### Questionnaire
Most of the parents were involved in more than half of the sessions. It should be noted that evidence from further informal interviews with SLTs show that the participation at the beginning and end of the session is, many times, reduced to the brief moments where the parent drops off or picks up the child from where the therapy session took place, lasting a couple of minutes at most. This is reinforced by the analysis of the answers used to generate Figure 8. While some SLTs say that they try to ask families to participate in the entire session, many also say that they include the family in the last minutes of the session or that they are \"included\" in the session by passing feedback to them. Speech and language therapists then rated the family participation during sessions using a 5-point Likert scale, that ranged from non-participative to strongly participative. Results showed that families were mostly perceived as being Participative (12 answers) and Strongly Participative (3 answers), but some were also seen as Neutral (4 answers). However, when questioned, about how committed the families were, SLTs revealed that it was quite variable in time, with the child's progress acting as a positive element in terms of participation. The strategies used to monitor and support the families were mostly based on direct contact, as shown in Figure 9.  
Figure 8: The story of family involvement in the therapy sessions. The questionnaire also assessed the continuation of the intervention therapy process, at-home. This part was answered by 28 respondents only, because the remaining 5 had previously answered that they did not involve the family. The answer to the question \"Do you usually send activities home, to be done by the child with support from parents?\" had a majority of SLTs answering Yes, with only four negative responses. This shows the importance of not only the continuation of the session at the clinic or school, but also of the parents' involvement. When questioned about their negative answer, four SLTs revealed that they preferred to send or exchange with the family sets of instructions in order to adapt everyday life into speech and language exercises, instead of sending worksheets. The 24 positive respondents were further questioned regarding the types of exercises they used. Every SLT used more than one exercise type, so the answers were coded until a single word could describe their meaning, an idea or tool used. The result, shown in Figure 10, revealed that many preferred to send home some kind of game children could play with their parents, others opted to ask the parents to recap/review the session by making them use the same or very similar exercises to the ones used during the session. Worksheets were also a viable option, as well as reading stories or making use of strategies to include the exercises in the family routine. Interestingly, crafts (paper cut outs or drawings) were less used. Regarding how SLTs check if the exercises were executed (besides noticing the child's speech and language development between sessions), a simple coding of SLTs' answers was used to analyse the data. Results, shown in Figure 11 revealed that most SLTs rely on feedback, possibly from an unreliable narrator due to age (child) or social pressure (parents). When asked \"Do you think you have the necessary tools or means to check if the exercises were done correctly?\", 16 respondents said No. The 8 that answered positively added that they would always check answers, use role-play, or even that, more important than checking the answers, was to check the achieved therapy goals. Some SLTs would like to use online tools or mobile apps, a digital service that would allow immediate notification of the SLT upon task completion by the child, with a log system to ascertain errors, time spent in exercises, errors (and solutions), and if there was any parent support. Most of the limitations presented were related with sound or video quality, how comfortable people were in front of cameras, and how these might impact the exercises.
