Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe changes in speech intelligibility and interrater and intrarater reliability of naive listeners' ratings of words produced by young children diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) over a period of motor-based intervention (dynamic temporal and tactile cueing [DTTC]). Method: A total of 120…

Efficient recognition of geometric shapes is an important aspect of proficiency in geometry. Building theoretically on the cultural-historical approach enriched by the physiology of activity, we investigate theoretical perception in geometry--the ability to recognize conceptual geometric aspects of visual figures. Aiming to understand the…

During a 6-week period, students in Grades 1-5 participated in 15 sensory activities that focused on processing and integration motor skills. The intervention group participated in 20 minutes of the "Minds in Motion" maze (10 minutes in the morning and afternoon) while the control group continued with normal school activities. Pre and…

Purpose: Speech motor skill is refined over the course of practice, which is commonly reflected by increased accuracy and consistency. This research examined the relationship between auditory-perceptual ratings of word accuracy and measures of speech motor timing and variability at pre- and posttreatment in children with childhood apraxia of…
