Within both the pragmatics orientation and the revised definition of MR, the discussion of communication disorders for children with MR has begun to de-emphasize a developmental content-form protocol for assessment and intervention. Instead, the current model suggests the importance of communication stimulation and support in daily routines, the nature of which includes the perceptions and expectations of communication partners, and the characteristics of the social interaction that affect communication style.

Engagement of adolescents with ADHD in a narrative-centered game-based behavior change environment to reduce alcohol use.
Front Educ (Lausanne)
January 2024
Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, United States.
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects about 13% of adolescents and is associated with substance use-related morbidity and mortality. While evidence on effective interventions to reduce alcohol use among adolescents with ADHD is limited, parent-teen communication about alcohol use has been found to be protective. Other approaches, such as educational interventions, hold promise to reduce alcohol-related harms in adolescents with ADHD.

Purpose: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are tasked with integrating the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) to provide effective and efficient assessment and intervention services that best support clients and their families. As new research, technologies, and perspectives emerge, SLPs are required to adapt their clinical practices to meet these changes while maintaining high-quality evidence-based services. Through an illustrative case study, we aim to demonstrate the process of applying EBP principles - including research evidence, client and family perspectives, and clinical expertise - to a complexity-based speech sound intervention delivered via telepractice.

Introduction: People with schizophrenia spectrum disorders present with language dysfunctions, yet we know little about their use of reference markers (indefinite markers, definite markers, pronouns or names), a fundamental aspect of efficient speech production.
Methods: Twenty-five (25) participants with a recent-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SZ) and 25 healthy controls (HC) completed two referential communication tasks. The tasks involved presenting to an interaction partner a series of movie characters (character identification task) and movie scenes composed of six images (narration task).
Young Adult Perspectives on Treatment Engagement and Family Communication During Psychosis.
Early Interv Psychiatry
February 2025
Department of Psychiatry, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Fostering positive relationships with mental health professionals and involving family in treatment can reduce untreated psychosis duration and prevent dropout.
Aims: The present study explores the experiences of young adults with psychosis as they engage in mental health treatment and communicate with family caregivers. Describing their lived experiences would inform the clinical engagement process and pathways to clinical outcomes.
Exposure to Group B Streptococcus-induced chorioamnionitis alters the proteome of placental extracellular vesicles.
Placenta
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Electronic address:
Introduction: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is an opportunistic pathogen that can induce chorioamnionitis (CA), increasing the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in the offspring. The placenta facilitates maternal-fetal communication through the release of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which may carry inflammatory molecules such as interleukin (IL)-1. Although the role of EVs in immune modulation is well established, their specific characterization in the context of GBS-induced CA has not yet been investigated.
