Summary

Communicative participation is the primary outcome of speech and language therapy for people with communication disorders. However, there are no instruments that measure communicative participation from the perspective of adolescents and young adults. Moreover, little research has been conducted in which adolescents and young adults with various communication problems were asked about relevant participation situations in which they need to communicate. Before a new measurement instrument can be developed, it is necessary to explore adolescents’ and young adults’ views on their communicative participation.
