In a related line of work, she uses implementation science frameworks to understand and work with school-based speech-language pathologists on their use of evidence-based practices. This line of work considers SLP-level and therapy-level variables, such as SLPs' self-efficacy, stress, job satisfaction, therapy quality, and treatment intensity, may impact the outcomes seen in children with speech and language impairments. Dr. Farquharson is a clinically-trained speech-language pathologist, a Board Certified Specialist in Child Language (BCS-CL), and an ASHA Fellow.
