Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy after perinatal asphyxia causes neurolinguistic disturbances in children without disabilities. Poor academic performance appears as a long-term result. Language intervention is sought to reduce harmful effects on children. The aim of this study is showing the relationship between clinical conditions of hypoxic-ischemic-encephalopathy (HIE) and language disorders in children without disabilities. This cross-sectional study with a neurolinguistic approach was carried out in patients with perinatal asphyxia during childbirth, at the ZH Sikder Women's Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. Respondents between 4 and 12 years, 76% underwent cranial computed tomography (CT); 82% underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); and 70% underwent electroencephalogram (EEG). Among them were found positive results for neonatal hypoxia ischemic encephalopathy (EHI). These results are related to the following language disorders: reception/perception disorder (64%), sociolinguistic disorders (84%); metalinguistic competence disorder (66%); 86% of children had poor peer relationships and 72% had reading and writing disorders. Concluding, school-age children after perinatal asphyxia who developed Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) had language disorders and poor school performance. There are still challenges to be overcome, as this is the first neurolinguistic approach in Bangladesh. More large-scale studies are needed.

Children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) often exhibit severe respiratory problems and significant pulmonary dysfunction during school age and adulthood. Exercise tests show a decline in cardiopulmonary function and physical performance in children with BPD, who also have a higher incidence of pulmonary hypertension. These children generally perform poorly in terms of intelligence, language, and motor development.

A lot of noise about nothing? Speech-to-noise ratios rather than noise predict language outcomes in preschoolers.

J Exp Child Psychol

Callier Center for Communication Disorders, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX 75080, USA; Center for Children and Families, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX 75080, USA.

It has been proposed that a childhood in a noisy household might lead to poor language skills and slow development of language areas of the brain. Notably, a direct link between noisy households and language development has not been confirmed. Households might have high levels of noise for a range of reasons, including situational (near a large road intersection or airport), family (large families), and cultural (differences in beliefs surrounding noise in the home, including media use).

Supporting young adults experiencing psychosis with their employment: A qualitative exploration of occupational therapists' experiences.

February 2025

Centre for Disability Research and Policy, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Introduction: Young adults experiencing psychosis have the same plans for work and future careers as their peers; however, many find themselves unable to participate. While there is research available about interventions used to support employment of young adults with psychosis, there is little evidence regarding the experience of occupational therapists working in this field and the vocational rehabilitation interventions and practices they use.

Methods: A descriptive qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was used to explore the perspectives of occupational therapy practitioners who support young adults experiencing psychosis with employment.

Infants at elevated likelihood for or later diagnosed with autism typically have smaller vocabularies than their peers, as shown by the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) and the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Developmental Inventory (CDI). However, the extent to which MSEL and CDI scores align remains unclear, especially across clinical and non-clinical populations. This study examined whether the concurrent validity of the MSEL and CDI differs based on autism likelihood and diagnosis.
