Article Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of different types of recasts and prompts on the rate of repair and spontaneous use of novel vocabulary by eight children with severe motor speech disabilities who used speech-generating technologies to communicate. Data came from 60 transcripts of clinical sessions that were part of a conversation-based intervention designed to teach them pronouns, verbs, and verb inflections. The results showed that, when presented alone, interrogative choice and declarative recasts led to the highest rates of child repair. The results also showed that when children were presented with recasts and prompts to repair, the rate of repair increased. Spontaneous use of linguistic targets was significantly and positively related to conversational sequences where the adult recast was followed by child repair. These findings suggest that using different recast types and prompts to repair may be beneficial for spontaneous use of linguistic targets in this population.

Today's drug discovery increasingly relies on computational and machine learning approaches to identify novel candidates, yet data scarcity remains a significant challenge. To address this limitation, we present , an application specifically designed to predict molecular activity in low-data scenarios. At its core, leverages a state-of-the-art few-shot activity prediction model, named MHNfs, which has demonstrated strong performance across a large set of prediction tasks in the benchmark data set FS-Mol.

Long COVID is a multisystem condition that has multiple consequences for the physical, mental, and social health of COVID-19 survivors. The impact of the long COVID condition remains unclear, particularly among middle-aged and older adults, who are at greater risk than younger people of persisting symptoms associated with COVID-19. Therefore, we aimed to understand the experiences of middle-aged and older people who had been hospitalized for COVID-19 and the repercussions of long-term COVID symptoms in their daily lives.

Purpose: This pilot study evaluated enhanced milieu teaching with phonological emphasis (EMT + PE) parent training intervention delivered through telepractice and its impact on parent implementation, child speech outcomes, and child language outcomes.
Method: A multiple baseline design across behaviours was used to assess response to parent training and child outcomes. The intervention was delivered to four parents and their young children with repaired cleft palate.

Students often find neuroanatomy a daunting exercise of rote memorization in a dead language. This workshop was designed to enliven the teaching of neuroanatomy. We recast the topic by extending it to the cellular and sub-cellular levels, animating it by learning to build a brain, and infusing the topic with the lively arts.

Conversational repair has been found to play a fundamental role in the acquisition of language. This paper describes existing research on conversational repair and its relationship to language learning, whether a first language or a second language, as well as its relevance to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). A case is made for incorporating prompts to repair in conversation-based language interventions with children learning to use AAC.
