The results suggest that storytelling ability draws upon a number of underlying skills and underscore the importance of using discrete cognitive tasks rather than broad cognitive indices in investigating the cognitive substrates of discourse.

Behavioral and fMRI results support the notion that the intense and repetitive nature of obligatory speech production in CIAT has a positive effect on word retrieval, even in chronic moderate-to-severe aphasia with co-morbid AOS.

Two individuals with mild-moderate aphasia improved verbal production for both IGT and PGT, while pantomime treatment led to improved gesture use in two individuals with severe aphasia.

These factors should be carefully considered in making clinical decisions.

Describing the communication status of individuals with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities is difficult because these individuals often communicate with presymbolic means that may not be readily recognized. Our goal was to design a communication scale and summary score for interpretation that could be applied across populations of children and adults with limited (often presymbolic) communication forms. Methods The Communication Complexity Scale (CCS) was developed by a team of researchers and tested with 178 participants with varying levels of presymbolic and early symboli...

Additional aims were to determine whether children's initial language abilities and teachers' use of responsivity strategies were associated with language outcomes, in particular. METHOD: In this randomized controlled trial, preschool centers were assigned to a responsivity education intervention (n = 19 centers, 25 teachers, 174 children) or a "business-as-usual" control condition (n = 19 centers, 24 teachers, 156 children).

While IRT is not new, its application in speech-language pathology to date has been relatively limited in scope. Several new IRT-based instruments are currently emerging. IRT differs from traditional methods for test development, typically referred to Classical Test Theory (CTT), in several theoretical and practical ways. Administration, scoring, and interpretation of IRT instruments are different from methods used for most traditional CTT instruments. SLPs will need to understand the basic concepts of IRT instruments in order to use these tools in their clinical and research work. This paper provides an introduction to IRT concepts draw...

Both length and grammatical factors appear to impact stuttering in Spanish-speaking children. Grammatical errors, however, served as the greatest predictor of stuttering.

The appropriate existing term for the interpretation of treatment outcomes, or the attribution of meaning or value to treatment outcomes, is clinical significance. To further distinguish between important constructs, the present authors suggest incorporating as definitive the existing notion that clinical significance may refer to measures selected or interpreted by professionals or with respect to groups of clients. The term personal significance is introduced to refer to goals, variables, measures, and changes that are of demonstrated value to individual clients.

Reduced pharyngeal peak pressure and increased UES relaxation pressure underscore the notion that tongue-hold swallows should not be performed when bolus is present. Long-term training effects remain to be investigated.

Similar results across treatment conditions suggest that acoustically modified speech was not a necessary component for improving phonemic awareness.

However, a close inspection of the evidence suggests that deficits in language expression are typically accompanied by limitations in language knowledge or difficulties processing language input. For this reason, the diagnostic category "expressive language disorder" should be used with considerable caution. This view has implications for both research and clinical practice.

The developmental stages outlined in this paradigm can be used to understand supervisees' patterns of change and growth over time as well as to create optimal learning environments that match their developmental level and knowledge base.

Asymmetries were noted more often during habitual than pressed phonations, and when visualized by HSV and kymography than stroboscopy.

PVFM is an uncommon and sometimes confusing cause of airway obstruction. The resultant obstruction may be intermittent or continuous, mild or severe. Most patients with PVFM have a specific etiology - inflammatory, neurological, neoplastic, iatrogenic, or psychological - which influences type of treatment and outcome.

However, directed scanning did not afford a relative advantage in children's selection efficiency compared with group-item scanning. Performance using group-item scanning does not appear to be affected by requisite cursor movements for selection. Limitations and educational implications are discussed.

Data also suggested a continuing critical need for more academic and clinical preparation in this area.

Problems with the conceptual model, reliability, validity, and responsiveness of available instruments, as well as the lack of comprehensive normative data, combine to suggest the need for development and validation of a stuttering-specific health-related quality of life measure.

Recommendations are offered for future test revisions and development efforts that can benefit from recent research in test development and in pediatric motor speech disorders.

However, we agree that the existing evidence for the use of pharmacological agents with persons who stutter is insufficient to recommend them in practice. Directions for improving the quality of clinical trials are suggested. In addition, we advocate for the multimethod measurement in stuttering research, including comparison, subjective evaluation, and social impact measures.

While we do not agree with many of Meline and Harn's critiques of our review, we do agree with them that several larger points raise interesting questions about the structure, analysis, and usefulness of literature reviews in stuttering and in other areas. Fundamentally, we reassert our agreement with Meline and Harn that there is insufficient evidence to support the use of existing pharmacological agents in the treatment of stuttering.
