Communicative Activity

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the use of video recordings of interactions involving persons with aphasia and speech-language pathology students enhance students’ competence as conversation partners of people with communicative disabilities. A further aim was to explore the experiences and perspectives from the viewpoint of both participating students and persons with aphasia. Six persons with aphasia met 34 speech and language pathology students in pairs for 10 minutes of conversation. The video recordings were transcribed, in order to identify phenomena influencing the interaction. The students answered a questionnaire about the assignment. A semi-structured group interview with the aphasic individuals was conducted. The analyses of the conversations and the answers to the questionnaire revealed that the students gained important knowledge both on how aphasia may affect and limit aphasic individuals’ communicative activity and participation, and hands-on insights into how different interactional strategies may enhance aphasic individuals’ possibilities in interaction, but also highlighting behaviors that may be less beneficial. The persons with aphasia perceived the activity as important and rewarding. The results demonstrate the benefits of involving patients in health education and the students’ use of video recordings, transcriptions, and subsequent analysis.

Speech And Language Disorders

Young stutterers frequently exhibit concomitant speech and/or language disorders. The co-occurrence of these disorders is, however, not yet well understood. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of "comorbidity" as it relates to the field of speech-language pathology specifically, to discuss comorbidity (coexistence) of stuttering and disordered phonology in young children. Literature on concomitant speech and language disorders in young stutterers is reviewed, with special reference to the prevalence of articulatory/phonological disorders in young stutterers. Future research on the coexistence of two speech and language disorders is encouraged, as well as the consideration of diagnostic treatment and prognostic implications for children who, exhibit both stuttering and disordered phonology as opposed to children who exhibit each disorder in isolation.

The Web

YouTube™ is an online video sharing Web site that is increasingly used in higher education classrooms. In addition presenting content on many diverse topics, YouTube™ rapidly became a rich source of clinical illustrations with relevance for the speech-language pathology classroom. Although professors in health education now take advantage of this resource, no documentation exists regarding students' reactions to the use of YouTube™ in the classroom. The purpose of this study was to survey students' opinions regarding the use of YouTube™ in the classroom. Videos from YouTube™ augmented lecture material in four speech-language pathology classrooms. At the end of the semester, students rated their opinions of the professor’s use of YouTube™ in the classroom and the contribution of the Web site to their classroom experience. All 104 students in the classes surveyed responded. A majority of students reported increased understanding, interest in, and retention of the classroom material due to use of videos on YouTube™.

The article is designed to provide speech-language pathologists with information they can use in designing hands-on augmentative & alternative communication (AAC) partner training programs directed toward speech-language pathology graduate students and instructional staff working in schools. First, the article develops a rationale for the need for such instruction. Next, it details necessary elements of such training programs described in the literature. Then, the authors detail the increases in instructional staff use of partner-augmented input following their implementation of a program based upon one of these training approaches. Last, the authors present the lessons they learned that can be applied to the design and implementation of graduate training opportunities in AAC.

Communication Impairments

Purpose Persons with aphasia can sometimes retain the ability to sing, and several studies have shown the effectiveness of using music to improve speech and language output. The purposes of this article were to discuss the theoretical principles and observed speech-language outcomes of a co-delivered integrative music and language therapy (CIMaLT) methodology for adults with chronic aphasia in a college-based clinic, to describe the interprofessional clinical education model used at the clinic, and to present a case example of CIMaLT implementation. Conclusion CIMaLT is an effective and feasible methodology to implement interprofessional education and practice in a college-based clinic. Additionally, it results in meaningful change in speech and language for some clients with aphasia and apraxia. Additional research is needed to further explore its outcomes for students and persons with aphasia and other neurogenic communication impairments at various stages of recovery. Plain Language Summary Persons with aphasia can sometimes retain the ability to sing, which can help improve speech and language function. Music and speech-language pathology students from our college-based clinic work together to provide treatment for persons with aphasia. This results in improvements in both student learning and client speech and language. This article describes the theory approach, and client and student outcomes of this treatment.

Purpose Malaysia, with its diverse culture and multilingual population, presents a unique and interesting setting for working as a speech-language pathologist (SLP). This article discusses the challenges that SLPs face when providing speech and language therapy in Malaysia and issues that need to be addressed for continued growth of this profession. While providing suggestions to SLPs on methods to overcome the challenges faced and improve their clinical practice, this article also calls upon international collaborations in overcoming these challenges. Conclusions Within the last few decades, the SLP profession in Malaysia has continued to grow and develop as it seeks to offer services on par with countries where the profession is more established. However, there is still much room for improvement as Malaysia continues to overcome current challenges.

Language Pathology

Most research in speech-language pathology relies on observational data collected by human observers or judges. The reliability and generalizability of such measurements are always important considerations. This article reviews classical methods of estimating reliability and proposes that a more powerful approach capable of estimating the dependability of behavioral measurements is available. This approach, based on generalizability theory, provides a practical framework for estimating multiple sources of measurement error in the collection of observational data. Concepts central to generalizability theory are discussed, and a hypothetical data set illustrates the usefulness of generalizability measurements in speech and language research.
