Autistic Children's Irritability During Social Communication Assessments
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that the CSBS may pose unique challenges for autistic children, as it led to higher rates of irritability and negatively affected children's social communication scores. Evaluating the association between assessment type and irritability supports the complete characterization of autistic children's experience during assessments and clinicians in obtaining a more representative measure of social communication.PMID:38010261 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00216 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Applying a Developmental Model to Preliterate Aided Language Learning
CONCLUSIONS: No single AAC approach for preliterate AAC language learners adequately addresses both immediate and longer-term expressive language needs; every approach has both strengths and weaknesses. Clinical decision making requires an analysis of each approach to ensure that AAC service delivery teams clearly understand the inevitable linguistic gaps, with plans put into place to fill in those gaps with different approaches. Future efforts to improve preliterate AAC service provision should use a developmental model of language as a starting point, in combination with input from families, educators, and clinicians to ...

Examining Graduate Training in Written Language and the Impact on Speech-Language Pathologists' Practice: Perspectives From Faculty and Clinicians
CONCLUSIONS: SLPs play a key role on literacy teams in schools, but many SLPs did not receive adequate training in written language. In order to ensure SLPs are trained to work with children with reading difficulties, graduate programs should ensure that written language is part of the clinical and academic curricula.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24543469.PMID:37971415 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-22-00327 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Relationships Between Psychological Distress and Affective, Behavioral, and Cognitive Experiences of Stuttering
CONCLUSIONS: Levels of PD in PWS approximate those of the general community, highlighting the existence of psychologically distressed subgroups of PWS. Speech situation-specific anxiety had the strongest relationship to PD, followed closely by one's report of situation-specific speech disruption. To a lesser but still significant extent, PWS' frequency to which they engage in various avoidance/escape behaviors, as well as their communication attitude, predicted levels of psychopathology. These data inform diagnostic and clinical decision making, drawing attention to factors that should be attended to in treatment.PMID:3795...

Association Between Social Determinants of Health and Communication Difficulties in Poststroke U.S. Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Populations
CONCLUSIONS: This study underscores the need for uniform measures of SDOH in prospective research and for interventions aimed at mitigating health disparities through addressing disparities in SDOH. Future research should focus on evaluating the effectiveness of such strategies in diverse ethnic and socioeconomic poststroke populations.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24521419.PMID:37956702 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00232 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)
