The City Under COVID-19: Podcasting As Digital Methodology.

This critical commentary reflects on a rapidly mobilised international podcast project, in which 25 urban scholars from around the world provided audio recordings about their cities during COVID-19. New digital tools are increasing the speeds, formats and breadth of the research and communication mediums available to researchers.

Childhood apraxia of speech: children at risk for persistent reading and spelling disorder.

This article discusses written language development in children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS).
