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: In this SIG 2 activity, participants explore the needs of people with aphasia and other cognitive-communication impairments as they interact with the legal system. The first article is a systematic review that reviews the historic accommodations that have been made to support people with aphasia during court proceedings. Using these, the article provides proactive recommendations for the support of people with aphasia who are involved with legal proceedings. The second article discusses the etiologies and prevalence of cognitive-communication disorders in people who are involved in the criminal justice system. Recommendations are provided for SLPs to participate as a part of the interdisciplinary team working with these youth and adults.

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 SIG 16 activity includes recent research that focuses on providing SLPs with strategies to implement research-based and evidence-based interventions in schools. Articles examine training in research-based behavioral interventions and their implementation; the shift from a reactive, practitioner-based model of support in assistive technology to a proactive, team-based coaching model for students with complex communication needs; and the challenges and opportunities school-based SLPs face regarding the implementation of research-based interventions within multitiered systems of support (MTSS).

Summary: This article is a summary of viewpoints from members of the International Ototoxicity Management Group, who discuss how best to integrate proactive ototoxicity management into routine clinical practice, what tools to use, and what special considerations need to be understood to best support patients and their families.

Summary: In this SIG 20 activity, Medina and Mead share a study of Hispanic/Latina SLP graduate students’ perceptions of mindfulness. Participants in this study discuss the benefits of mindfulness and their willingness to practice; however, stigmatizing beliefs and lack of education about mindfulness within their cultural communities need to be addressed. Readers of this article will gain a better understanding of how to promote mindfulness in future speech-language pathologists.

Summary: As a step toward developing an electrophysiologic method for validating the speech feature discrimination benefits of amplification, the article in this SIG 6 activity evaluates the effect of stimulus level and amplification on the acoustic change complex in adults with sensorineural hearing loss.

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: In this SIG 2 activity, participants explore innovative articles regarding a range of topics in the assessment and treatment of motor speech disorders. The first article describes a case of anarthria in which the speech-language pathologist thoroughly described the patient’s motor speech presentation, thereby contributing to his overall neurologic diagnosis. The second article examines the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a promising method of eliciting behavior change through brain stimulation, on the speech of individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The third article explores the speech and language profiles of children with apraxia of speech as their primary diagnosis, as compared to children with other concomitant diagnoses.
