Transcribing the speech of children with cochlear implants: clinical application of narrow phonetic transcriptions.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: A set of principles for phonetic transcriptions is proposed. 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. PMID: 19880945 [PubMed - in process] (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Evidence-Based Systematic Review: Effect of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Swallowing and Neural Activation.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review reveals that surface NMES to the neck has been most extensively studied with promising findings, yet high quality controlled trials are needed to provide evidence of efficacy. 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.

The Effects of Fast ForWord-Language on the Phonemic Awareness and Reading Skills of School-Age Children with Language Impairments and Poor Reading Skills.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: The improvement in phonemic awareness, but not reading, in the FFW-L, CALI and ILI interventions limits their use with children who have language impairment and poor reading skills. Similar results across treatment conditions suggest that acoustically modified speech was not a necessary component for improving phonemic awareness.

Does Race/Ethnicity Really Matter in Adult Neurogenics?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Because few studies report race/ethnicity or consider how race/ethnicity has the potential to confound the results and conclusions drawn, the generalization of the reported findings may be limited. 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.

The Effects of Foreground and Background Color Cues on Typically Developing Preschoolers' Speed of Locating a Target Line Drawing: Implications for AAC Display Design.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Clinicians should consider incorporating color in the foreground of the line drawing when constructing visual displays. Targets that contain only background color but no foreground color appear to have a negative effect on the speed with which younger children can locate a target. Further research is needed to determine the effects in children with disabilities. PMID: 19332524 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Evaluation of a Deductive Procedure to Teach Grammatical Inflections to Children with Language Impairment.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The deductive teaching procedure was found to be efficacious when teaching a novel grammatical inflection. 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.

Identification of Children with Language Impairment: Investigating the Classification Accuracy of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory-III (CDI-II).Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Results of this study contribute to the accumulating evidence on the types of valid inferences that may be made from the CDI-III, specifically its classification accuracy. Further research should continue to investigate classification accuracy in larger samples with broader maternal education levels and with different types of language impairments. Additional research should also investigate the classification accuracy when the CDI-III is used in combination with other tests.

Fundamental frequency variation with an electrolarynx improves speech understanding: A case study.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Variable F0 contributes to speech understanding in noise. Because speech produced by an EL is considered to have poorer intelligibility in relation to other alaryngeal methods, training alaryngeal talkers to use variable F0 may prove to be of significant benefit for communication for those who use electrolarynges.

Is Expressive Language Disorder an Accurate Diagnostic Category?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The notion of "expressive language disorder" has been formalized in classification systems and is implicit if not explicit in the organization of many standardized tests. 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.

Defining and Measuring Dysphagia Following Stroke.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that the definition of dysphagia is critical in determining whether or not persons are classified with disordered swallowing. The definition is dependent on materials and measures evaluated. Each measure provides independent aspects to the evaluation.

Expanding the "Ports of Entry" For Speech-Language Pathologists: A Relational and Reflective Model for Clinical Practice.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: The underlying premise in this framework is that working from a relationally - based and reflective perspective augments change and growth in both client and parent(s). The challenge is for speech-language pathologists to embed mental health constructs within their discipline-specific expertise. This leads to paying attention to both observable aspects of clients' behaviors as well as their internal affective states.

Differential diagnosis of paradoxical vocal fold movement.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: PVFM is characterized by inappropriate adduction of the vocal folds during inspiration. 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.

Principles of motor learning in treatment of motor speech disorders.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Evidence from nonspeech motor learning suggests that various principles may interact with each other and differentially affect diverse aspects of movements. Whereas few studies have directly examined these principles in speech motor (re)learning, available evidence suggests that these principles hold promise for treatment of motor speech disorders. Further research is necessary to determine which principles apply to speech motor (re)learning in impaired populations.
