We Have to Talk About Something: Why NOT Talk About the Curriculum? A Guide to Embedding Language Interventions in Curricular Content
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude by discussing the barriers and benefits to adopting this model. We recognize that both speech-language pathologists and teachers may have limited time to implement language intervention within a general education curriculum, but we suggest that the long-term benefits outweigh the barriers.PMID:38619492 | DOI:10.1044/2024_LSHSS-23-00177 (Source: Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools)

The Feel of Speech: Multisystem and Polymodal Somatosensation in Speech Production
CONCLUSIONS: The current understanding of speech somatosensation rests primarily on the two pillars of psychophysics and neuroscience. The confluence of polymodal afferent streams supports the development, maintenance, and refinement of speech production. Receptors are both canonical and noncanonical, with the latter occurring especially in the muscles innervated by the facial nerve. Somatosensory representation in the cortex is disproportionately large and provides for sensory interactions. Speech somatosensory function is robust over the lifespan, with possible declines in advanced aging. The understanding of somatosensa...

Retrieval Practice and Word Learning by Children With Developmental Language Disorder: Does Expanding Retrieval Provide Additional Benefit?
CONCLUSION: We need a greater understanding of how and when short spacing can be helpful to children's word learning, with the recognition that early gains might give a misleading picture of the benefits that short spacing can provide to longer term retention.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25537696.PMID:38592972 | DOI:10.1044/2024_JSLHR-23-00528 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Association of congenital heart disease and neurodevelopmental disorders: an observational and Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionsOur study shows that children with CHD have an increased risk of developing NDDs. Heart conditions currently and severity of current heart conditions were also significantly associated with these NDDs. In the future, we need to try more methods to clarify the causal relationship between CHD and NDDs. (Source: Italian Journal of Pediatrics)

Narrative skills and language comprehension in preschool children with cochlear implants: A comparison with children with Developmental Language Disorder or typical development
CONCLUSIONS: The scarce differences between CI and DLD groups and the absence of an effect of morphosyntactic comprehension on pronoun production may be due to their low production of these elements in the narrative task and/or to a difficulty in managing pronouns in an expressive task regardless of their ability to comprehend them. Potential implications of these results are discussed.PMID:38579544 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2024.106424 (Source: Journal of Communication Disorders)
