Applying item-response theory to the development of a screening adaptation of the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation-2
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), 2017-03-13)PURPOSE: Item Response Theory (IRT) is a psychometric approach to measurement that uses latent trait abilities (e.g., speech sound production skills) to model performance on individual items that vary by difficulty and ... -
Interactive book reading to accelerate word learning in bilingual children with developmental language disorder: A preliminary intervention approach
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), 2017-12-21)This article will describe a bilingual preliminary treatment method currently being utilized in a clinical research study to teach vocabulary to bilingual (Spanish/English) preschool aged (four to six year-old) children ... -
Extension of School Augmentative and Alternative Communication Services to Home: A National Survey
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)This study examined support parents were given by school personnel after their school-aged child received a speech-generating device (SGD) to communicate. The study investigated whether parents received support and if so, ... -
Word Learning in Children with Specific Language Impairment: Influence of Child and Word Characteristics
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)Children with specific language impairment (SLI) have significantly poorer word learning ability than their same-age peers. It is not clear exactly where in the process of learning a new word these children struggle, but ... -
Early Predictors of Later Language Ability in Children with Fragile X Syndrome
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)The predictive ability of early language skills on later expressive language was examined in children with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) and children with FXS with co-morbid autism. Children were visited in their homes and ... -
Augmentative and Alternative Communication Assessment Process in the Schools: A National Survey
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)This study assessed the procedures and methods of AAC assessments in the school setting and roles of speech-language pathologists in this process. A survey entitled “AAC Assessment Procedures in the Schools: A National ... -
Spatially separating language masker from target results in spatial and linguistic masking release
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016-11)Several studies demonstrate that in complex auditory scenes, speech recognition is improved when the competing background and target speech differ linguistically. However, such studies typically utilize spatially co-located ... -
Modeling of oropharyngeal articulatory adaptation to compensate for the acoustic effects of nasalization
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016)Hypernasality is one of the most detrimental speech disturbances that lead to declines of speech intelligibility. Velopharyngeal inadequacy, which is associated with anatomic defects such as cleft palate or neuromuscular ... -
Predicting Speech Intelligibility Decline in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Based on the Deterioration of Individual Speech Subsystems
(Public Library of Science, 2016-05-05)Purpose: To determine the mechanisms of speech intelligibility impairment due to neurologic impairments, intelligibility decline was modeled as a function of co-occurring changes in the articulatory, resonatory, phonatory, ... -
Spatially separating language masker from target results in spatial and linguistic masking release
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016-12-01)Several studies demonstrate that in complex auditory scenes, speech recognition is improved when the competing background and target speech differ linguistically. However, such studies typically utilize spatially co-located ... -
Implementing evidence-based practice: Selecting treatment words to boost phonological learning
(2017-08-04)PURPOSE. Word selection has typically been thought of as an inactive ingredient in phonological treatment, but emerging evidence suggests that word selection is an active ingredient that can impact phonological learning. ... -
The complexity approach to phonological treatment: How to select treatment targets (Supplemental materials)
(2017-08-03)PURPOSE. There are a number of evidence-based treatments for preschool children with phonological disorders (Baker & McLeod, 2011). However, a recent survey by Brumbaugh and Smit (2013) suggests that speech-language ... -
Hearing Loss in Perinatally Human Immunodeficiency Virus- Infected and Human Immunodeficiency Virus -Exposed but Uninfected Children and Adolescents
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2012-08)Background Little is known about hearing loss in children with HIV infection (HIV+). We examined the prevalence of hearing loss in perinatally HIV+ and HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) children, compared these to the ... -
Evaluation of Risk for Late Language Emergence after In Utero Antiretroviral Drug Exposure in HIV-exposed Uninfected Infants
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2013-10)BACKGROUND Combination antiretroviral (cARV) regimens are recommended for pregnant women with HIV to prevent perinatal HIV transmission. Safety is a concern for infants who were HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU), particularly ... -
Cutaneous stimulation of the digits and lips evokes responses with different adaptation patterns in primary somatosensory cortex
(Elsevier, 2010-10-01)Neuromagnetic evoked fields were recorded to compare the adaptation of the primary somatosensory cortex (SI) response to tactile stimuli delivered to the glabrous skin at the fingertips of the first three digits (condition ... -
Meconium Atazanavir Concentrations and Early Language Outcomes in HIV-Exposed, Uninfected Infants with Prenatal Atazanavir Exposure
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2015-06-01)OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether prenatal atazanavir (ATV) exposure, assessed by meconium antiretroviral quantification, predicts early child language outcomes. Prenatal ATV exposure previously was associated with poorer ... -
Teaching requesting and rejecting sequences: An important step in early communication programming
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-09-01)Question: Can four children with severe developmental disabilities learn to produce a sequence of AAC responses aimed at rejecting one object and subsequently requesting another object in highly controlled settings? -
