[Early indicators of childhood apraxia of speech in late talkers: general guidelines to intervention].

Introduction: The population of children with slow emergence of language development varies widely, both in their initial profile and in their response to intervention. In this sense, there is a group of late talkers who continue to show persistent language difficulties, in some cases exhibiting signs compatible with verbal dyspraxia.

Method: In this paper we present the different response to intervention of two profiles of late talkers.

Parent-Implemented Hanen Program It Takes Two to Talk: An Exploratory Study in Spain.

Parent-implemented interventions are a highly common approach for enhancing communication and linguistic abilities of late talkers, involving a population that shows a small expressive vocabulary in the absence of other deficits that could explain it. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of a parent-implemented language intervention, It Takes Two to Talk-The Hanen Program for Parents (ITTT), to a clinician-directed therapy. Participants were 17 families and their late-talking children: 10 families took part in ITTT and 7 in the clinician-directed modality.

The Moderating Role of Intellectual Humility in the Adoption of ICT: A Study Across Life-Span.

Literature has shown age-related differences in the adoption process. In this way, it is very important to encourage the adoption of ICT by the elderly, in order to maintain their independence in daily life. However, some specific cognitive variables were not considered in theoretical models until a decade ago.
