TL;DR: Results indicated that stuttering frequency was significantly reduced under all altered auditory conditions at high speech rates relative to the NAF condition, and support the notion that a slowed rate of speech is not necessary for fluency enhancement under conditions of altered auditory feedback.

TL;DR: Assessments of contact patterns used by articulation-impaired children suggests that they may produce more atypical articulatory contacts than are noted perceptually, which could assist in identifying sounds that might soon emerge and be more responsive to therapy.

TL;DR: The reported results indicate that visual feedback is a viable alternative treatment for those who have been unable to develop correct sound production through traditional methods.

TL;DR: Results show that subjects reduced their disfluencies to below 3% stuttered syllables and maintained those changes at the 6 and 12 month follow-up.

TL;DR: This study attempted to describe this bias using 4 speech-delayed children with normal hearing and no significant language delay and indicated that mothers were significantly better than all other listeners (including fathers) at identifying the words being spoken.

TL;DR: The results suggest that deficits in emotional decoding may appear at a relatively late stage in the developmental course of mental disorder, or may only be associated with more severe levels of schizophrenia-spectrum symptomatology.

TL;DR: The results indicate that for specific recording conditions, the latencies of middle latency responses differ significantly between children with LD and a normal group of children.

TL;DR: Results indicated that SLI children exhibited more total errors than their chronological peers, but not more than their language level peers.

TL;DR: Although previous studies have found significantly more phonetic errors in VOT production for Broca's aphasics, this study did not and both types of aphasic patients had somewhat less overall average difference in Vot between voiced and voiceless consonant pairs than normal speakers.

TL;DR: This paper is to provide an update and "recalibration" of what the authors currently know to be the salient behaviors of beginning stuttering, and how specific features of these behaviors distinguish stuttering children form their normally disfluent counterparts.

TL;DR: The nature of attitudes, attitudinal domains meriting consideration throughout the therapy process, and assessment issues are explored and a series of studies that examined communication attitudes and profiles of adults are examined.

TL;DR: This study investigated the effects of listener and topic familiarity on procedural and narrative discourse variables and found that topic familiarity influenced discourse production in both procedural discourse and story retell situations.

TL;DR: Evidence that mothers and fathers may differ in their interactions with children, in general, and children who stutter, in particular, will be presented and a case will be made for including both mothers and dads as partners in the treatment of children whoStutter.

TL;DR: There were no significant differences in the performances of the R HD group as compared to the normal controls, which suggested that the RHD group did not exhibit an inference impairment on this type of linguistic task.

TL;DR: A removable speech appliance that positions the tongue to produce the /r/ phoneme is developed and results indicate that the appliance was successful with a large group of clients.

TL;DR: This paper considers the specification, application, and interpretation of a logistic regression model for the investigation of relationships between binary response data and a collection of explanatory variables.

TL;DR: The nasality of 19 subjects with upper motor neuron (UMN) damage following cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and 19 control subjects matched for age and sex was investigated using both perceptual judgements of nasality and a modified version of the nasal accelerometric procedure described by Horii (1980).

TL;DR: Fluency disorders in three types of stuttering syndromes with etiological considerations are presented and a therapy process for fluency disordered adolescents is suggested which outlines four stages with goals and objectives for each stage.

TL;DR: The intent of this article is to show how an analysis of clinical information systematically collected over a period of time will help a clinician make accurate decisions about the treatment of children who stutter.
