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...

Written Language Practice, Self-Efficacy, and Beliefs: A Survey of Speech-Language Pathologists Working With School-Aged Clients
CONCLUSIONS: School-based and non-school-based SLPs report different levels of clinical time devoted to written language, self-efficacy in addressing written language, and beliefs about their roles in addressing written language. There is a need to investigate the reasons for these differences and the potential impact of preservice and in-service training in ameliorating them.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25511047.PMID:38573159 | DOI:10.1044/2024_LSHSS-23-00029 (Source: Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools)

Learning about Literacy: Speech-Language Pathologists' Pre-Service and In-Service Training Experiences in the United States
Semin Speech Lang. 2024 Apr 4. doi: 10.1055/s-0044-1785541. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo better understand speech-language pathologists' (SLPs') pre-service and in-service training experiences in literacy and the relationship between their literacy training experiences and current practice, self-efficacy, and beliefs regarding their roles in literacy assessment and treatment, a web-based survey of SLPs was conducted (n = 444). Responses revealed that 60% of respondents completed at least one literacy course in their graduate programs: 55% took courses that embedded content in literacy assessment or treatment, and 23% t...
