Direct linkSouthby, Lucy; Harding, Sam; Davies, Amy; Lane, Hannah; Chandler, Hannah; Wren, Yvonne – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe and examine parent views of speech-language pathology (SLP) for children born with cleft palate delivered via telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom (UK). Method: Parents were asked whether they found this method of delivery "very effective," "somewhat…

Bates, Amanda; Forrester-Jones, Rachel; McCarthy, Michelle – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2020
Background: Research into hospital treatment and care of children with intellectual disabilities is extremely limited, but available literature points to difficulties. Some children have a co-occurring condition alongside an intellectual disability which requires ongoing treatment, such as a cleft lip/palate. To date, their experiences remain…

Mukherjee, Sharmila B.; Neelam; Kapoor, Seema; Sharma, Suvasini – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The Autism Dysmorphology Measure is designed for non-expert clinicians. It uses an algorithm to assess 12 body regions and categorizes Autism on the number of dysmorphic regions identified; Essential ([less than or equal to] 3), Equivocal (4-5) or Complex ([greater than or equal to] 6). We evaluated 200 Indian children with Autism (mean age…

Baigorri, Miriam; Crowley, Catherine J.; Sommer, Chelsea L.; Baquero, Jessica; Moya-Galé, Gemma – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2021
This study aimed to examine self-efficacy as graduate students gained clinical skills during an intensive international cleft lip and palate (CLP) clinical practicum. A total of 17 graduate students in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program at Teachers College (TC), Columbia University, participated in a CLP clinical practicum for 5 days…

Kotlarek, Katelyn J.; Krueger, Breanna I. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: Cleft palate is one of the most common birth defects in the United States. Most of these children receive speech therapy by preschool and school-based clinicians. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive tutorial for speech-language pathology assistants (SLPAs) regarding treatment techniques and principles for children…

Chelsea; Frank-Crawford, Michelle A.; Moore Channell, Marie; Pierpont, Elizabeth I.; Feingold, Eleanor; Maslen, Cheryl L.; Reeves, Roger H.; Sherman, Stephanie L. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2018
The cause of the high degree of variability in cognition and behavior among individuals with Down syndrome (DS) is unknown. We hypothesized that birth defects requiring surgery in the first years of life (congenital heart defects and gastrointestinal defects) might affect an individual's level of function. We used data from the first 234…

Kelso Damond, Grace – Infants and Young Children, 2022
Congenital heart disease (CHD), the result of structural changes to the heart present at birth, is the most common congenital birth condition. As survival rates for infants with complex CHD have increased in recent years, risk for neurodevelopmental challenges has also increased. Early referral to developmentally supportive care is recommended as…

Sayers, Edna Edith – Sign Language Studies, 2022
Eng and Chang Bunker (1811--1874) were conjoined twins of Chinese ethnicity born in Siam (today, Thailand). Before the Civil War, they toured the United States to exhibit themselves as a "human curiosity," a wonder of nature, their conjoined state documented by local doctors at each stop on their tours, and their exhibition touted as…

Engebretsen, Maria Hagen; Kildahl, Arvid Nikolai; Hoy, Iver Harald; Bakken, Trine Lise – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Background: People with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (DS) are assumed to be especially vulnerable to developing mental illness such as psychosis. Aim: The study was established to contribute to knowledge about metyrosine medication in patients with 22q11.2 DS and psychosis. Methods: A case study was established including a woman with intellectual…

McConnell, Sarah E. A.; Mooney, Christopher J. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
Knowledge of embryology is foundational for understanding normal anatomy and birth defects, yet, embryology is a notoriously difficult subject for medical students. Embryonic lateral folding in particular is one of the most challenging concepts in embryology. Highly effective teaching methods that promote active engagement with dynamic,…

Ha, Oh-Ryeong; Cashon, Cara H.; Holt, Nicholas A.; Mervis, Carolyn B. – Developmental Science, 2020
Associative word learning, i.e., associating a word with an object, is an important building block of early word learning for TD infants. This study investigated the development of word-I object associations by TD infants and infants and toddlers with Williams syndrome (WS), a rare genetic disorder associated with delayed language and cognitive…

D'Souza, Dean; D'Souza, Hana; Jones, Emily J. H.; Karmiloff-Smith, Annette – Developmental Science, 2020
Typically developing (TD) infants adapt to the social world in part by shifting the focus of their processing resources to the relevant aspects of a visual scene. Any impairment in visual orienting may therefore constrain learning and development in domains such as language. However, although something is known about visual orienting in infants at…

Sweeney, Triona; Hegarty, Fran; Powell, Katie; Deasy, Liane; Regan, Myra O'; Sell, Debbie – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: A total of 68% of pre-school children with cleft palate have speech problems requiring speech therapy. There is a lack of access to regular targeted therapy. Parent training leads to positive outcomes in early communication skills in cleft palate and non-cleft speech disorders. Connected health has been used to address inadequate…

Sarah Nelson Potter; Danielle Harvey; Audra Sterling; Leonard Abbeduto – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Past research shows that parentally responsive behavior toward the child positively influences language development in both neurotypical children and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including those with fragile X syndrome (FXS); however, most studies have focused exclusively on the mother--child relationship.…

Eshghi, Marziye; Vallino, Linda D.; Baylis, Adriane L.; Preisser, John S.; Zajac, David J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The objective was to determine velopharyngeal (VP) status of stop consonants and vowels produced by young children with repaired cleft palate (CP) and typically developing (TD) children from 12 to 18 months of age. Method: Nasal ram pressure (NRP) was monitored in 9 children (5 boys, 4 girls) with repaired CP with or without cleft lip and…
