Systematic Review: Comparative Efficacy Of The Picture Exchange Communication System (Pecs) To Other Augmentative Communication Systems In Increasing Social Communication Skills In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Brittany Mahoney, Alyssa Johnson, Maggie Mccarthy, Cameron White

Communication Sciences and Disorders: Systematic Review Publications

Purpose: This systematic review aims to compare the efficacy of the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) to other forms of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) in increasing social communication skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Methods: A systematic review of the literature on PECS and other forms of AAC written between 2007 and 2018 was conducted. Studies were selected based on the established inclusionary and exclusionary criteria. The inclusionary criteria incorporated subjects with a formal diagnosis of ASD under the age of 18. Exclusionary criteria included individuals with severe sensory, motor, and/or other medical conditions that may …

Examining The Effects Of Aac Intervention On Oral Language In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Systematic Review, Alexandra F G Patch, Emily V. Mortner, Alison R. Joseph

Communication Sciences and Disorders: Systematic Review Publications

This systematic review researched the efficacy of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in increasing oral communication in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It may be used to inform best practice when working with children with ASD. The search strategy reviewed medical, social science, and communication databases. Inclusionary criteria consisted of peer-reviewed, quantitative research published after 2007 regarding children with ASD under age 18. The included studies used AAC interventions and measured spoken language outcomes. After conducting an initial database search with these criteria, a manual search was performed using references from the found articles. Results varied across studies. Although …

The Efficacy Of Tele-Practice On Expressive Language Outcomes For Adults With Aphasia, Erin Fifield, Morgan Bailey, Lauren Burningham

Communication Sciences and Disorders: Systematic Review Publications

Access to skilled speech and language intervention can be difficult for individuals residing in rural areas as well as for individuals with complex health and mobility issues. Telehealth (including therapy and rehabilitation) can provide effective services in the context of one’s home, allowing clinicians to reach a wider population of individuals.
Purpose: To determine whether tele-practice service delivery produces positive expressive language outcomes that are comparable to direct service delivery for adults with aphasia.
Method: A variety of databases were searched utilizing systematic inclusionary and exclusionary criteria. Research focused on adults over the age of 18 with a formal diagnosis …

Bruna Barbosa, Bruna Barbosa

Spring 2017

Meet Bruna Barbosa—one of Andrews University's most brilliant personalities! This story covers Bruna’s transition from “living for comfort” to “living for mission.” Although her journey went through a few awkward turns, she finally found her purpose on the small island of Palau, and this purpose now fuels her pursuit of a speech-pathology degree. Read how Bruna’s decision to fly halfway across the world provided the motivation she needed to find her passion, her purpose and her profession.

Thank you, Bruna, for sharing your story. You are part of the …

Brittany Bernal - Sensorimotor Adaptation Of Speech Through A Virtually Shortened Vocal Tract, Brittany A. Bernal

Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program 2014

The broad objective of this line of research is to understand how auditory feedback manipulations may be used to elicit involuntary changes in speech articulation. We examine speech sensorimotor adaptation to supplement the development of speech rehabilitation applications that benefit from this learning phenomenon. By manipulating the acoustics of one’s auditory feedback, it is possible to elicit involuntary changes in speech articulation. We seek to understand how virtually manipulating participants’ perception of vowel space affects their speech movements by assessing acoustic variables such as formant frequency changes. Participants speak through a digital audio processing device that virtually alters the perceived …

Brittany Bernal - Sensorimotor Adaptation Of Vowel Production In Stop Consonant Contexts, Brittany A. Bernal

Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program 2013

The purpose of this research is to measure the compensatory and adaptive articulatory response to shifted formants in auditory feedback to compare the resulting amount of sensorimotor learning that takes place in speakers upon saying the words /pep/ and /tet/. These words were chosen in order to analyze the coarticulatory effects of voiceless consonants /p/ and /t/ on sensorimotor adaptation of the vowel /e/. The formant perturbations were done using the Audapt software, which takes an input speech sample and plays it back to the speaker in real-time via headphones. Formants are high-energy acoustic resonance patterns measured in hertz that …
