Bennett, Lauren S. “The Effect of a Holistic Treatment Program on Remediation of Phonological Errors in a Preschool Child.”

Request here A distinctive feature approach to intervention is a treatment technique that targets phonemes absent in a child’s sound inventory, generally focusing on sound substitutions. Comprehension of phonemic contrasts are indicative of phonological complexity; therefore, children that present with phonological disorders are less aware of these contrasts, hindering speech sound development. A preschool-aged child [...]

Heape, Amber Berry. “Effect of Structured Training on Graduate Student Self-Efficacy in Medical Settings”

Request here Medical offsite placements for graduate students in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) are increasingly difficult for speech-language pathology (SLP) programs to attain. Some suggest that may be, in part, due to the perception of student ambiguity, clinical skill deficits, and poor overall self-efficacy (Brown, 2007). This leads to difficulty for universities, which are [...]
