Allen, Jodi E.; Clunie, Gemma M.; Slinger, Claire; Haines, Jemma; Mossey-Gaston, Corinne; Zaga, Chariss J.; Scott, Becky; Wallace, Sarah; Govender, Roganie – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Ultrasound (US) is not widely used as part of the speech and language therapy (SLT) clinical toolkit. The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified interest in US as an alternative to SLT instrumental tools such as the videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and endoscopic evaluation of…

Horácek, J.; Radolf, V.; Laukkanen, A.-M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Phonations into a tube with the distal end either in the air or submerged in water are used for voice therapy. This study explores the effective mechanisms of these therapy methods. Method: The study applied a physical model complemented by calculations from a computational model, and the results were compared to those that have been…

Rivera Campos, Ahmed; Ristau, Jyl – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: This proof-of-concept study examined the effectiveness of an ultrasound visual biofeedback (UVB) training within the Participatory Adult Teaching Strategy framework for instructing speech-language pathologists (SLPs) on the assessment of sonographic tongue configuration for remediation of speech sound errors. Method: This research…

Furlong, Lisa; Serry, Tanya; Erickson, Shane; Morris, Meg E. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2018
Background: Children with speech-sound disorders (SSD) constitute a significant proportion of speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) caseloads. Previous research has investigated the clinical practice of SLPs intervening with children with SSD; however, little is known about the clinical decision-making underpinning their practice. Aims: The…

Klein, Harriet B.; McAllister Byun, Tara; Davidson, Lisa; Grigos, Maria I. – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2013
Purpose: This study explored relationships among perceptual, ultrasound, and acoustic measurements of children's correct and misarticulated /r/ sounds. Longitudinal data documenting changes across these parameters were collected from 2 children who acquired /r/ over a period of intervention and were compared with data from children with typical…

Sussman, Harvey M.; Byrd, Courtney T.; Guitar, Barry – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2011
This article analysed the acoustic structure of voiced stop ++ vowel sequences in a group of persons who stutter (PWS). This phonetic unit was chosen because successful production is highly dependent on the differential tweaking of right-to-left anticipatory coarticulation as a function of stop place. Thus, essential elements of both speech motor…

Glaspey, Amy M.; MacLeod, Andrea A. N. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2010
The purpose of the current study is to document phonological change from a multidimensional perspective for a 3-year-old boy with phonological disorder by comparing three measures: (1) accuracy of consonant productions, (2) dynamic assessment, and (3) acoustic analysis. The methods included collecting a sample of the targets /s, [image omitted],…
