Vaughn, Lori Elizabeth – ProQuest LLC, 2021
African American English (AAE)-speaking children's ability to judge the grammaticality of sentences was evaluated by their clinical status and grammatical structure. The study originated from a need to understand more about the tense and agreement systems of AAE speakers with specific language impairment (SLI) relative to their typically…

Aravind K. Namasivayam; Hyunji Shin; Rosane Nisenbaum; Margit Pukonen; Pascal van Lieshout – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate child- and intervention-level factors that predict improvements in functional communication outcomes in children with motor-based speech sound disorders. Method: Eighty-five preschool-age children with childhood apraxia of speech (n = 37) and speech motor delay (n = 48) participated.…

Avril Nicoll; Sue Roulstone; Brian Williams; Margaret Maxwell – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Many speech sound disorder (SSD) interventions with a long-term evidence base are 'new' to clinical practice, and the role of services in supporting or constraining capacity for practice change is underexplored. Innovations from implementation science may offer solutions to this research-practice gap but have not previously been…

Katherine Pritchard; Vesna Stojanovik; Jill Titterington; Emma Pagnamenta – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Speech sound disorders (SSDs) are broadly defined as difficulty producing speech sounds in childhood. Reported prevalence of SSD varies from 2.3% to 24.6%, depending on how SSD is defined and the included age range. SSDs that do not resolve before age 8 can have a lasting impact on a child's academic achievements. The intensity of…

Fostick, Leah; Taitelbaum-Swead, Riki; Kreitler, Shulamith; Zokraut, Shelly; Billig, Miriam – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Difficulty in understanding spoken speech is a common complaint among aging adults, even when hearing impairment is absent. Correlational studies point to a relationship between age, auditory temporal processing (ATP), and speech perception but cannot demonstrate causality unlike training studies. In the current study, we test (a) the…

Chenausky, Karen V.; Verdes, Alison; Shield, Aaron – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: Manual sign is a common alternative mode of communication taught to children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Gesture use is positively related to later increases in vocabulary and syntactic complexity in typical development, but there is little evidence supporting the use of manual sign for children with CAS. We sought to identify…

Tafiadis, Dionysios; Zarokanellou, Vasiliki; Prentza, Alexandra; Voniati, Louiza; Ziavra, Nafsika – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Diadochokinetic rates tasks are frequently used for the assessment of diadochokinesia (DKK) in young and elderly adults. However, there is scarce research on healthy elderly adults over 65 years old, and little is known about the effect of different types of stimuli (non-words/real words) in this specific population. Furthermore, the…

Isaacs, Dane; Swartz, Leslie – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: A disability studies approach seeks to understand and address political and social issues that affect disabled individuals. Disability studies scholars employ various models of disability to address and oppose the oppression and discrimination of disabled individuals. A disability studies approach, however, has largely been absent in…

Ehrhorn, Anna Marie – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Speech sound disorder (SSD) puts children at risk for word reading difficulties but does not guarantee them. Research on early literacy skills in children with SSD has primarily focused on phonological awareness due to speech sound deficits associated with SSD. Researchers have begun to examine multiple factors beyond phonological awareness that…

Michaelides, Orestis; Luciano, Michelle – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Reading and speech difficulties are common in childhood, yet it is not fully understood how much of their etiology is shared. This partly derives from methodological issues related to overlooking the potential co-occurrence between the two sets of difficulties. This study investigated the effects of five bioenvironmental predictors in a…

Wang, Zhi; Cheong, Loh Sau; Tian, Jing; Wang, Hai yan; Yuan, Yue; Zhang, Qian – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2023
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulties with emotion recognition and a number of interventions have been designed to address this problem. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of video-based intervention (The Transporters) on emotion recognition in four children (aged 4-8 years old) with ASD who have limited…

Bell, Linda; Connelly, Vincent; Grünke, Matthias; Schulden, Matthias – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2023
In this pilot single-case study, we evaluated the effects of using LEGO® as a tool for students identified with disabilities to improve their expressive writing performance. We applied a simple ABA reversal design to test whether the intervention was effective with four seventh graders. Social validity data were also obtained. Findings indicate…

Kaila L. Stipancic; Mojgan Golzy; Yunxin Zhao; Louise Pinkerton; Andrea Rohl; Mili Kuruvilla-Dugdale – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Auditory training has been shown to reduce rater variability in perceptual voice assessment. Because rater variability is also a central issue in the auditory-perceptual assessment of dysarthria, this study sought to determine if training produces a meaningful change in rater reliability, criterion validity, and scaling magnitude of four…

Maria I. Grigos; Julie Case; Ying Lu; Zhuojun Lyu – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Speech motor skill is refined over the course of practice, which is commonly reflected by increased accuracy and consistency. This research examined the relationship between auditory-perceptual ratings of word accuracy and measures of speech motor timing and variability at pre- and posttreatment in children with childhood apraxia of…

Adrienne D. Woods; Paul L. Morgan; Yangyang Wang; George Farkas; Marianne M. Hillemeier – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2025
The extent to which reading achievement is causally impacted by eligibility for special education services due to a learning disability (LD) or speech or language impairment (SLI) is currently unclear. In this registered report, we analyzed U.S. national data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study--Kindergarten Cohort of 2010-2011 (ECLS-K:…
