Exploring the Relationship Between Resilience and the Adverse Impact of Stuttering in Children
CONCLUSIONS: These results yield valuable insight into the variability of adverse impact experienced by CWS and offer empirical support for strength-based speech therapy approaches. We discuss the factors that contribute to a child's resilience and provide practical suggestions for how clinicians can incorporate resilience-building strategies into intervention for children experiencing significant adverse impact from their stuttering.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.23582172.PMID:37390495 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00012 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Acoustic analysis in stuttering: a machine-learning study
ConclusionAcoustic analysis based on artificial intelligence (SVM) represents a reliable tool for the objective and automatic recognition of stuttering and its relationship with physiologic ageing. The accuracy of the automatic classification is high and independent of the speech task. Machine-learning analysis would help clinicians in the objective diagnosis and clinical management of stuttering. The digital collection of audio samples here achieved through smartphones would promote the future application of the technique in a telemedicine context (home environment).

Poetry in a Head CT
Sometimes poetry that responds to illness doesn ’t have to be all that dire. By engaging in imaginative wordplay, the poet of “Innumerable” describes a potentially frightful medical story lightheartedly. (Not that he entirely disregards the gravity of his heart condition and its complications—after all, “they had cut into my chest,” h e states sharply in the second line.) “I read what they had/said about the scan of my head,” he goes on, the cadenced feel of the poem’s syntax and rhymes evoking the thrown emboli the imaging has revealed (arising from his just-replaced infected heart valve). The poet's bem...

Bibliometric mapping of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (NIBS) for fluent speech production
DiscussionKeyword analysis indicates a move away from basic research on the motor control in healthy speech, toward clinical applications such as stuttering and aphasia treatment. We also observe a recent trend in cerebellar modulation for clinical treatment. Finally, we discuss how NIBS have established over the years and gained prominence as tools in speech therapy and research, and highlight potential methodological possibilities for future research.

There is more to cluttering than meets the eye: The prevalence of cluttering and association with psychological well-being indices in an undergraduate sample
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The current findings point to the high prevalence of students self-identifying as clutterers, along with a significant link between cluttering and mental distress. Therefore, it is important to increase public awareness of cluttering, its diagnosis and treatment. From the clinical perspective, the elevated levels of somatic complaints, anxiety and depression may represent internalizing psychopathology, associated with more covert rather than overt symptomatology. Such symptom manifestation calls for special attention from the speech-language pathologists providing cluttering therapy, using desig...

A novel non-word speech preparation task to increase stuttering frequency in experimental settings for longitudinal research
CONCLUSIONS: Non-word pairs effectively and consistently elicited balanced proportions of stuttered and fluent trials. This approach can be used to gather longitudinal data to better understand the neurophysiological and behavioral correlates of stuttering.PMID:37331327 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106353 (Source: Journal of Communication Disorders)

Digital games for rehabilitation of speech disorders: A scoping review
CONCLUSION: Digital games can improve patients' speech and motivation in therapy. Although studies showed the positive impact of digital games on speech disorders, personalized speech therapy should be considered in designing these games.PMID:37283880 | PMC:PMC10240099 | DOI:10.1002/hsr2.1308 (Source: Rural Remote Health)
