Tristan J. Mahr; Paul J. Rathouz; Katherine C. Hustad – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Earlier work has established developmental benchmarks for intelligibility and articulation rate, but the intersection of these two variables, especially within individual children, has received limited attention. This study examines the interaction between intelligibility and speaking rate in typically developing children between the ages…

Cassandra Alighieri; Andrew Hodges; Jolien Verbeke; Katrien Kestens; Kim Bettens; Rica Albite; Raphaelle May Tan; Kristiane Van Lierde – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Adults presenting with unrepaired cleft palate are not a rare occurrence in middle-income countries. However, many surgeons are hesitant to operate on these individuals because of the challenges in repairing the wide adult cleft palate, as well as concerns regarding any improvement in speech in older patients. Unfortunately, the…

Benedette M. Herbst; Molly Beiting; Martine Schultheiss; Nina R. Benway; Jonathan L. Preston – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2025
Purpose: This study evaluates the initial efficacy of Chaining SPeech Lessons in Intensive Ten-minute Sessions (SPLITS), an alternative service delivery model for the Speech Motor Chaining treatment approach. We hypothesized that Chaining SPLITS would result in improvements in /[Voiced alveolar approximant]/ accuracy on syllables and untrained…

Joanne Cleland; Robyn McCluskey; Marie Dokovova; Lisa Crampin; Linsay Campbell – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Ultrasound visual biofeedback (UVBF) has the potential to be useful for the treatment of compensatory errors in speakers with cleft palate ± lip (CP±L), but there is little research on its effectiveness, or on how acceptable families find the technique. This study reports on parents' and children's perspectives on taking part in a…

Camryn Claire Terblanche; Michelle Pascoe; Michal Harty – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: There is a global need for synthetic speech development in multiple languages and dialects, as many children who cannot communicate using their natural voice struggle to find synthetic voices on high-technology devices that match their age, social and linguistic background. Aims: To document multiple stakeholders' perspectives…

Stéphanie Colin; Jean Ecalle; Annie Magnan – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2025
Recent studies suggest that benefiting early from both a cochlear implant (CI) and exposure to cued speech (CS, support system for the perception of oral language) positively impacts deaf children's speech perception, speech intelligibility, and reading. This study aims to show how: 1/CS-based speech perception ("cue reading"), and…
