Towards a New Functional Anatomy of Language: A Proposal for a Special Issue of Cognition, circa 2001
Conclusions   Michael UllmanGeorgetown University The contribution of brain memory circuits to language Our use of language depends upon two capacities: a mental lexicon of memorized words, and a mental grammar of rules that underlie the sequential and hierarchical composition of lexical forms into predictably structured larger words, phrases, and sentences.   The Declarative/Procedural model posits that the lexicon/grammar distinction in language is tied to the distinction between two well-studied brain memory systems.  On this view, the memorization and use of at least si...

The Therapeutic Potential of Voice Technology
John Halamka, M.D., president, Mayo Clinic Platform, and Paul Cerrato, senior research analyst and communications specialist, Mayo Clinic Platform, wrote this article.The human voice is capable of extraordinary feats of genius and everyday acts of kindness. It can recite Shakespearean sonnets, teach our children moral values, stir audiences with a dramatic performance, and much more. But few of us ever imagined it capable of assisting in the diagnosis of disease. That ’s about the change, as evidenced by several innovative projects in voice technology.With the right digital tools, it is now possible t...

10 Ways Children With Language Disorders Can Maintain Both Physical Distance and Social Connection
Social distancing—or more accurately, physical distancing—is now our way of life. As difficult as it is, it’s our new normal, at least for the short term.  Even with physical distance, we find ways to connect socially. We call or use video chats to stay in touch with friends and family, email jokes or stories, and post on social media. Other community activities continue virtually: worship services, fitness classes, concerts, and more. We discover ways to maintain social distance without losing social connections. Children with language disorders, however, find social interactions challenging in the best of times. ...

ASHA Voices: Language and Identity —Shifting Away from a Deficit Perspective on African American English
In our second of two episodes in honor of Black History Month, we’re addressing African American English, or AAE. AAE is a language variation. Maybe you’ve heard it called a dialect. It sounds different from Mainstream American English. It has its own rules and grammar, and it emerged from a long language tradition. But when AAE is not recognized, it can be misdiagnosed as a language disorder. Read more from our guests: Megan-Brette Hamilton: An Informed Lens on African American English Dionna Latimer Hearn: Don’t Get It Twisted – Hear My Words We explore the link between identity and language. “I ...

A Dozen Ways to Use Muffin Tins in Sessions
Looking for new activities? Limited space? No time to prep? No problem. Just grab a muffin tin and gather small objects or print little images to add 12 simple activities to sessions. A muffin tin serves multiple purposes for a variety of skill levels and ages on your caseload. I use muffin-tin activities to target articulation, phonology, expressive and receptive language, vocabulary, and more. Try one or more of these activities : Focused stimulation. Use small objects or pictures with targeted phonemes. Have the child identify the targeted object/photo from the field of 12 after producing the target word. Production pr...

Using Books to Start the Conversation About Big Feelings in Young Students
Being a small child with big feelings is hard. The glow of holidays and winter break has faded and it’s a long time until summer. For my 4- to 6-year-olds, this time of year often brings on those big feelings. I can easily find tons of age-appropriate resources covering emotions like happy, sad, and angry. But what about creating an environment to discuss disappointment? Anxiety? Guilt? We live in a time in which these more complex feelings can come out earlier, last longer, and more intensely affect young developing minds. I’ve discovered several approaches to work on processing these types of feelings with my younges...

Spotlight on Special Interest Group 5, Craniofacial and Velopharyngeal Disorders
Peer support. Engaging exchanges on velopharyngeal surgery. Access to timely resources. SIG 5 offers all that and more. What would you say to encourage other colleagues to join SIG 5? Angela Dixon: For much of my career I was the only SLP in my state who specialized in cleft/craniofacial disorders. That was a lot of pressure and can be very isolating. It was difficult to not have an easy team of SLPs to learn from, bounce ideas off, etc. Joining SIG 5 provided that for me. I met a group of SLPs who had passions similar to mine, and SIG 5 allowed me an opportunity to network, learn, grow, and eventually even make friends. M...
