Māori speech-language therapy research undertaken in New Zealand in the past 20 years has been identified in a scoping review. Eligible literature included all original research published in peer-reviewed journals, and all honours, Masters and PhD theses. A total of 21 publications (12 articles, 9 theses) were included in the review. Most research was published in the last 10 years. A te reo Māori (Māori language) focus was evident in more than half of the theses but only 1 article. Kaupapa Māori research methodologies were used in 7 theses but only 3 articles. The authors noted that with such a small amount of research across the entire speech-language therapy field, there is no aspect that has been researched to a level sufficient to inform evidence-based practice for Māori.
