- Abstract
This article reports on speech-language pathologists' (SLPs') knowledge related to myths about spoken language learning of children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH). The broader study was designed as a step toward narrowing the research-practice gap and providing effective, evidence-based language services to children. In the broader study, SLPs (n = 106) reported their agreement/disagreement with myth statements and true statements (n = 52) about 7 clinical topics related to speech and language development. For the current report, participant responses to 7 statements within the DHH topic were analyzed. Participants exhibited a relative strength in bilingualism knowledge for spoken languages and a relative weakness in audiovisual integration knowledge. Much individual variation was observed. Participants' responses were more likely to align with current evidence about bilingualism if the participants had less experience as an SLP. The findings provide guidance on prioritizing topics for speech-language pathology preservice and professional development.
