Book Summary: With detailed discussion and invaluable video footage of 23 treatment interventions for speech sound disorders (SSDs) in children, this textbook and DVD set should be part of every speech-language pathologist's professional preparation. Focusing on children with functional or motor-based speech disorders from early childhood through the early elementary period, this textbook gives preservice SLPs critical analyses of a complete spectrum of evidence-based phonological and articulatory interventions. This textbook fully prepares SLPs for practice with a vivid inside look at intervention techniques in action through high-quality DVD clips large and varied collection of intervention approaches with widespread use across ages, severity levels, and populations proven interventions in three categories: direct speech production, broader contexts such as perceptual intervention, and speech movements clear explanations of the evidence behind the approaches so SLPs can evaluate them accurately contributions by well-known experts in SSDs from across the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK An essential core text for pre-service SLPs—and an important professional resource for practicing SLPs, early interventionists, and special educators—this book will help readers make the best intervention decisions for children with speech sound disorders. Evidence-based intervention approaches—demonstrated in DVD clips—such as: minimal pairs perceptual intervention core vocabulary stimulability treatment intervention for developmental dysarthria the psycholinguistic approach Interventions for Speech Sound Disorders in Children is a part of the Communication and Language Intervention Series

A mismatch negativity response (MMN) and a new differential waveform were derived in an effort to evaluate a neural refractory or recovery effect in adult listeners. The MMN was elicited using oddball test runs in which the standard and deviant stimuli differed in frequency. To derive the differential waveform, the same standard and deviant stimuli were presented alone. MMN responses were obtained by subtracting the averaged responses to standards from the deviants. The differential waveforms were obtained by subtracting the averaged responses to standards presented alone from deviants presented alone. Scalp topography for the MMN and differential waveforms were similar. A significant (p Se obtuvo una respuesta de negatividad desigual (MMN) y una nueva onda ?diferencial? en un esfuerzo por evaluar un efecto neural refractario o de recuperación en sujetos adultos. La MMN fue generada utilizando cursos peculiares de prueba en los que el estimulo estándar y el alterado tenían frecuencias diferentes. Para derivar la onda diferencial, se presentaron el mismo estímulo estándar y el alterado en forma aislada. Las respuestas MMN se obtuvieron restando las respuestas promediadas estándar de las alteradas. Las formas de onda diferenciales se obtuvieron restando las respuestas promediadas a estímulos estándar presentados aisladamente, de los estímulos alterados presentados también en forma aislada. La topografía craneana de los MMN y las onda diferenciales fueron similares. Se encontraron correlaciones positivas y negativas significativas (p

This presentation will provide participants up to date and comprehensive information regarding tinnitus mechanisms, special populations, and interventions. Contemporary findings from research studies will be summarized and audiologic implications addressed. The presenters will review intervention approaches that employ hearing aid fittings as well as emerging sound-based and counseling strategies for tinnitus management.
