Assessment of Single-Word Production for Children under Three Years of Age: Comparison of Children with and without Cleft Palate
Background. This study reports comparative phonological assessment results for children with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) to typically developing peers using an evaluation tool for early phonological skills. Methods. Children without clefts (NC = noncleft) and 24 children with CLP, ages of 18–36 months, were evaluated using the Profile of Early Expressive Phonological Skills (PEEPSs) [1]. Children interacted with toy manipulatives to elicit a representative sample of target English consonants and syllable structures that are typically acquired by children between 18 and 27 months of age. Results. Results revealed significant differences between the two groups with regard to measures of consonant inventory, place of articulation, manner of production, accuracy, and error patterns. Syllable structure did not indicate differences, with the exception of initial consonant clusters. Conclusions. findings provide support for PEEPS as a viable option for single-word assessment of children with CLP prior to 3 years of age

Academic and clinical preparation in speech-language pathology and audiology: a global training consortium
ABSTRACT: Purpose: To describe a research-based global\ud
curriculum in speech-language pathology and audiology that\ud
is part of a funded cross-linguistic consortium among 2 U.S.\ud
and 2 Brazilian universities.\ud
Method: The need for a global curriculum in speechlanguage\ud
pathology and audiology is outlined, and different\ud
funding sources are identified to support development of a\ud
global curriculum. The U.S. Department of Education’s Fund\ud
for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE), in\ud
conjunction with the Brazilian Ministry of Education (Fundacao\ud
Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel\ud
Superior; CAPES), funded the establishment of a shared\ud
research curriculum project, “Consortium for Promoting\ud
Cross-Linguistic Understanding of Communication Disabilities\ud
in Children” for East Tennessee State University and the University of Northern Iowa and 2 Brazilian universities\ud
(Universidade Federal de Santa Maria and Universidade de\ud
São Paulo-Baurú).\ud
Results: The goals and objectives of the research-based\ud
global curriculum are summarized, and a description of an\ud
Internet-based course, “Different Languages, One World,” is\ud
provided\ud
Conclusion: Partnerships such as the FIPSE–CAPES consortium\ud
provide a foundation for training future generations of\ud
globally and research-prepared practitioners in speechlanguage\ud
