Overview
"This qualitative study explored the experiences and perspectives related to communication and speech-language therapy of four bilingual adolescents (aged 11-14) using photovoice. In response to prompts, students took photos representing their perspectives on communication and speech-language therapy. Participants met first with the researcher to discuss their photos and create captions, and then, as a group, to share photos, discuss themes, and create a photovoice video exhibit shared with individuals in the field of speech-language pathology. Three key themes emerged from the participant photos, captions, and meeting transcripts: communication challenges, growth mindset, and desire to generalize skills. Findings supported the following theories and approaches: the iceberg framework, growth mindset, the value of meaningful treatment, and the importance of metacognition. Responses to the photovoice exhibit revealed actions practitioners hoped to take including utilizing additional forms of expression in therapy and understanding and treating the whole client as a unique individual." -- Abstract
