Purpose: Measurement of swallowing muscle mass is important in determining sarcopenic dysphagia. Ultrasound equipment can measure the cross-sectional area of the swallowing muscles, but the inter-instrument reliability is unknown. In this study, the inter-instrument reliability was investigated. Methods: Three ultrasound devices were used to…

Viviers, Mari; Edwards, Louise; Asir, Maya; Hibberd, Judi; Rowe, Rebecca; Phillips, Sophie; Thomas, Victoria; Keesing, Melissa; Sugar, Analou; Allen, Jodi – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has renewed interest in the use of ultrasound (US) amongst dysphagia-trained clinicians working with infants and children. US is a portable, minimally intrusive tool which carries reduced risk of aerosol-generation provoked by other instrumental swallowing assessment tools such as…

Schwarz, Maria; Ward, Elizabeth C.; Ross, Jane; Semciw, Adam – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2018
Background: A delayed or absent swallow reflex is common in dysphagia and can have a significant impact on swallow safety. Recent clinical practice survey data have supported the fact that clinicians continue to use thermo-tactile stimulation (TTS) as a strategy to stimulate key nerve pathways and evoke a swallow reflex for patients with a delayed…

Lancaster, Hope Sparks; Lien, Kari M.; Chow, Jason C.; Frey, Jennifer R.; Scherer, Nancy J.; Kaiser, Ann P. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Objective: The aim of the study was to conduct a meta-analysis of research examining the early speech and language functioning of young children, birth to age 8;11 (years;months), with nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) compared to their peers without NSCL/P. Method: We conducted a random-effects metaregression using 241 effect sizes…

Etter, Nicole Michele; Madhaven, Aarthi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Self-selection and self-avoidance of certain foods is one possible indicator of preclinical (prior to any clinical intervention) dysphagia in healthy older adults. Self-selection of food choices is influenced by changes in a combination of factors, including neuromuscular, sensory, and individual patient characteristics. Changes to these…

Gulley, Ann P.; Smith, Luke A.; Price, Jordan A.; Prickett, Logan C.; Ragland, Matthew F. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2017
Process-Driven Math is a fully audio method of mathematics instruction and assessment that was created at Auburn University at Montgomery, Alabama, to meet the needs of one particular student, Logan. He was blind, mobility impaired, and he could not speak above a whisper. Logan was not able to use traditional low vision tools like braille and…

Cannella-Malone, Helen I.; Sabielny, Linsey M.; Jimenez, Eliseo D.; Miller, Megan M. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2013
Research has demonstrated that people with significant intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities can indicate clear preferences through methodologically rigorous assessments. Once preferred items have been identified, they can be used to reinforce new behaviors, which can assist in the development of a meaningful learning experience.…

Cronin, Anna; McLeod, Sharynne; Verdon, Sarah – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: Children with a cleft palate (± cleft lip; CP±L) can have difficulties communicating and participating in daily life, yet speech-language pathologists typically focus on speech production during routine assessments. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY; World Health…

Olswang, Lesley B.; Feuerstein, Julie L.; Pinder, Gay Lloyd; Dowden, Patricia – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2013
Purpose: This research investigated the use of a dynamic assessment (DA) to identify differences among young children with severe disabilities, which would predict progress in learning behaviors indicating coordinated joint attention (CJA). Method: Six children 10-24 months of age were enrolled in a 16-week treatment for behaviors indicating CJA,…

Bruijn, Sjoerd M.; Millard, Matthew; van Gestel, Leen; Meyns, Pieter; Jonkers, Ilse; Desloovere, Kaat – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Children with unilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP) have several gait impairments, amongst which impaired gait stability may be one. We tested whether a newly developed stability measure (the foot placement estimator, FPE) which does not require long data series, can be used to asses gait stability in typically developing (TD) children as well as…
