Exploring participatory health research and its application to speech and language therapy research practices
Conclusions & Implications: PHR remains an under-represented research approach in the SLT literature, despite increasing evidence demonstrating its effectiveness and value. It offers a potential solution to the research-practice gap, and challenges the ongoing research hierarchies by democrating the process of knowledge production.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject PHR is increasingly attracting the attention of funders, researchers and decision-makers due to a growing body of evidence in support of this collaborative research approach. Despite its potential to bridge the research-practice gap,...

Considerations of dialect on the identification of speech sound disorder in Vietnamese-speaking children
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Diagnostic decision-making is influenced by dialectal variation in children's speech, so speech and language therapists need to compare standard and dialectal productions when undertaking assessments, analysis and diagnostic decision-making.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject Most speech assessments use the standard form of a dialect as the correct production. The standard dialect is used for diagnosis of SSD and identification of intervention targets. What this paper adds to the existing knowledge This paper examines five research studies of Vietnamese to identify ways to...

Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with music therapy in non-fluent aphasia after stroke: A randomised controlled study
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Our preliminary randomised controlled study indicates that low-frequency rTMS combined with music therapy is feasible and safe in improving language function and depression in non-fluent aphasia patients after stroke.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and music therapy respectively have advantages in the treatment of non-fluent aphasia after stroke, but whether the combination of the two methods is more effective is still unknown. What this paper adds to the existing knowledge This is one of the first randomised control...

Applying behaviour change theory to parent-led language interventions for children in the early years
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The BCTTv1 is a useful starting place for describing parent-led language interventions. With some additions and adjustments, BCTs identified in this study were immediately recognized by practitioners and can easily be adopted into practice.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject Techniques used in SLT interventions are often not clearly described. The BCTTv1 has been used to clarify technique descriptions with success in a small number of SLT disciplines, but not yet in parent-led language interventions for preschoola children. What this paper adds to the existing knowledge T...
