Iuzzini-Seigel, Jenya; Moorer, Laura; Tamplain, Priscila – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: Children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) evidence a high rate of co-occurring fine and gross motor deficits. This clinical focus article reports a preliminary investigation of characteristics of developmental coordination disorder (DCD), a neurodevelopmental disorder categorized by poor motor proficiency and functional limitations,…

Redmond, Sean M.; Ash, Andrea C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: Relative lengths of the index (2D) and ring (4D) fingers in humans represent a retrospective biomarker of prenatal hormonal exposures. For this reason, the 2D:4D digit ratio can be used to investigate potential hormonal contributions to the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. This study tested potential group differences in 2D:4D…

Decontextualized talk…
