Core outcomes for speech-language services in Ontario schools: a group concept mapping study and guiding framework

Paper by Peter T. Cahill et al

Background

'Establishing the most important outcomes for school-based speech-language therapy is essential to guide future research and program evaluation for these services. Many health disciplines have developed core outcomes sets (COS) for this purpose.

'A COS encompasses the most important outcomes for particular health services as identified by appropriate interested parties. These interested parties usually represent health care providers and those with the health condition.

'In this paper, we report the development of a guiding framework for a COS for speech-language therapy services in schools in a Canadian context.'
