Balancing Certainty and Uncertainty in Clinical Practice.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Clinical practice, unlike science, has no independent self-correction mechanism that leads to consensus about best clinical practices. Evidence-based models provide principles and guidelines for clinical practice, but ultimately, clinical decisions may be influenced most by a practitioner's epistemology (belief systems) and propensity for rational thinking.

PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this article is to provide a closer look at the individualization process whereby early childhood professionals ensure that the individualized learning priorities for each child are appropriately addressed. METHOD: Early childhood professionals, including speech-language pathologists (SLPs), are working to meet the federal mandate of access to and progress in the general curriculum for children with disabilities. A promising approach to achieving this mandate is a multitiered model of support that has as its foundation a high-quality, universally designed curriculum. Following a brief de...

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the studies indicate SSL is a reliable measure that increases as children develop. Children with language impairment exhibit lower SSL scores than children with typical language skills. Further, lower than expected MBL is predictive of lack of meaningful speech at 24 months of age. Discussion MBL and SSL have clinical application in terms of initial evaluation as well as progress monitoring. Recommendations for standardized corpus inclusion procedures are presented.

The Early Years of Language Speech and Hearing Services in US Schools.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Between 1895 and 1921 most of the major cities in the US had hired their first speech clinicians. Between 1921 and 1930 many cities expanded their programs and were hiring supervisors to coordinate these services. These early clinicians carved out some now-familiar practices. Comparing what they did and when and how they did it with today's practices can offer school clinicians of today a sense of their own history and identity. Such an understanding can also provide insights about some of today's taken-for-granted practices. PMID: 19755642 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Language, Speech, and...

The narrow view of reading promotes a broad view of comprehension.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the narrow view of reading seems restrictive, it actually leads to a broad view of comprehension. The latter view, which is consistent with current research, proposes that comprehension is an active process in which readers use background knowledge and a range of cognitive processes to construct a coherent representation of text. This view challenges some current approaches to assessment and instruction of reading comprehension. It does not, however, diminish the role that SLPs can play in intervention related to reading comprehension. PMID: 18952809 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: La...

A Case for the Sentence in Reading Comprehension.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION Sentence complexity can create comprehension problems for struggling readers. The contribution of sentence comprehension to successful reading has been overlooked in models that emphasize domain-general comprehension strategies at the text level. The author calls for the evaluation of sentence comprehension within the context of content domains where complex sentences are found.
