Part I extension SDCS differentiate motor from delay and among sub-types of disorders. II Madison Assessment Protocol (MSAP), an ∼ 2-hour battery 25 measures that includes 15 tests tasks. III Competence, Precision, Stability Analytics (CPSA) framework, current set 90 perceptual- acoustic-based indices speech, prosody, voice used...
In this article, the authors address hypothesis that severe and persistent speech disorder reported in persons with galactosemia meets contemporary diagnostic criteria for childhood apraxia of (CAS). A positive finding CAS rare metabolic has potential to impact treatment inform explanatory perspectives on neurological, neurodevelopmental, idiopathic contexts.Thirty-three youth significant prior or sound were assessed their homes 17 states. Participants completed a protocol yielding...
Purpose To test the hypothesis that children with classic galactosemia and speech disorders are at risk for co-occurring strength coordination disorders. Method This is a case-control study of 32 (66% male) neurologic 130 controls (50% ages 4-16 years. Speech was assessed using Percentage Consonants Correct (PCC) metric from responses to Goldman-Fristoe Test Articulation-2 5-min recorded sample, hand tongue Iowa Oral Performance Instrument, Movement Assessment Battery Children. The number...
Purpose: Down syndrome (DS) is associated with lifelong difficulties verbal communication, beginning in infancy when vocalizations are sparse and first words emerge late. Because DS diagnosed at or even before birth, these can be anticipated, yet there have been limited developments of systematic, proactive interventions. The purpose the pilot study described here was to investigate feasibility potential benefits such an intervention toward a fully powered clinical trial. Method: We piloted...

To clarify, we conducted a study and developmental outcomes in 206 children DG (case patients) 144 controls, all whom were 6 to 12 years old.We recruited case patients from states where NBS; unaffected siblings served as...
Precision medicine is an emerging approach to managing disease by taking into consideration individual's genetic and environmental profile toward two avenues improved outcomes: prevention personalized treatments. This framework largely geared conditions conventionally falling the field of medical genetics. Here, we show that same improving outcomes can be applied in behavior genomics, specifically disorders spoken language. Babble Boot Camp (BBC) first comprehensive program designed...

The SDCS uses perceptual and acoustic data reduction methods obtain information on speaker's speech, prosody, voice. present provides reliability estimates two (narrow phonetic transcription; prosody-voice coding) analysis describe classify competence, precision, stability. samples from 10 speakers, five with significant motor...
Purpose The purpose of this cross-sectional investigation was to expand the comparative database pediatric tongue strength for children and adolescents with typical development, ages 3-17 years, compare among speech sound delay/disorders (SD), motor disorders (MSDs). Method Tongue measured using Iowa Oral Performance Instrument in a total 286 adolescents, 228 16 SD, 42 MSDs, including classic galactosemia, known risk factor MSD ( n = 33) idiopathic 9). Results For all groups, increased...
<ns4:p><ns4:bold>Background:</ns4:bold> Speech and language therapy is typically initiated reactively after a child shows delays. Infants with classic galactosemia (CG), metabolic disease known high risk for both speech disorders, hold the keys towards evaluating whether preventive treatment effective when risks are at birth.

Purpose Babble Boot Camp (BBC) is a package of proactive activities and routines designed to prevent speech language disorders in infants at predictable risk. It implemented via parent training currently undergoing clinical trial children with newborn diagnosis classic galactosemia (CG), metabolic disease high risk disorders. The purpose this study provide updates previous pilot present the first set post-intervention results. Method intervention data collection occurred during child ages <...
The authors examined and compared the development of oral manual force control in preschool-aged children. In all, 50 typically developing children (aged 3-5 years) performed maximal strength tasks submaximal visually guided using tongue elevation, power, precision grips. Dependent measures included strength, rate rise, initial overshoot, variability, release. age- performance-related analyses. Results revealed similar changes for tongue, fingers, hands across There were no significant rise...

Trumpet players produce and manipulate sound through their instrument by articulating the lips, cheeks, tongue to create a proper airflow. These sustained muscle contractions may result in increased facial lingual strength endurance. The purpose of this study was determine if adult trumpet who practice at least 6 hrs/wk differed from non-trumpet-playing controls endurance tongue. Methods: This case-control involved 16 players, healthy balanced for age sex, 1 player 25 years post-Bell’s...
Precision medicine is an emerging intervention paradigm that leverages knowledge of risk factors such as genotypes, lifestyle, and environment toward proactive personalized interventions. Regarding genetic factors, examples interventions informed by the field medical genomics are pharmacological tailored to individual's genotype anticipatory guidance for children whose hearing impairment predicted be progressive. Here, we show how principles precision insights from behavior have relevance...
Objective: Physical trauma is the third leading cause of facial nerve damage, which can disrupt communication, social interaction and emotional expression. The objective this report was to investigate effects muscle exercise as a stand-alone treatment in young adult with unilateral damage 13-years post-onset.
