Preterm babies at higher risk of language disorders, different early life experiences e.g. NICU; higher rates of referral #icpla

@samburrslt.bsky.social presenting work on #ssd in very premature babies. #icpla

Three main factors, speech accuracy, ICS, child perception of the impact of their #ssd, were identified in Dutch. The latter was not in a recent US study #icpla #childspeechdis

Aussie Language warning- the Royal college called their outcome tool the Root! #icpla 🤣

Now, moving to next phase to get this data from electronic medical records in a pilot #icpla, #childspeechdis

Lots of games adapted for phonetics- anagrams, word generation, guess who type games using distinctive features... #icpla

Text from a paperback book, with orange texta crossing out

Shows us Blackout poetry to teach letter sound disjuncts. Here We were asked to block out all sounds that did not have a labial, yes I was trigger happy #icpla

Phonetics is a threshold concept, which students need to acquire to advance their learning. #icpla

Slide text describing playful learning in a quote from Whitton

Playful learning is her pedagogy. It encourages collaboration and makes failure safe, ensures active learning. #icpla @clairetimmins.bsky.social

Steal like an artist, shoe(share) your work

suggests that teachers should adapt and adopt the work of others #icpla

Now at #icpla @clairetimmins.bsky.social keynote on teaching phonetics and phonology.

CPP was also highly variable but this decreased with age as expected #icpla #voice

Childrens #mpt was longer than previously reported. #voice #icpla. High variability which increased with age

Only CPP differed by age, all other voice quality measures were relatively constant. #icpla

Duration of prolonged voicing increases with age regardless of sex. S:z ratio had an age effect AND sex #icpla

Kuschman - presenting Murali's work on school aged children's #voice variability - respiration and phonation. #icpla

Noted most studies included mothers rather than fathers; most were global north #icpla

What gaps exist? Not much lit about HOW #slps work with parents.Pritchard questions how much flexibility is too much, when does #ebp lose the evidence? #icpla

7 themes emerged. 1. Individualisation for children; 2. Setting shared expectations and roles; 3. Daily life- facilitators & barriers were important; 4. Parental knowledge - parents want to know why; 5. Parent involvement. 6. Therapeutic alliance; 7. Need a variety of ways to support parents #icpla

Pritchard - scoping review of #slp and #slts working with parents in #ssd #childspeechdis #icpla

Tanja Kocjancic - voicing in Czech children's sibilants #icpla #childspeech

Kehoe questions Dodd's arbitrary 40% cut off of variability - should be a continuum #icpla #childspeechdis

Groups- phon, phon inconsistent, articulation, motor speech different profiles. High speech variability more frequent in more severely impaired. #icpla #childspeechdis

Reliance on #ddk was better than wider speech motor tasks at predicting classification. #icpla which supports Murray et al 2015 CAS differential diagnosis paper (my thought)

#icpla, starting with Margaret Kehoe discussing classification of speech disorders in French speaking children. Suggests that if the classification systems are based on underlying deficits they should apply universally #childspeechdis #bskyspeechie

Used two separate terms for voicelessness, aphonia which seems like our definition, and sige' which was accompanied by psychological features #icpla

On this basis we should be cautious in reading ancient Greek medical texts within our own biases. #icpla

Oops should read my posts: linking both ends of the alimentary tract, both of which expel air, as was common in ancient Greek #icpla

#icpla #bskyspeechies "those who lisp are especially afflicted by chronic diarrhoea" connecting one end of the alimentary practice as was common in Hippocratic era.

Ischophonia was the inability to join syllables together. #apraxia? #icpla
