JOURNAL ARTICLE
Amy Connery, Caitríona Ní Shé
PURPOSE: Due to the scope of practice of speech-language pathology (SLP) expanding considerably in recent times, there is reduced emphasis on certain communication conditions within the curricula of SLP university programs. Stuttering and cluttering are neglected components of such curricula, despite the complex clinical skill set required to work with these client groups. Evaluation of the content and quality of modules on stuttering and cluttering is warranted to ensure that SLP students are graduating with adequate competence and confidence for supporting people with these conditions...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Karen Hux, Kelly Knollman-Porter, Sarah E Wallace, Andrew Bevelhimer, Yutika Singh
PURPOSE: Text-to-speech (TTS) technology potentially benefits people with aphasia by presenting content through two modalities simultaneously; however, for this to help, eye fixations must synchronize with the auditory rendition of words. Researchers have yet to explore how often and to what extent people with aphasia achieve modality synchronization. This retrospective analysis examined the percent of words people with aphasia see and hear concurrently when reading passages presented via TTS technology...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Kathryn J Greenslade, Elise Bogart, Joanna Gyory, Serena Jaskolka, Amy E Ramage
PURPOSE: Narration within a story grammar framework requires speakers to organize characters and events logically. Despite abundant research characterizing narrative deficits following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the evolution of narrative story grammar over the first 2 years post-TBI has rarely been explored. This study analyzed story grammar in complex narratives of adults with and without severe TBI to (a) examine between-group differences and (b) investigate longitudinal changes over the first 2 years post-TBI...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Hyejin Park, Jessica Obermeyer, Eun Jin Paek, Madeline Zurbrugg
PURPOSE: Verb tense production is known to be impaired in people with nonfluent aphasia. Selective past tense impairment in this population has been reported, but results are inconsistent and lacking at the discourse level. In addition, language production can be affected by discourse elicitation tasks depending on the cognitive linguistic demands and instructions unique to each task. There is limited evidence regarding whether verb tense production in people with nonfluent aphasia is impacted by discourse task demands...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Xue Bao, Rouzana Komesidou, Tiffany P Hogan
PURPOSE: This review aims to comprehensively summarize, compare, and evaluate screeners used to identify risk for developmental language disorder (DLD), a common learning disability that is underidentified. Screening for DLD is a cost-effective way to identify children in need of further assessment and, in turn, provides much needed supports. METHOD: We identified 15 commercially available English language DLD screeners in North America. We then characterized each screener on 27 aspects in three domains, including (a) accessibility information (acronym, subtest, website, cost, materials included, publish year, examiner qualification, age range, administration time, and administration format), (b) usability features (dialect compatibility, progress monitoring function, actionable follow-up instruction, group assessment capability, and online administration availability), and (c) technical standards (the availability of a technical manual, conceptual definition, the sample size used in classification accuracy calculation, sample distribution, year of sample collection, outcome measure, sample base rate, cutoff score, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value)...

#32
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Anastasia M Raymer, Rachel K Johnson
PURPOSE: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a neuromodulation tool to amplify neural excitability and enhance outcomes associated with speech-language therapy (SLT). Stimulation currents to the left and right hemispheres vary in applying anodal (excitatory), cathodal (inhibitory), or bihemispheric signals. Several systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) have summarized the large literature examining tDCS for aphasia rehabilitation. The purpose of this project was to appraise the quality of SRs and MAs of tDCS for aphasia and examine the weight of the evidence for language outcomes in individuals with aphasia beyond SLT alone...
