The second article reviews the feasibility of implementing telehealth programs related to behavioral interventions for families and their children with ASD. The third article explores the usability of a web-based application of the JASPER social communication intervention. The fourth article discusses the results of a survey completed by speech-language pathologists who utilized telepractice to teach children with autism to access and use augmentative and alternative communication devices. The final article shares current available research related to the barriers of and solutions to conducting telehealth assessment and interventions for families and their students with ASD.

Summary: This SIG 1 activity focuses on how speech sound disorders (SSDs) can have an impact on children’s literacy skills and development. The first article describes the phonological awareness (PA) skills of children with SSDs and compares the relationships between types of speech errors to strengths and weaknesses in their phonological awareness abilities. The second article is a tutorial that aims to provide evidence that supports the use of print and print referencing in speech therapy sessions with children who have SSDs. The third article examines the available evidence for intervention frameworks that support literacy skill development, specifically within the context of SSD intervention. The fourth article reviews why SSDs put children at risk for word reading difficulties and how speech-language pathologists can integrate foundational skills to reduce this risk.

Summary: This SIG 10 activity focuses on student perceptions and experiences. In the first article, the experiences of SLP graduate students who previously worked as Speech-Language Pathology Assistants are compared with students who did not come into their programs with such experience. Implications for prospective students and program development are discussed. Next, authors investigate experiences of students and graduates of clinical doctorate programs, including the application process, their career goals and outcomes, and their general reflections on their decision to pursue the doctor of speech-language pathology degree. Third, authors present an examination of SLPs’ perceptions of graduate students in CSD who speak with vocal fry (a low-pitched, grating voice quality). Finally, in a mixed-method study, graduate and undergraduate students participate in a learning-by-teaching experience in two CSD courses. Three years of data is presented.
