Student Training In A University Setting Voice Clinic- How Do We Do It?, Chaya D. Nanjundeswaran (Guntupalli), Celia Bassich, Robin Samlan

ETSU Faculty Works

This presentation will discuss the challenges that clinical supervisors face when trying to balance efficient graduate student training and patient welfare in university voice clinics. We will propose a model in which we seek to balance the needs of the patient, student clinician, and clinical instructor.


Development Of Metalinguistic Awareness: Evidence From Children’S Overt Productions, Laura Kirkby, Mallory Dingess, Jamesa Ewing, Whitney Salvers, Kerry Proctor-Williams Nov 2014

Development Of Metalinguistic Awareness: Evidence From Children’S Overt Productions, Laura Kirkby, Mallory Dingess, Jamesa Ewing, Whitney Salvers, Kerry Proctor-Williams

ETSU Faculty Works

This study examined whether metalinguistic frequency increases or utterance type changes with age in children with typical language. Overt metalinguistic productions of 32 children, 3;0-5;7, were collected during recast intervention. Overall, the data showed changes in frequency and proportion of types with age.


A Proposed Holistic Model Of Assessment For Children With Cleft Palate Within The Icf-Cy Framework, Rabia Foreman, Jamesa Ewing, Olivia Hawley, Mariana De Cassia Macedo, Naiara Rodrigues Carlota Do Nascimento, Brenda Louw, Luciana Maximino Nov 2014

A Proposed Holistic Model Of Assessment For Children With Cleft Palate Within The Icf-Cy Framework, Rabia Foreman, Jamesa Ewing, Olivia Hawley, Mariana De Cassia Macedo, Naiara Rodrigues Carlota Do Nascimento, Brenda Louw, Luciana Maximino

ETSU Faculty Works

The purpose of this project is to describe a proposed model for the assessment of children with cleft palate within the framework of the ICF-CY (WHO, 2007). Suggestions for clinical application and cleft palate curricula are made, and future research needs are identified.


Students’ Attitudes And Perceptions Toward Interprofessional Education, Rabia Foreman, Lacey Harris, Kathryn Mcguire, Kerry Proctor-Williams, Katie Baker Nov 2014

Students’ Attitudes And Perceptions Toward Interprofessional Education, Rabia Foreman, Lacey Harris, Kathryn Mcguire, Kerry Proctor-Williams, Katie Baker

ETSU Faculty Works

Three scales were administered to measure attitudes of graduate students in health professions prior to their participation in an interprofessional education (IPE) pilot program. Overall, results indicated that students’ attitudes toward IPE were generally positive, but there is room for improvement. Additionally, medical students’ attitudes differed from the other disciplines.


Neurodevelopmental Outcomes For Infants With Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome: Implications For Speech-Language Pathologists And Audiologists, Kerry Proctor-Williams Nov 2014

Neurodevelopmental Outcomes For Infants With Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome: Implications For Speech-Language Pathologists And Audiologists, Kerry Proctor-Williams

ETSU Faculty Works

The causes and neurodevelopmental outcomes of children exposed to drugs and/or alcohol prenatally are presented. The incidence of this population is rising rapidly and appearing in increasing numbers on the caseloads of speech-language pathologists. Topics include prevalence, common drugs, Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, longer-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, and treatment challenges.

ETSU Faculty Works

This investigation assessed the parental perspectives of parents of toddlers with cleft lip and palate and their use of touchscreen technology. Findings will highlight parental perspectives on touchscreen technology in early intervention with their toddler.


Reliability Of Two Alternative Methods For The Standard Mid-Thigh Isometric Pull, Duane A. Williams, Courtney D. Hall, Patsy Cantor, Jennifer Williams, N. Brown, Ryan Dulling, Ogechi Egbujor Jul 2014

Reliability Of Two Alternative Methods For The Standard Mid-Thigh Isometric Pull, Duane A. Williams, Courtney D. Hall, Patsy Cantor, Jennifer Williams, N. Brown, Ryan Dulling, Ogechi Egbujor

ETSU Faculty Works

The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of two new alternative portable methods for measuring maximal isometric force measures while performing the standard mid-thigh pull. One method, the bar grip method, required the use of the trunk and upper extremity muscles, while the second method, the pelvic belt method, did not. Both methods demonstrated good test-retest reliability via randomized repeated measures over 24-36 hours. Interestingly, the pelvic belt method generally demonstrated average maximal forces up to 65% higher than the bar method. There was a good relationship between both methods. These new alternative methods could provide strength …
