However, observations by and personal experiences of the first author suggest that praising children verbally is not common practice among Malaysian parents. The purpose of this research, therefore, was to describe the use of positive reinforcement by a small number of Malaysian parents, with a view to informing an adaptation of the Lidcombe Program for Malaysian families. The participants in this study consisted of six dyads of parent-preschool child randomly chosen from a stratified sample of 20 dyads from the general Malaysian population. These participants were video-recorded during two table tasks. The interactions were transcribed and analyzed using a coding system modified from various studies for the purpose of the research. Results showed that all parents except one verbally praised their children's behaviors during the tasks. However, frequency of praise was relatively low compared to other type of responses, and expressions of praise were limited. Implications for the Lidcombe Program are discussed.","PeriodicalId":88385,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific journal of speech, language, and hearing","volume":"49 1","pages":"108 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87542916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The way nations formally recognise communication impairment impacts the provision of services and long-term outcomes of these children. Children with communication impairment are specifically identified in legislation and policy in the United States and United Kingdom; however, this is not the case in Australia. Current Australian legislation and policy does not adequately address the needs of children with communication impairment, particularly those with communication impairment of unknown origin. Australian allied health, education, and disability service providers often are left to interpret ambiguous policies to make a case for service delivery to such children. In addition, as Australian state and territory criteria for specialist services are becoming increasingly stringent, access for children with mild-moderate communication impairments is severely limited. Recently, the Council of Australian Governments agreed to a partnership between the Commonwealth, state, and territory governments to pursue substantial reform in the areas of education, skills and early childhood development. This partnership provides an opportunity to improve the educational, social, and health prospects of children with communication impairment as part of national “education revolution,” and in turn bolster the nation's productivity, economy, and social and cultural capital.","PeriodicalId":88385,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific journal of speech, language, and hearing","volume":"39 1","pages":"67 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76123329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key question is whether parents are able to identify the nature and extent of their child's difficulties. Here, we assessed children's text-level reading ability and parents' perceptions of these children's reading ability. Results showed that although the 10 children we assessed presented with a range of spoken and written language difficulties, parents significantly overestimated their child's reading performance (in terms of accuracy, comprehension and fluency). This is a striking finding and, to our knowledge, has not been reported previously in the literature. It suggests the need for a comprehensive assessment of reading ability when children present with suspected spoken and/or written language difficulties; at initial assessment, parents may not be accurate reporters of their child's reading ability. It is likely that parents of children with spoken and written language difficulties will need to be informed of their child's strengths and weaknesses in reading and directed towards effective intervention to ensure that their child reaches his or her potential with regard to literacy. Directions for future research in this area are discussed.","PeriodicalId":88385,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific journal of speech, language, and hearing","volume":"62 1","pages":"61 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88847982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we provide an overview of two communication partner training programs designed to facilitate the interactions of people with communication disability. The first program was developed to enhance the communication skills of law and justice personnel and thus facilitate equal access to legal services for people with communication disabilities. The second program focuses on training everyday communication partners to converse with their relative or friend with a brain injury. Although both programs vary according to their aims and content, they are similar in their underlying goal of enabling people with communication disability to successfully reintegrate into the community. As it is often the communication partner who determines the success or otherwise of an interaction with people with communication disability, it is critical to ensure that they have the knowledge and skills to maximize each communication opportunity that arises. Training programs such as those described in this paper begin to address this challenge by providing information, skills and confidence in dealing with people with communication disability.","PeriodicalId":88385,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific journal of speech, language, and hearing","volume":"21 1","pages":"13 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80842248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This hypothesis has been investigated as the source for the language comprehension deficits that are a hallmark of aphasia. Additionally, it has been hypothesized that individuals with limited WM facility are negatively affected in second language acquisition and language use. The current study investigated this latter hypothesis and explored the relationship between working memory and sentencelevel auditory language comprehension in native English (L1) speakers with English as their first language and nonnative English (L2) speakers with Korean as their first and English as their second language. It was hypothesized that individuals who demonstrate poorer performance on measures of WM would perform more poorly on sentence comprehension tasks that are more difficult as manipulated by presentation rate and linguistic complexity, and these relationships would emerge more prominently in the L2 group than the L1 group. The results showed that WM performance significantly predicted auditory comprehension performance under all conditions in both high and lower functioning WM groups. As hypothesized, the L2 low-WM group performed significantly more poorly on the syntactically more complex sentences than the L2 high-WM group. However, the WM group effects were not present in the L1 group. Manipulations of presentation rates did not differentially affect auditory comprehension performance as a function of WM group either in the L1 or L2 groups.","PeriodicalId":88385,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific journal of speech, language, and hearing","volume":"22 1","pages":"41 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86635652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, using test norms only for comparison, the boys' language skills were assessed three times over a two-year period. The findings suggest that the language skills of both boys were generally within one standard deviation of their respective control group's mean, although one boy was experiencing moderate difficulty with high-level language tasks. Between assessment 2 and 3, the receptive language skills of both boys declined, and competence with high level language tasks declined considerably for one boy and slightly for the other. The results suggest that language skills require monitoring following CNS chemotherapy.","PeriodicalId":88385,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific journal of speech, language, and hearing","volume":"389 1","pages":"51 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80744029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many basic expressions of emotion such as fear, anger, sadness, disgust, and happiness are universal. Some more subtle expressions are learned and may be culture-specific or idiosyncratic but the basic ones are found in all humans. Infants around the world follow a similar timetable based on neurologic maturation in development of production and recognition of facial expression. Babies who are blind spontaneously develop the same expressions even without the ability to view them in others. As speech-language pathologists, we encounter individuals who cannot produce normal facial expressions of emotion. These might include people with Mobius syndrome and others with facial paralysis, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, poststroke paresis, and Parkinson's disease. Children in our caseloads with autism, Williams and velocardiofacial syndromes, and learning disabilities have problems in recognition, rather than production, which often leads to pragmatic difficulties. Adults poststroke, with traumatic brain injury, or progressive dementia may also show an inability to recognize expression, which may result in misinterpretation of everyday situations. Traditional methods and computerized training programs attempt to improve production and interpretation of expression.","PeriodicalId":88385,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific journal of speech, language, and hearing","volume":"12 1","pages":"1 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87786900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
