Summary: The auditory brainstem response (ABR) can be elicited by broadband stimuli such as the click and chirp. Differences in the click- and chirp-evoked ABR have been extensively described using subjective analyses. The aim of the current research included in this SIG 6 activity is to determine if subjectively observed differences between the click- and chirp-evoked ABR are also represented in objective signal-to-noise ratio measurements obtained from these responses at different stimulus intensities and sweep counts.

Summary: These SIG 2 articles explore innovative approaches for supporting the mental health and functional communication of people with chronic aphasia, including how SLPs can work collaboratively with other professionals, using script training to improve functional communication, and using co-constructed storytelling to support life participation and identity reconstruction.

Summary: This SIG 5 Perspectives course contains articles that discuss the psychosocial impacts of craniofacial care on patients and their caregivers. The articles include a literature review highlighting pediatric medical traumatic stress (PMTS) and findings of a survey examining how psychosocial barriers impact patient and family compliance with home exercise programs (HEPs).

Summary: This trio of SIG 13 articles provides information regarding managing and treating dysphagia with adult patients. First, Abrams and co-authors underscore the importance of hydration and discovered that individuals consuming thickened liquids are often at risk for dehydration. Factors to increase fluid intake through different strategies are discussed. Next, Arguello and Kerr discuss the mechanism of a facial burn injury and how it may cause functional impairments that can be directly impacted through early intervention utilizing speech-language pathology services. Finally, Warner and colleagues completed a pilot study investigating the prevalence of pretreatment dysphagia in oncologic patients and individual factors influencing post treatment dysphagia.

Summary: Three SIG 13 articles discuss dysphagia intervention. One article is about the use of gelatin-based desserts; a second article is about safe and functional bottle feeding for children with dysphagia; and a third articles is about using modified barium swallow studies for individuals with ALS.

Summary: These SIG 5 articles discuss surgical and parent-led therapy approaches for improved speech and resonance outcomes, and describe characteristics needed in an evaluation to analyze clinically obtained data for research purposes. The articles are from a forum titled An International Perspective on Clinical Research in Speech-Language Pathology Cleft Care.

Summary: This course focuses on the prevalence and identification of communication disorders in Japan, Guatemala, and global contexts. The first study, conducted in Japan, examines the prediction of special educational needs in children who stutter using a screening test for three neurodevelopmental disorders. The second study explores clinical practices for speech sound disorders in Guatemala, particularly the use of nonspeech oral motor exercises. The third study provides insights into the frequency of aphasia worldwide.
