Treating Speech Movement Hypokinesia in Parkinson's Disease: Does Movement Size Matter?
Conclusions This study demonstrated that using an augmented visual feedback approach is beneficial, beyond a verbal cue alone, in addressing articulatory hypokinesia in individuals with PD. An optimal degree of articulatory expansion might, however, be required to elicit a speech intelligibility benefit. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

The Shape Bias in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Potential Sources of Individual Differences
Conclusions These findings suggest that no single account sufficiently explains the observed individual differences in shape bias performance in children with ASD. Nonetheless, these findings break new ground in highlighting the role of social communicative interactions as integral to understanding specific language outcomes (i.e., the shape bias) in children with ASD, especially those with low verbal abilities, and point to new hypotheses concerning the linguistic content of these interactions.Presentation Videohttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.7299581 (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Early Motor and Communicative Development in Infants With an Older Sibling With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Conclusions Advances in communicative and language development are supported by advances in motor skill. When these advances are slowed and/or when new skills are not consolidated and remain challenging for the infant, the enhanced potential for exploration afforded by new abilities and the concomitant increase in opportunities for learning are reduced. Improving our understanding of communicative delays of the sort observed in ASD and developing effective intervention methods requires going beyond the individual to consider the constant, complex interplay between developing communicators and their environments.Presentatio...

Lexical Development in Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): How ASD May Affect Intake From the Input
Conclusion Our review of studies that examine lexical development in children with ASD suggests that innovative intervention approaches that take into account both the social communication and processing demands of the learning situation may be particularly beneficial.

Executive Function Skills in School-Age Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Association With Language Abilities
Conclusions There is a need for future research to examine the direction of influence between EF and language. It would be beneficial for EF interventions with children with ASD to consider language outcomes and, conversely, to examine whether specific language training facilitates aspects of executive control in children on the autism spectrum.Presentation Videohttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.7298144 (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

SMARTer Approach to Personalizing Intervention for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Conclusion Bridging the gap between research studies and clinical practice can be advanced by research that attempts to answer questions pertinent to the broad heterogeneity in children with autism spectrum disorder, their response to interventions, and the fact that a single intervention is not effective for all children.Presentation Videohttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.7298021 (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Changing Developmental Trajectories of Toddlers With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Strategies for Bridging Research to Community Practice
Conclusions Current health care and education systems are challenged to provide intervention of adequate intensity for toddlers with ASD. The use of innovative technology can increase acceleration of access to evidence-based early intervention for toddlers with ASD that addresses health disparities, enables immediate response as soon as ASD is suspected, and rapidly bridges the research-to-practice gap.Presentation Videohttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.7297817 (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Pilot Study of Audiometric Patterns in Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy
Conclusion In the first study to use objectively measured hearing, FCD was associated with poorer low-frequency and better high-frequency audiometric thresholds than population controls. Further studies are needed to characterize this relationship. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Hearing Loss Treatment in Older Adults With Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review
Conclusion Based on the systematic review, evidence suggests that treating hearing loss in persons with cognitive impairment can have benefits to communication and quality of life. Because of the quasi- and nonexperimental nature of most of the evidence found in this review, further studies are necessary to understand the effect of treatment in the context of a variable and progressive disease.

Perceptual Organization of Interrupted Speech and Text
Conclusion The observed rate-specific variation in the perception of speech and text may potentially affect the degree to which recognition accuracy in one modality is predictive of the other. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Development of Phonological, Lexical, and Syntactic Abilities in Children With Cochlear Implants Across the Elementary Grades
Conclusions Congenital hearing loss puts children at continued risk of language deficits, especially for phonologically based skills. Two interventions that appear to ameliorate that risk are providing a period of bimodal stimulation and strong literacy instruction. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Dynamic Assessment of Narratives Among Navajo Preschoolers
Conclusion The PEARL is a promising assessment for accurately differentiating Navajo preschool children with LI from those with TD language, particularly with a revised pretest cutoff score. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Changes in English Past Tense Use by Bilingual School-Age Children With and Without Developmental Language Disorder
Discussion Contrary to an earlier report (Jacobson& Schwartz, 2005), the relative greater difficulty with regular and novel verbs was replaced by greater difficulty for irregular past tense, a pattern consistent with monolingual impairment. Age was a contributing factor, particularly for younger children with DLD who produced more stem + ing errors in the novel verb condition. For all children, and particularly for those with DLD, an extended period for irregular past tense learning was evident. The results support a usage-based theory of language acquisition and impairment. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)
