PROGRAM SESSIONS 2481 Poster Board 261 SA 10:00AM-11:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Articulation Treatment in a Child With Cerebral Palsy: Case Study Alexandra N. Oros, U of Wisconsin – Madison, Madison, WI; Joan Kwiatkowski, U of Wisconsin – Madison, Madison, WI 2482 Poster Board 262 SA 1:00PM-2:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G Analysis of Idioglossia: A Case Study Brenda Bender, Abilene Christian U, Abilene, TX 2483 Poster Board 263 SA 1:00PM-2:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G The Relevance of Sustained Phonation Time in Speech Naturalness JungWan Kim, Yonsei U, Seoul, Korea; Hyanghee Kim, Yonsei U, Seoul, Korea SA 8:00AM-9:00AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/352 ResSymp1: The Physiology of Neural Injury & Regeneration Tessa Gordon, U of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada This session was developed by the Convention Program Committee. This presentation will summarize the process by which peripheral nerves may respond and recover from injury. Research addressing factors important to axon regeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) will be summarized. This work has demonstrated the important role played by endogenous neurotrophic factors of axotomized neurons and denervated Schwann cells in supporting axon regeneration in the PNS. Recent research studying methods for promoting PNS regeneration will also be discussed. 2484 Poster Board 264 SA 1:00PM-2:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G Foreign Accent Syndrome: Pseudo or the Real Thing? Jennifer Jendrzey, Southeastern Louisiana U, Hammond, LA; Roxanne Stoehr, Southeastern Louisiana U, Hammond, LA; Lillian Stiegler, Southeastern Louisiana U, Hammond, LA 2485 Poster Board 265 SA 3:00PM-4:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G Comparison of Feedback Modalities in Treatment of Apraxia of Speech Greg Snyder, U of Mississippi, Oxford, MS; Lennette Ivy, U of Mississippi, Oxford, MS SA 9:30AM-10:30AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/352 ResSymp2: Neural Regeneration in the CNS Versus PNS Tessa Gordon, U of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada This session was developed by the Convention Program Committee. Injured nerves regenerate their axons in the peripheral (PNS) but not the central nervous system (CNS). The differing abilities appear related to the Schwann cells in the PNS that promote growth in contrast to the inhibitory influence of the oligodendrocytes in the CNS. This presentation will contrast the regenerative response of injured PNS neurons with the response of the CNS neurons. SA 1:00PM-2:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/286-287 Publishing Your Research: Steps to a Successful Submission Marilyn Newhoff, San Diego St U, San Diego, CA; Kenn Apel, Florida St U, Tallahassee, FL; Laura Justice, Ohio St U, Columbus, OH; Karla McGregor, U of Iowa, Iowa City, IA; Sheila Pratt, U of Pittsburgh/VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, Pittsburgh, PA; Robert Schlauch, U of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN; Anne Smith, Purdue U, West Lafayette, IN Get insights about the publications process from those in the know. The editors of the ASHA journals and the chair of the Publications Board will walk participants through the editorial process--from authoring and submitting a research report, through the peer review process, to eventual acceptance or rejection. They will share tips for success as well as cautions about common pitfalls that reduce the likelihood of acceptance. Time will be allowed for questions and answers. 2486 Poster Board 266 spEECh-LanguagE pathoLogY SA 3:00PM-4:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G Neurofibromatosis & Speech-Language Pathology: Unveiling the Connection Carolyn Madding, California St U – Long Beach, Long Beach, CA saturday, november 21, 2009 Research Issues Across the Discipline (SLP) 2487 SA 8:00AM-9:00AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/293 Clinicians Are Scientists, Too: Single-Subject Designs Within Clinical Practice Rebecca Epperly, Radford U, Radford, VA; Corey Herd, Radford U, Radford, VA; Sarah Monahan, Centennial Sch Dist, Circle Pines, MN Practitioners must integrate evidence-based practices into their clinical decisions to provide optimal services to their clients. Often, available research does not match specific needs of clients. We must therefore apply a scientific approach to our clinical practices. This presentation provides participants with basics regarding development/ utilization of single-subject studies within their caseloads. The principles, advantages, limitations, and process of single-subject study designs will be presented. Three case studies will be shared and discussed. SA 11:00AM-12:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/352 ResSymp3: Motor Cortex Neural Regeneration Across the Life Span Jeffrey Kleim, U of Florida, Gainesville, FL This session was developed by the Convention Program Committee. The brain is capable of structural and functional reorganization in response to a variety of manipulations. This presentation will discuss the mechanisms by which the rat and human motor cortex recovers after injury as determined using intracortical microstimulation in rats and transcranial magnetic stimulation in humans. Research findings will be presented showing specific behavioral and neural signals associated with rehabilitation-dependent recovery of motor function after stroke. SA 2:30PM-3:30PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/356 Q Methodology: Scientific Exploration of Human Subjectivity Kendrea Focht, U of Pittsburgh/UPMC SouthSide Hosp Inst for Rehab & Research, Pittsburgh, PA; Paula Leslie, U of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA; Will Focht, Oklahoma St U, Stillwater, OK How do clinician researchers bridge the chasm between the very individual nature of our patients, families, and fellow professionals, and the requirements that evidence has scientific rigor? Randomized control trials are not appropriate for many issues in communication science. This session will introduce Q methodology, used in diverse fields ranging from political science to medicine. We will explain the methodology and demonstrate its inherent suitability for building the evidence base in our professions. SA 11:00AM-12:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/354 Shaping Successive Word Approximations for Speech Intelligibility: Effect on Language Diane Nancarrow, Kaufman Children's Ctr for Speech, Language, Sensory-Motor, & Social Connections, West Bloomfield, MI; Nancy Kaufman, Kaufman Children's Ctr for Speech, Language, Sensory-Motor, & Social Connections, West Bloomfield, MI; Martha S. Burns, Scientific Learning Corp., Oakland, CA Eleven children diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech underwent intensive summer speech and language intervention to improve intelligibility and expressive language skills. Applying a method of shaping successive word approximations and increasing length of utterance, children engaged in 28.5 hours of treatment. Baseline testing included checklists, two standardized tests, and spontaneous language samples. Outcomes demonstrate improvements in articulatory accuracy, intelligibility, and language production, with suggestions for implementation in standard clinical and school practices. SA 4:00PM-5:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/356 How to Do Survey Research Step-by-Step Timothy Meline, Lamar U, Beaumont, TX Surveys are important for identifying opinions, attitudes, and practices. Sampling issues, instrument issues, and conclusions are especially important for achieving reliability and validity. Participants are shown examples of good and bad protocols as well as online resources that help to determine sample size/procedures to minimize sampling bias. A survey feasibility checklist is presented as an aid. New researchers gain a start to designing/ implementing good surveys, and practitioners can better evaluate the quality of surveys. SA 1:00PM-3:00PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/295 Research Project Management: Divine Design, Nuts & Bolts, & Discussion Shara Brinkley, Arizona St U, Tempe, AZ; Stephanie Williams, Arizona St U, Tempe, AZ; Raquel Matute, Arizona St U, Tempe, AZ When initiating a research project, investigators and research coordinators face the daunting challenge of developing the most efficient and effective means of managing the research goals, personnel, and data generated by the research. This seminar is designed to provide a resource for sharing information gleaned from our experience as research coordinators and to stimulate input and discussion from attendees regarding their challenges and successes in the research process.
