It was also around this time that Kitajima Tanabe& Isshiki (1979) were refining parameters of cricothyroid approximation surgery on excised human larynges to have a surgical option for trans women seeking to elevate their vocal pitch. Today voice and communication interventions are guided by higher-quality empirical research on effectiveness, professional standards informed bymulti-disciplinary and international collaborations of researchers and practitioners, and people who are in the gender-expansive community (e.g., transgender, non-binary, genderqueer). Voice specialists supporting well-being directly (i.e., balancing communication-based stressors and resources) is an approach informed by clients and colleagues with lived experience in the gender expanse and the minority stress model from the mental health field. This is more affirming than an indirect approach focused on achieving congruence (i.e., changing behaviors to align with sociocultural normative practices) that potentially builds a stressor of ongoing concealment (Azul et al 2022). Remarkable exponential progress continues as we navigate new – and some longstanding – sociopolitical challenges. The purpose of this issue of Seminars in Speech and Language is to feature the understandings and practices of today as a clear benchmark in the story of progress. The issue begins with a paper by linguists Hope and Lilley investigating how speech is used in social indexing (i.e., signaling belonging in social groups) for gender. This study fills scientifically and socially important gaps in the speech perception literature by including synthetic stimuli that are outside of binary gender norms and a group of gender-expansive listeners. The findings have implications for clinical use of auditory perception in gender-affirming care, as well as for a multiply marginalized group: non-binary people who use speech generating devices. Overall, the direction of this work promises to improve and expand how speech-language pathologists serve non-binary people. The next two articles improve our ability to inform and empower clients to make their own decisions in a biopsychosocial approach, a central tenant of the person-centered care model that much of healthcare is striving toward today (Grover et al 2022). People need providers who explain information and support their chosen path to well-being. Voice surgery may be a part of that path, so Dwyer et al have written about the current surgical options for voice in the","PeriodicalId":48772,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Speech and Language","volume":"44 2","pages":"57-60"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9089477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants of the 3-hour webinar included nine dyads of parents and youths across the United States. Topics on voice modification and mental health strategies were presented. Only parents completed the pre- and post-surveys to measure confidence in their knowledge to support their youth's voice and mental health needs.

The Kruskal-Wallis <i>H</i>-test results revealed that the median responses to the pre and post voice survey did not show a statistically significant change (<i>H</i> = 8.0, <i>p</i> = 0.342). Similarly, the mental health surveys did not reach significance (<i>H</i> = 8.0, <i>p</i> = 0.433).

Swallowing impairment and cognitive deficits can often co-occur. This study aims to investigate the relationship between cognitive impairment and the recovery of dysphagia in patients attending specific rehabilitation. Patients admitted to intensive rehabilitation units were administered the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and Montreal Cognitive Screening Test (MoCA); when screening positive for dysphagia, they entered a rehabilitation program. Their FOIS score at discharge was the primary outcome measure. In the multivariate analysis, younger age (B = - 0.077, <i>p</i> = 0.017), higher MoCA (B = 0.191, <i>p</i> = 0.002), and higher FOIS (B = 1.251, <i>p</i> = 0.032) at admission were associated with higher FOIS at discharge. When executive function (EF) replaced the MoCA total score in the model, younger age (B = - 0.134, <i>p</i> = 0.001), higher admission EF (B = 1.451, <i>p</i> < 0.001), and FOIS (B = 1.348, <i>p</i> = 0.035) were associated with higher FOIS at discharge. Our results confirm the hypothesis that a better cognitive profile upon admission is associated with a higher probability of dysphagia recovery at discharge.

Twenty-four students in the communication sciences and disorders department from a university were recruited. Data were collected on the perceptions of working with older adults, knowledge of feeding and swallowing, and the evaluation of the program. Participants reported feeling less fearful of assisting older adults with feeding issues and appeared to acquire a higher level of knowledge in certain areas post-training. Analysis of the evaluation forms revealed that students were positive about their experience. The findings provide additional support that perceptions become more favorable following early exposure to older adults through participation in service-learning experiences.

Despite the potential for significant impact on communication and swallowing, speech-language pathologists are not routinely involved in the care teams of children diagnosed with cancer. The goal of this investigation was to enhance the understanding of the speech-language pathology services rendered and caregivers' perspectives on the current needs of children and adolescents who have undergone cancer treatment. Caregiver's perspectives offer unique insights and are beneficial when utilizing a person- and family-centered care framework. Eleven caregivers of children treated for cancer completed an online survey, and an additional three caregivers participated in a semistructured interview. Results provided insight into caregivers' perspectives regarding speech-language pathology-related needs and services. Survey results and thematic analysis of the semistructured interviews indicated the need for involvement of speech-language pathology services during and after cancer treatment. Cancer diagnoses and oncological treatment occur during key developmental periods, and may negatively impact children's speech, language, and swallowing abilities.
