Clinically, this can be useful in documenting the presence of language dysfunction when traditional standardized language assessments would not reveal communication problems.

Concerns about maintenance and generalization are identified. Emerging evidence of potential pre-intervention child characteristics are discussed. Phase IV was identified as a possibly influential program characteristic for speech outcomes.

The differential results hint that NWs may benefit treatment efficacy and efficiency, but this remains to be determined through prospective study. Consideration is given to a potential theoretical account of the NW effects, with appeal to the literature on novel word learning.

The relationship between the NSS and microstructural measures demonstrates that it is a robust measure of children's overall oral narrative competence and a powerful tool for clinicians and researchers. The unique relationship between lexical diversity and the NSS confirmed that a special relationship exists between vocabulary and narrative organization skills in young school-age children.

They supported clients' rights to make healthcare choices. Bioethical principles, casuistry and narrative reasoning provided useful frameworks for facilitating health professionals' application of Codes of Ethics to complex professional practice issues.

New robust diagnostic assessment tools and computerized treatment methods designed to enhance children's WM functioning have also been developed. The assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of the language difficulties in SLI should consider the potential influence of WM.

If the goal of intervention is to improve communicative participation, intervention may need to extend beyond traditional speech pathology boundaries to include other health symptoms as well as personal, social and physical environments.

Narrow phonetic transcriptions that include all segment possibilities in the International Phonetic Alphabet and extensions for disordered speech are needed to capture the subtleties of the speech of children with cochlear implants. Narrow transcriptions also may play a key role in planning treatment.

Surface NMES to the palate, faucial pillars, and pharynx has been explored in Phase I research but no evidence of efficacy is currently available. Intramuscular NMES has been investigated in a single Phase I exploratory study. Additional research is needed to document the effects of such protocols on swallowing performance.

METHOD: Twenty-four typically-developing children, ages 3;0 to 4;0, were included in this study: eight bilingual Spanish-English speaking children, eight monolingual Spanish speakers, and eight monolingual English speakers. Single word speech samples were obtained to examine (1) differences on the accuracy of EML sounds between Spanish-English bilingual children and monolingual Spanish and monolingual English children and (2) the developmental trend on the accuracy of EML sounds within languages for Spanish-English bilingual children and monolingual Spanish and monolin...

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

Reporting race/ethnicity is likely critical to the external validity of studies in adult neurogenic communication disorders and when available can enhance the relevance of the findings reported.

However, this effect was limited because treatment gains varied across participants, testing contexts, and sessions. Future studies should continue to examine the efficacy of deductive procedures when integrated into traditional implicit approaches for children with language impairment.

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.

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.

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.

Associations were similar to adjustments reported in prior studies of parent and teacher interactions with children with differing language abilities. However, the extent to which these findings generalize to other clinicians needs to be examined. Results from the present study challenge clinicians to dedicate conscious thought toward how their linguistic input should be structured, taking into consideration both the goal of the interaction and each child's profile of linguistic strengths and weaknesses.

Arguably, this format is more informative to clinicians than independent essays and rebuttals in a sequence of letters to the editor. One of its advantages is that it provides insights into the issue at stake by means of short and contemporaneous segments of spontaneous interaction.

Altered auditory feedback is a derivation of choral speech (nature's most powerful stuttering "inhibitor") that can be synergistically combined with other methods for optimal stuttering inhibition. This approach is logical considering that in stuttering no single treatment is universally helpful. Also, caution is suggested when attempting to differentiate science from pseudoscience in stuttering treatments using the criteria employed by Finn et al. For example, evaluating behavioral therapy outcomes implements a post hoc or untestable system. Speech outcome (i.e., stuttered or fluent speech) determines success or failure of technique use, placing responsibility for failure on those who stutter. PMID...

First, there is a growing trend to develop more, not fewer, multidimensional scoring systems because the older plus-minus method loses too much information about the patient. Second, although the Odekar and Hallowell article has an extensive discussion on the PICA, implying that this test battery is to be the focus of the study, the actual experiment employed the Revised Token Test and had little to do with the PICA. Third, the stated aim of the study, to demonstrate that plus-minus scoring is faster and less time consuming than multidimensional scoring, was not included in the experimental design. Finally, changes that replace established and effective clinical methods must not affect patient care negatively. PMID: 17329679 [PubMed - index...

The most powerful treatments for adults, with respect to both speech outcomes and social, emotional, or cognitive outcomes, appear to combine variants of prolonged speech, self-management, response contingencies, and other infrastructural variables. Other specific clinical recommendations for each age group are provided, as are suggestions for future research.

Spectral features of consonants were initially affected, although adaptation occurred. Wearing an EPG or pseudo-EPG palate for approximately 2 hr results in relatively normal-sounding speech with acoustic features similar to a no-palate condition.

Because it depends on nonspeech observations, its application to speech and/or voice production must be inferred.

Specifically, the study examined whether the relative number of stuttering-like disfluencies (SLD) per 100 syllables, as well as the length of disfluencies (number of iterations per disfluent event), varied systematically across 4 consecutive, 300-syllable sections in the same speech sample. The difference in the number of SLD per 100 syllables between the early and later sections of the speech sample was statistically significant. In addition, the length of the speech sample had a critical influence on the identification of stuttering in children exhibiting relatively low leve...

The participants modified their repair topographies to correspond to changes in the environment. The findings from this study offer ways to enhance assessment and intervention of early communication. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
