Connected Speech Fluency in Poststroke and Progressive Aphasia: A Scoping Review of Quantitative Approaches and Features
CONCLUSIONS: Data from this review demonstrate the feasibility and utility of quantitative approaches to index connected speech fluency in PSA and PPA. We identified emergent trends toward automated analysis methods and data-driven approaches, which offer promising avenues for clinical translation of quantitative approaches. There is a further need for improved consensus on which subset of individual features might be most clinically useful for assessment and monitoring of fluency.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25537237.PMID:38652820 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJSLP-23-00208 (Source: American Journal of Speec...

Pedagogical Approaches to Cultural and Linguistic Diversity in Communication Sciences and Disorders Programs: A Nationwide Survey
CONCLUSIONS: A combination of curricular infusion and dedicated CLD coursework is recommended to ensure sufficient training in CLD issues. The development of additional resources is needed to better support instructors in both general-content and CLD-dedicated courses. Finally, CLD training should engage students in challenging unjust systems and harmful ideologies and not just celebrate multiculturalism in order to provide culturally responsive service to all clients.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25587651.PMID:38648532 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJSLP-23-00032 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Self-Reported Home Program Adherence by People With Aphasia: Exploring Construct Validity
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that some people with aphasia can use logbooks with aphasia-friendly modifications to accurately estimate the amount of practice completed outside of therapy sessions.PMID:38640071 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJSLP-23-00206 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Gesture's Role in the Communication of Adults With Different Types of Aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our results provide evidence for a compensatory role of gesture in aphasia communication. Adults with Broca's aphasia, who showed the greatest speech production difficulties, also relied most on gesture, and this pattern was particularly pronounced in the third-person narrative context.PMID:38625101 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJSLP-23-00046 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Poststroke Communication Ability Predicts Patient-Informant Discrepancies in Reported Activities and Participation
DISCUSSION: These findings highlight the importance of measuring participation by PROM. The PWA's experience of participation is not related to their level of language impairment and is predictably different from their care partners' perspective. As others have also reported, "mild" aphasia is not so mild to the PWA. Similarly, "severe" may not be so severe to the PWA. Further research is needed to connect these findings with counseling and caregiver education. Research on response processes (e.g., response shift) is also warranted.PMID:38625105 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJSLP-23-00322 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)
