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)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndividuals with multiple disabilities are among the most challenging to serve and AAC teams often lack direction in determining effective interventions. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize the research evidence on AAC interventions for individuals with complex communication needs and simultaneous motor, and visual impairments as part of their multiple disabilities; to consider implications for practice; and to determine gaps and directions for future research.

The Impact of Verb Inflectional Distance on Morphological Awareness in Arabic Diglossia: Insights From a Longitudinal Study (Kindergarten to Grade 3)
CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate the substantial impact of verb inflectional distance on morphological awareness development before and during the initial process of learning to read. Results are discussed within the context of linguistic distance and the development of metalinguistic processing skills with implications for assessment and intervention.PMID:38579180 | DOI:10.1044/2024_JSLHR-23-00456 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Muscle Tension Dysphagia: An Expanded Investigation of Clinical Presentations and Swallowing Kinematics
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals demonstrated abnormalities in the clinical evaluation of the areas of palpation and reported perilaryngeal discomfort and symptoms of laryngeal hyperresponsiveness, with a negative impact on their quality of life across various PROs. Atypical hyoid and/or hyolaryngeal excursion during swallowing was rare when compared to available normative reference values. The clinical evaluation of MTDg may be enhanced by including components related to muscle tension and laryngeal hyperresponsiveness in order to differentiate MTDg from idiopathic functional dysphagia and lead the patient to the otolaryngology/s...

Speech-Language Outcomes in the COVID-19 Milieu for Multilingual Jamaican Preschoolers and Considerations for Telepractice Assessments
CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this investigation serve to characterize the communicative participation and functional speech intelligibility of TD bilingual Jamaican preschoolers and those with fSSDs in the COVID-19 milieu. By extension, the results comparing data from preschoolers collected during the pandemic to an existing corpus of baseline data from a different group of preschoolers provide critical insights about multilingual children's speech-language outcomes in the context of acutely changing environmental circumstances.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25461505.PMID:38573244 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJS...

Quantifying Dosage in Self-Managed Speech-Language Therapy: Exploring Components of Cumulative Intervention Intensity in a Real-World Mobile Health Data Set
CONCLUSIONS: The calculation of CII may provide both users and clinicians with a fuller picture of at-home, self-managed practice habits than looking at any one dosage component alone. The study represents a first step toward more comprehensive and theoretically grounded dose reporting for self-managed SLT.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25511191.PMID:38573233 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJSLP-23-00285 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Task-related differences in the gesture production of young autistic children
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Our findings indicate elicitation tasks differentially elicit type and rate of gesture for young autistic children. To assess the gesture production of young autistic children, a structured task designed to elicit child requests will probe the developmental sophistication of the child's gesture repertoire, eliciting both the most gestures and the most developmentally advanced gestures.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject Because of the importance of gesture in early communication for autistic and typically developing children, various tasks have been used to assess it. Ho...

Availability of resources for paediatric hearing care in a South African province
CONCLUSION: Results revealed a limited and uneven distribution of resources, which negatively impacted the provision of EHDI. Even distribution of healthcare resources and further research aimed at strengthening hearing health services is recommended as these could potentially improve equitable access to EHDI and the overall quality of healthcare provided.Contribution: This study highlights the need for even distribution of resources and strengthening of health systems, especially in the dawn of the National Health Insurance.PMID:38572860 | DOI:10.4102/phcfm.v16i1.3952 (Source: Primary Care)
