探討南非語言治療師於青年矯正機構中的自我角色認知

// Exploring the Self-Perceived Role of South African Speech-Language Pathologists in Youth Correctional Facilities

本研究調查南非語言治療師（SLPs）對司法涉入青少年（JIY）復健角色的看法｜35位SLPs線上混合調查顯示，多數不熟悉在少年矯正機構中的工作，但認為語言治療可促進復健，特別是在識字與溝通評估方面｜雖多數支持增加SLPs倡議，卻不到半數願意在矯正場域工作，結果展現正面態度並凸顯需深化相關研究。

// This study explored South African speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) perceptions of their role in rehabilitating justice-involved youth (JIY). Using a mixed-method online survey of 35 SLPs, results showed most were unfamiliar with current SLP roles in youth correctional facilities but believed SLP involvement could benefit rehabilitation, especially in literacy support and communication assessment. Although many supported increased advocacy for SLP inclusion, fewer than half felt comfortable working in correctional settings. The findings indicate positive attitudes toward SLP roles in JIY rehabilitation and highlight the need for further research.
