However, there has been only limited profession\u2010specific discussion of qualitative methodologies and their potential application to speech and language therapy.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Aim:<\/jats:italic> To describe the methodology of grounded theory, and to explain how it might usefully be applied to areas of speech and language research where theoretical frameworks or models are lacking.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Methods &amp; Procedures:<\/jats:italic> Grounded theory as a methodology for inductive theory\u2010building from qualitative data is explained and discussed. Some differences between \u2018modes\u2019 of grounded theory are clarified and areas of controversy within the literature are highlighted. The past application of grounded theory to speech and language therapy, and its potential for informing research and clinical practice, are examined.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Main contribution:<\/jats:italic> This paper provides an in\u2010depth critique of a qualitative research methodology, including an overview of the main difference between two major \u2018modes\u2019. The article supports the application of a theory\u2010building approach in the profession, which is sometimes complex to learn and apply, but worthwhile in its results.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> Grounded theory as a methodology has much to offer speech and language therapists and researchers. Although the majority of research and discussion around this methodology has rested within sociology and nursing, grounded theory can be applied by researchers in any field, including speech and language therapists. The benefit of the grounded theory method to researchers and practitioners lies in its application to social processes and human interactions. The resulting theory may support further research in the speech and language therapy profession.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/13682820701437245","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,19]],"date-time":"2008-02-19T01:34:15Z","timestamp":1203384855000},"page":"95-109","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Grounded theory as a method for research in speech and language therapy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"Skeat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Perry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/104973239600600306"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1800.1997.tb00085.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1800.1997.tb00096.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","first-page":"32","article-title":"Qualitative research: more than teaching an old dog new tricks?","volume":"4","author":"Barry S.","year":"2002","journal-title":"ACQuiring Knowledge in Speech, Language and Hearing"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/104973239300300207"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/1058-0360(2003\/063)"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13682820500224125"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","first-page":"509","volume-title":"Handbook of Qualitative Research","author":"Charmaz K.","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2648.1997.t01-25-00999.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2648.2000.01430.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/1058-0360(2003\/060)"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/13682829809179481"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","first-page":"28","article-title":"An introduction to qualitative research approaches","volume":"4","author":"Davidson B.","year":"2002","journal-title":"ACQuiring Knowledge in Speech, Language and Hearing"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/13682828809019885"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","volume-title":"Qualitative Analysis: Practice and Innovation","author":"Ezzy","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","volume-title":"Theoretical Sensitivity: Advances in the Methodology of Grounded Theory","author":"Glaser B.
