Method: This scoping review article followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. The PICO (population, intervention, comparison, outcome) framework was used to outline the eligibility criteria. Web of Science, PsycInfo, MEDLINE, and PubMed were searched on November 17, 2025. Eligible studies were charted according to the population; the comparison (no device vs. device, device vs. device); the measure used to assess listening, learning, or well-being; the findings of the study; and the effect of the remote microphone on children's listening, learning, or well-being. Results: A total of 686 papers were returned in the search after removing duplicates. Of these, 66 papers met the criteria to be included in the review. Children with hearing loss was the most studied population, and listening was the most studied outcome. Conclusions: Remote microphones tend to provide benefit to classroom listening in all populations investigated, so they should be recommended in the classroom for children who may be struggling to listen. They can also provide learning and well-being benefits to some populations, although this was less studied and stigma could be an issue. Remote microphones were only beneficial when the person wearing the microphone was speaking. More research is needed on using remote microphones where there are multiple speakers and in group work scenarios, but their benefits in lecture-style teaching were apparent from this review article.

This systematic review identifies current assessment and analysis practices for evaluating the personal event narratives of school-age children and provides a comprehensive overview to guide future research and clinical application. Method: The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022345679) and followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Electronic databases (CINAHL, ERIC, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, SCOPUS, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global) were searched in August 2022 and September 2024 for peer-reviewed studies and dissertations or theses published in English that evaluated personal narrative skills in participants aged 4–18 years. There was no date limit. Extracted data included study design, participant samples, assessment tasks, and analysis measures. Analysis measures were categorized using the Linguistic Underpinnings of Narrative in Aphasia (LUNA) framework. Results: A total of 211 studies (37,477 participants) were included. Recent years have seen an increasing number of studies related to personal narratives. Elicitation methods commonly involved question prompts, brief examples, and modeled personal narratives. Across studies, 907 analysis measures were identified (763 language measures), reflecting substantial heterogeneity. Discourse aspects analyzed spanned all four LUNA framework components: pragmatics, macrostructure planning, propositional, and linguistic. Conclusions: This review article catalogs the range of assessment methods and analysis procedures that can be used to evaluate children's personal narratives. Mapping the language measures onto the LUNA framework highlighted which discourse elements have received research attention. These findings may assist clinicians in interpreting available data and selecting assessment and intervention targets. The accompanying open-access data set, available via the Open Science Framework (OSF) repository, provides a foundation for future research, including investigations of population-specific needs and methodological trends.","PeriodicalId":54326,"journal":{"name":"Language Speech and Hearing Services in Schools","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-33"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149093267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: Data were collected from 104 preschool children (ages 5–6 years), bilingual speakers of English–Hebrew ( n = 34), Russian–Hebrew ( n = 50), and French–Hebrew ( n = 20). Narratives were collected via retelling in both languages with support from six colored pictures following the procedures and coding of the Language Impairment Testing in Multilingual Settings–Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (LITMUS-MAIN). Story scripts in each language reflect story grammar (SG) elements, including setting (time, place, and main characters) and three episodes per story, where each episode contains goal, attempt, and outcome. Stories retold in both languages were transcribed and coded for macrostructure features, following the LITMUS-MAIN coding procedure. The coding included story structure (sum of all elements, maximum score = 17), structural complexity (number of goal–attempt or goal–outcome sequences and number of goal–attempt–outcome sequences), and individual SG elements. All three components of macrostructure were analyzed for cross-linguistic and cross-group differences. Results: Analyses revealed significant cross-linguistic differences in most components for the English–Hebrew group, but not for the Russian–Hebrew or French–Hebrew groups. More subtle differences were revealed by structural complexity analysis, such that narratives of HL English–Hebrew and Russian–Hebrew bilinguals included more goal–attempt and goal–outcome combinations. The presence of individual SG elements was also higher in HL than in SL, and this trend was more evident in the English–Hebrew group. Conclusions: Cross-linguistic differences in macrostructure might not be universal; rather, each HL group has unique profiles of storytelling. We discuss ethnolinguistic identity and cultural values as possible factors contributing to these differences.

It summarizes how narrative-based approaches can enrich and enhance existing assessment practices and argues that narratives are an integral part of clinical assessment, as they allow for in-depth, multidimensional evaluation of an individual's spoken language skills. Method: We first provide a rationale for considering both personal narrative and fictional narrative assessment in clinical practice. Then, we outline the development of Global TALES and MAIN, including progress made in recent years. We end with a summary of the six articles in this forum, highlighting their clinical implications. Conclusion: In a world of increasing global mobility, speech-language clinicians need reliable, ecologically valid, and culturally and linguistically appropriate assessment tools. This forum is designed to benefit clinicians and researchers by presenting a novel perspective on narratives, framed through two narrative genres. The approaches described are theoretically grounded, ecologically valid (not perceived as a test), precise, and well accepted by children worldwide. By bringing these tools to the clinical community, we hope to promote more effective and precise evaluation of children's narrative skills in our contemporary time shaped by technological, social, and demographic transformation.","PeriodicalId":54326,"journal":{"name":"Language Speech and Hearing Services in Schools","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149093270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges can be complex and multidimensional, requiring thoughtful, individualized approaches to support communication and overall development. Method: This clinical focus article introduces the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), along with its version for children and youth, as a practical and holistic framework for supporting this population. We explore how specific relevant ICF categories align with the lived experiences of children with visual impairment or deafblindness and demonstrate their application in speech-language pathology assessment, goal setting, and intervention planning. Results: Drawing on the literature, we highlight the current challenges and promising opportunities for integrating the ICF into speech-language pathologists' (SLPs') everyday clinical practice. Using this framework can help SLPs more effectively identify barriers to and facilitators of communication and participation; enhance interdisciplinary collaboration; and provide more individualized, evidence-informed care.
