Article Abstract
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have communication support needs and many rely on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems to communicate. Previous research suggests that AAC use does not preclude the acquisition of spoken language and, in some cases, may facilitate improvements in spoken communication in children with ASD. This study systematically applied echoic prompting and manipulated reinforcer magnitude in an effort to increase the spoken requests of 3 children with ASD, ages 10-12 years, who used iPad-based speech generating devices (SGDs). The spoken language (vocal requests) of all 3 participants increased in frequency and 1 participant began using spoken language exclusively, even when the SGD was an option. Implications for practitioners and directions for future research in this area are discussed.

Prior researches on global-local processing have focused on hierarchical objects in the visual modality, while the real-world involves multisensory interactions. The present study investigated whether the simultaneous presentation of auditory stimuli influences the recognition of visually hierarchical objects. We added four types of auditory stimuli to the traditional visual hierarchical letters paradigm:no sound (visual-only), a pure tone, a spoken letter that was congruent with the required response (response-congruent), or a spoken letter that was incongruent with it (response-incongruent).

Introduction There is no definitive, comprehensive guide for diagnosing stuttering in multilingual speakers, and research suggests that monolingual-based diagnostic criteria may lead to misidentification in this population. This systematic review aimed to identify and consolidate conventional diagnostic guidelines for multilingual speakers and evaluate their validity in light of empirical evidence on stuttering and multilingualism. Method A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Science Direct, SAGE, CINAHL, and Google Scholar using specific MESH terms (e.

In this paper we analyse gender-based biases in the language within complex legal judgments. Our aims are: (i) to determine the extent to which purported biases discussed in the literature by feminist legal scholars are identifiable from the language of legal judgments themselves, and (ii) to uncover new forms of bias represented in the data that may promote further analysis and interpretation of the functioning of the legal system. We consider a large set of 2530 judgments in family law in Australia over a 20 year period, examining the way that male and female parties to a case are spoken to and about, by male and female judges, in relation to their capacity to provide care for children subject to the decision.

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurological syndrome characterized by the gradual deterioration of language capabilities. Due to its neurodegenerative nature, PPA is marked by a continuous decline, necessitating ongoing and adaptive therapeutic interventions. Recent studies have demonstrated that behavioral therapies, particularly when combined with neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can improve treatment outcomes, including the long-term maintenance and generalization of therapeutic effects.
