Higher Education Leaders' Framing of Organizational Decisions During COVID-19.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, academic leaders were pressed to respond to the growing health crisis. The rapid response and decision-making necessitated heightened vigilance, emotional intelligence, and attention to institutional turbulence. To understand the pattern of planning and action from academic leaders in response to the global health crisis, we conducted a study to explore the framing of decisions among academic deans during COVID-19.

Emergence of speech sounds between 7 and 24 months of cochlear implant use.

Objectives: To investigate the process of speech development in five 42-month-old children with profound deafness who received cochlear implants (CIs) between 19 and 36 months of age and five normal hearing (NH) age mates.

Methods: Conversational samples were collected and transcribed. Sounds produced correctly within meaningful words (target sounds) and recognizable sounds produced in spontaneous productions (target-less sounds) were analyzed for all 10 children.
