Multilingual Aspects of Speech Sound Disorders in Children explores both multilingual and multicultural aspects of children with speech sound disorders. The 30 chapters have been written by 44 authors from 16 different countries about 112 languages and dialects. The book is designed to translate research into clinical practice. It is divided into three sections: (1) Foundations, (2) Multilingual speech acquisition, (3) Speech-language pathology practice. An introductory chapter discusses cross-linguistic and multilingual aspects of speech sound disorders in children. Subsequent chapters address speech sound acquisition, how the disorder manifests in different languages, cultural contexts, and speakers, and addresses diagnosis, assessment and intervention. The research chapters synthesize available research across a wide range of languages. A unique feature of this book are the chapters that translate research into clinical practice. These chapters provide real-life vignettes for specific geographical or linguistic contexts.

Inquiry into signed languages has added to what is known about structural variation and language, language learning, and cognitive processing of language. However, comparatively little research has focused on communication disorders in signed language users. For some deaf children, atypicality is viewed as a phase that they will outgrow, and this results in late identification of linguistic or cognitive deficits that might have been addressed earlier. This volume takes a step towards describing different types of atypicality in language communicated in the signed modality such as linguistic impairment caused by deficits in visual processing, difficulties with motor movements, and neurological decline. Chapters within the book also consider communication differences in hearing children acquiring signed and spoken languages.

"The identification of language problems and subsequent evaluation of interventions depend in part on the availability of useful and psychometrically robust assessments to determine the nature and severity of their problems and monitor progress. The purpose of these assessments may be to measure a child's language proficiency, that is, how they perform relative to other children and whether they have the language level expected and needed for schooling, or they may have a specifically clinical purpose, to identify the occurrence and nature of a disorder. The purpose of assessment is key to the aspects of language targeted in an assessment and the methods used to target these. In the case of spoken English, there are many language assessments ranging from broad language tests to more narrowly focused measures, reflecting the complexity of the language system and its use"--

This volume presents the latest research from internationally recognized researchers and practitioners on language, literacy and numeracy, cognition, and social and emotional development of deaf learners. In their contributions, authors sketch the backgrounds and contexts of their research, take interdisciplinary perspectives in merging their own research results with outcomes of relevant research of others, and examine the consequences and future directions for teachers and teaching. Focusing on the topic of transforming state-of-the-art research into teaching practices in deaf education, the volume addresses how we can improve outcomes of deaf education through professional development of teachers, the construction and implementation of evidence-based teaching practices, and consideration of "the whole child," thus emphasizing the importance of integrative, interdisciplinary approaches.

Communication Interventions with Deaf People concerns the application of spoken, signed, and written language interventions with deaf and hard of hearing children, young people, and adults. Exploring the work that speech and language therapists, pathologists, deaf language specialists, and other professionals carry out with deaf people, this volume extends beyond the classroom and provides clinical and real-life applications of learning and communication. Historically, communication interventions with deaf people have prioritised spoken language and considered it to be the most 'appropriate' and 'normal' accomplishment. However, this book begins with a deaf perspective on communication interventions where the multiple languages, signed, spoken, and written, of deaf people are valued equally, and this paradigm shift is reflected throughout the various chapters. With over forty contributors, the research and professional experience of experts working with deaf people, across national borders, is presented. Individual chapters describe the ways that services are delivered and detail different aspects of communication interventions, presenting the current evidence base and indicating areas where further research is needed.

Sign languages are non-written languages. Given that the use of digital media and video recordings in documenting sign languages started only some 30 years ago, the life stories of Deaf elderly signers born in the 1930s-1940s have – except for a few scattered fragments in film – not been documented and are therefore under serious threat of being lost. The chapters compiled in this volume document important aspects of past and present experiences of elderly Deaf signers across Europe, as well as in Israel and the United States. Issues addressed include (i) historical events and how they were experienced by Deaf people, (ii) issues of identity and independence, (iii) aspects of language change, (iv) experiences of suppression and discrimination. The stories shared by elderly signers reveal intriguing, yet hidden, aspects of Deaf life. On the negative side, these include experiences of the Deaf in Nazi Germany and occupied countries and harsh practices in educational settings, to name a few. On the positive side, there are stories of resilience and vivid memories of school years and social and professional life. In this way, the volume contributes in a significant way to the preservation of the cultural and linguistic heritage of Deaf communities and sheds light on lesser known aspects against an otherwise familiar background. This publication has been made possible within the SIGN-HUB project, which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

Education in general, and education for deaf learners in particular, has gone through significant changes over the past three decades. And change certainly will be the buzzword in the foreseeable future. The rapid growth of information and communication technology as well as progress in educational, psychological, and allied research fields have many scholars questioning aspects of traditional school concepts. For example, should the classroom be "flipped" so that students receive instruction online at home and do "homework" in school? At the same time, inclusive education has changed the traditional landscape of special education and thus of deaf education in many if not all countries, and yet deaf children continued to lag significantly behind hearing peers in academic achievement. As a consequence of technological innovations (e.g., digital hearing aids and early bilateral cochlear implants), the needs of many deaf learners have changed considerably. Parents and professionals, however, are just now coming to recognize that there are cognitive, experiential, and social-emotional differences between deaf and hearing students likely to affect academic outcomes. Understanding such differences and determining ways in which to accommodate them through global cooperation must become a top priority in educating deaf learners. Through the participation of an international, interdisciplinary set of scholars, Educating Deaf Learners takes a broader view of learning and academic achievement than any previous work, considering the whole child. In adopting this broad perspective, the authors capture the complexities and commonalities in the social, emotional, cognitive, and linguistic mosaic of which the deaf child is a part. It is only through such a holistic consideration that we can understand their academic potential.

Cultural Sensitivity and Responsiveness in Neurorehabilitation: A Personalized Approach for Speech-Language Pathologists is a groundbreaking and transformative resource for designing quality and equitable neurorehabilitation care for individuals from diverse communities. Material coverage is comprehensive, and chapters are user-friendly for speech-language pathologists (SLP) and SLP students alike. Case presentations are provided to demonstrate best practices. As our world becomes increasingly more diverse, it is imperative for SLPs to be knowledgeable about and experienced with foundational information relating to diversity, equity, inclusion, implicit bias, intersectionality, and SLP best practices for cases from culturally and linguistically diverse communities. The text culminates with an insightful epilogue featuring people from diverse communities from around the world who have neurogenic communication, cognitive, and swallowing disorders, and who share information about what they would like neurorehabilitation specialists to know. The book is organized into seven sections: Part I: Introduction to Personalized Care sets the stage by introducing the concept of multicultural neurogenics and personalized care. Chapters delve into topics like implicit bias, interprofessional collaboration, and the tools clinicians need for effective case management when working with diverse populations. Part II: Building a Foundation for Neurorehabilitation in a Multicultural World: Personalization Personified provides practical guidance for SLPs. It covers the preparation for case contact, working with interpreters and translators, and the assessment and management of speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing issues in culturally and linguistically diverse populations. Part III: Specialty Neurogenics Chapters offers in-depth knowledge on various neurogenic conditions such as aphasia, traumatic brain injury, right hemisphere brain damage, the dementias, dysarthrias, and dysphagia within a cultural context. Part IV: A Sampling of Information About U.S. Census Bureau Racial/Ethnic Groups delves into the unique cultural and communication factors related to various racial and ethnic groups in the United States, including Blacks, Hispanics, Chinese and Asian Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, and White Americans. Part V: Intersectionality examines the intersection of factors that create unique challenges in care, including ethical perspectives for serving LGBTQIA+ individuals, trauma-informed care for marginalized populations, and the cultural aspects of care for the Deaf community. Part VI: Contributions from Educators and a Look at Neurorehabilitation Care Trends within the U.S. provides insights from academics on diversity, equity, and inclusion in education, designing courses that promote DEI, and current trends in SLP neurorehabilitation. Part VII presents real-world cases with accompanying videos illustrating best practices in SLP neurorehabilitation care for diverse communities. These cases cover a wide range of scenarios, from collaboration between medical SLPs and interpreters to culturally adapted therapy for older adults and complex management considerations for stroke survivors from the Deaf community. This section ends with a chapter by visionaries from Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, South America, and North America sharing their insights on bridging the international diversity sensitivity and responsiveness gap, emphasizing the importance of cultural competence in a global context. Key Features: * Comprised of 40 chapters by 80 renowned authors and over 100 total contributors from diverse communities, including experienced SLP clinicians, academicians, and researchers; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) specialists; and professionals from the areas of audiology, medicine, psychology, and education * Includes real-world case studies, including accompanying videos to illustrate best practices in SLP neurorehabilitation care for people from diverse communities * Discusses diversity matters for people with major neurologically based communication, cognitive, and swallowing disorders; and by race/ethnicity and culture, with attention to intersectionality * Features content designed specifically for this book, including considerations for individuals with neurogenic disorders who are from the Deaf community; trauma-informed care for the unsheltered and people who have experienced interpartner violence; as well as intersectionality issues * Incorporates perspectives about the value of non-traditional approaches to supplement SLP treatment, health literacy, and public health partnerships * Provides information by international SLPs about DEI issues that matter most in their respective countries and features thoughts about future neurorehabilitation directions * Includes interviews with people who have neurogenic communication, cognitive, and swallowing disorders from culturally and linguistically diverse communities in the United States and abroad, providing insights into what matters most and how to best achieve personalization of neurorehabilitation care from their perspective
