This thesis examines how parents of children who are successful in therapy are involved,
from the parent’s perspective. Literature on parental involvement in therapy is limited,
especially findings from the parent’s perspective. This thesis follows a
phenomenological qualitative design. The investigator interviewed three mothers
regarding their participation. The investigator then transcribed the interviews and
cyclically analyzed them to find salient themes across all three. There were two shared
themes, acceptance and emotions. It is hoped that this study will provide insight for other
parents so that they can contribute to their children’s success in speech-language
intervention.
