We examined whether children with DLD differed in relying on auditory or visual cues compared to typically developing (TD) children during the recognition of words presented with incongruent sound and articulation. The selective attention to the eyes and mouth of a speaker was also tested. We hypothesised that the DLD group would be less aware of visual and auditory speech cues and would tend to look less at the mouth and eyes of the talker's face compared to their TD peers. We recorded children's eye movements with an eye tracker as they looked into the face of a speaking interlocutor. During the task, the speaker's face was articulating a word matched simultaneously with a different word heard. Afterwards, children were asked to choose the word perceived among four drawings. The DLD group showed less accuracy and was more affected by the competitor's words in comparison to the TD group. Moreover, their selective attention was allocated significantly less to the mouth and partially to the eyes of the talker's face in comparison to the control group. AV speech cues are important in speech perception and children with DLD face challenges in processing speech and phonological representations. Interventions that focus on enhancing AV integration through visually salient cues and perceptual learning strategies may be beneficial for improving speech perception outcomes in children with DLD.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147787204","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}

It is a well-known therapeutic option for individuals with non-fluent aphasia. Though MIT can enhance speech and language production, its clinical utility is limited when those engaged in MIT are unable to routinely use its facilitatory techniques independently. Video feedback is a tool that can enhance learning and has shown potential as a mechanism to bolster behavioural interventions. The present study aimed to examine whether MIT paired with direct video feedback could promote independent utilisation of the trained elements that compose MIT, thereby facilitating sustained improvements in speech and language production. One individual with chronic non-fluent aphasia and apraxia of speech participated in 20 90-minute MIT treatment sessions provided over the course of four weeks. The sessions included a video review of the previous session with the participant judging their own productions and the treating clinician providing feedback regarding the participant's use of MIT's facilitatory techniques. The participant was stimulable to the treatment, evidenced by increased intelligibility during the session, but did not use the trained techniques independently and failed to maintain observed gains during assessment periods. Therefore, in the present study, the pairing of MIT and video feedback was not sufficient to promote increased independent use of trained treatment components. Demographic factors such as age and lesions in the prefrontal cortex and insular cortex are likely to have influenced treatment outcomes.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147647229","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}

However, engaging children with ASD in such activities is not straightforward and often fraught with challenges. Yet we know very little about how practitioners cope when the interaction breaks down, for example, due to misunderstandings or failures to engage. This study employs a conversation analytic approach to uncover therapists' intricate practices for managing breakdowns in therapeutic interactions. Over 200 hours of naturally occurring interactions between seven Mandarin-speaking children and their therapists were recorded and analysed. Using Conversation Analysis, we identified and analysed 1062 directive turns issued by therapists and subsequent responses of the children. The findings are in three aspects: 1) A crucial and effective premise for increasing engagement and improving the quality of therapeutic interactions lies in recognising, ascribing and utilising the specific interactive modes of children with ASD, including their repeated utterances and prosodic resources. 2) Therapists' strategies are successful when they flexibly address and adapt the format of directives through tailored verbal iteration and embodied solicitation. 3) The importance of timing underscores the increased opportunities to positively influence turn-taking in children with ASD. It is proposed that practitioners can enhance their understanding of children with ASD by incorporating the profiling of interaction into their assessments and interventions, adapting ways to align with the unique patterns of children with ASD.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"395-422"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143574234","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}

Data from 149 CWS in a longitudinal follow-up of the RESTART randomised trial were analysed. Four difference scores within individual language profiles at preschool age (3;0-6;3 years) were examined: word comprehension minus sentence comprehension quotient (∆WC-SC), word comprehension minus word production quotient (∆WC-WP), word production minus sentence production quotient (∆WP-SP), and sentence comprehension minus sentence production quotient (∆SC-SP). Outcome measures at school age (8-17 years) included Stuttering Severity Instrument scores from trained observers and subjective severity ratings from parents, speech-language pathologists, children, and teachers using Yairi & Ambrose's eight-point scale. Results revealed that children with persistent stuttering (CWS-per) showed imbalanced language profiles at preschool age, particularly with sentence comprehension lagging behind word comprehension. In contrast, children with transient stuttering (CWS-tran) demonstrated balanced profiles. The word-sentence comprehension difference score significantly predicted persistent stuttering and stuttering severity at school age, especially in boys. Treatment type showed no significant effect. In conclusion, an imbalanced preschool language profile, specifically when sentence comprehension lags behind word comprehension, represents a risk factor for persistent stuttering at school age in boys. While this finding has clinical implications, no evidence suggested differential treatment benefits between RESTART-DCM and LP based on the preschool language profile.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"372-393"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145193661","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}

Previous research studies have shown that nasalance scores of hypernasal speakers were lower in backward and higher in forward voice focus. Conversely, some individual speakers had lower nasalance scores in forward voice focus. The present study sought to replicate and further expand these findings. The study investigated how many hypernasal speakers in a small convenience sample could lower their nasalance using voice focus. For 6 hypernasal speakers (4 F, 2 M, ages 5-18) with repaired cleft palate, nasalance scores were recorded for a non-nasal sentence, a nasal sentence, 2 phonetically varied sentences and a short song at baseline, in backward voice focus, in forward voice focus and at a final baseline. For individual speakers, reductions in nasalance of -10% from baseline were considered meaningful. Mean nasalance scores for all stimuli combined changed significantly from 58.2% nasalance (SD 11.3) at baseline to 44.2% (SD 15.3) in backward voice focus, 60.8% (SD 17.6) in forward voice focus, and 53.0% (SD 11.9) at the final baseline. Nasalance scores in the backward voice focus were significantly lower than the initial baseline and forward voice focus conditions. Inspection of individual scores showed that 4 of the 6 participants showed pronounced reductions in nasalance scores of up to -44% in backward and up to -23% in forward voice focus. Further research about the potential effectiveness of this approach for speech therapy should be undertaken.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"307-319"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144975899","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}
