Speech-language therapy is based upon individualized goals and objectives. Each child’s learning rate is different and therefore, a specific time period of therapy cannot be predicted.
The first 3 years of life, when the brain is developing and maturing, is the most intensive period for acquiring speech and language skills. These skills develop best in a world that is rich with sounds, sights, and consistent exposure to the speech and language of others.
There appear to be critical periods for speech and language development in infants and young children when the brain is best able to absorb language. If these critical periods are allowed to pass without exposure to language, it will be more difficult to learn.

It is shown that at least 2-3% kids born with communication disability and most of those infants have speech and language disorder.
All the parent know their own child behavior and compare them with other kids or their own sibling. Every child is different and also learn skills differently at his or her pace. However, the normal range for speech and language development depends on your child’s ability to understand and learn a language. There are many factors that play role in his development like surrounding environment, whether or not your kid is exposed to other people interaction. A difficulty in communication can also be a sign of autism.

Procedural Memory in Children with Autism Double Dissociationijtsrd
Autism, which involves persistent deficits in social communication and behavioral flexibility, has been increasingly prevalent in recent years. Although considerable research on language in autism has focused on pragmatic impairments, few researchers have attempted to identify the link between memory and language impairments. Walenski, Tager Flusberg, and Ullman 2006 hypothesized that procedural memory deficit leads to grammatical impairments. Due to dearth of studies examining procedural memory across varied output modalities, the present investigation was planned. Thus, the main aim of this study was to investigate procedural memory across phonological and orthographic domains in children with autism. Ten children with high functioning autism aged from 7 17 years and typical controls were recruited as participants in the present study. Test for Examining Expressive Morphology Shipley, Stone and Sue, 1983 , consisting of true words, was used to investigate whether intact declarative memory takes over the function in the clinical group by correctly inflecting the target word verbally. In addition, Wug Test Berko, 1958 was administered to examine non word inflections in both clinical and control groups. Sentence completion tasks for both spoken and written modalities were administered to individual participants in a sound treated room. The findings of the the present study indicate that the clinical group obtained good scores on true word verbal tasks since they stored the word with suffixes as a whole unit in their relatively spared declarative memory. However, since non words are not stored in declarative memory, verbal performance of the clinical group on Wug Test was found to be impaired. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference between the two groups on non word tasks in orthographic modality. This suggests that orthographic procedural memory is spared although the phonological counterpart is impaired in children with autism. Thus, double dissociation of written and spoken language processes in procedural memory is hypothesized. The potential implication of the present study is that procedural memory training using intact orthographic modality could enhance learning of morphological rules in children with autism. However, future studies on larger sample size across the spectrum is recommended to establish clinical implications.

Language acquisition entails the acquisition of several crucial linguistic components like phonology, morphology, syntax
and semantics. Individual elements merge seamlessly with each other giving birth to insightful communication whenever
needed. Among these varied but fundamental aspects necessary for any competent communicator, is adding on the vital aspect of tense marking
appropriately into conversations or text rendering accurately when an event occurred or will occur. We must appreciate this pivotal role played by
acquiring uency in using verb tenses by young children seeking effective communication alongside understanding its importance a bit more in
the language development process. The study attempts to investigate the acquisition of tense markers in typical children speaking Hindi with the
goal of assessing data from children in the age range of 6-8 years. Results suggested that tense markers increased with age. Almost half of the tense
markers were not fully acquired by the age of 8 years. The research also analysed various studies that uphold the ndings.
Language-impaired preschoolers: A follow-up into adolescence.Dorothy Bishop

ABSTRACT: This paper reports a longitudinal follow-up of 71 adolescents with a preschool history of speech-language impairment, originally studied by Bishop and Edmundson (1987). These children had been subdivided at 4 years into those with nonverbal IQ 2 SD below the mean (General Delay group), and those with normal nonverbal intelligence (SLI group). At age 5;6 the SLI group was subdivided into those whose language problems had resolved, and those with persistent SLI. The General Delay group was also followed up. At age 15-16 years, these children were compared with age-matched normal-language controls on a battery of tests of spoken language and literacy skills. Children whose language problems had resolved did not differ from controls on tests of vocabulary and language comprehension skills. However, they performed significantly less well on tests of phonological processing and literacy skill. Children who still had significant language difficulties at 5;6 had significant impairments in all aspects of spoken and written language functioning, as did children classified as having a general delay. These children fell further and further behind their peer group in vocabulary growth over time.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Visual memory:
Visual memory is the ability to recall information that has been presented
visually; for immediate recall (4-5 seconds) all of the details of a visual item
and being able to find this from a selection of items.
This involves being able to hold a mental picture of a sequence of letters,
numbers, words, objects, shapes etc.
Problems in this area may mean difficulties with remembering the correct
sequences of letters which make up words or sentences.
3. Blair’s study by far is the most frequent cited investigation in this area.
His results are summarized in table 8-1
Blair’s (1957) comprehensive study of visual memory
in deaf children
Hypothesis: was that he would find evidence of sensory compensation in the deaf children.
Deaf children were expected to have augmented Visio-spatial abilities leading to better visual short
term memory performance than their hearing age mates, a finding earlier reported by (Mott 1899).

4.
5. Blair reported that deaf children’s performance significantly surpassed that of
their hearing peers only on the knox cube test and the memory for designs test.
the experimenter taps a sequence on a set of four small cubes, and the
child attempts to reproduce the sequence.
• Knot cube test
involves a series of 13 individual geometric figures, each one viewed for
2 seconds before the subject is asked to draw it.
• Memory for designs test
6. Blair's findings on all four of the memory span tasks the hearing controls scored
significantly higher than the deaf students.
Blair argued that visual memory does not differ in deaf (compared to hearing)
children, but that deaf children are inferior on “abstract” or “conceptual” tasks.
Because he assumed that memory span “involves the mental integration of a
series of different yet related units into a meaningful sequence… so that the
sequence could be accurately reproduced… which is an abstract type of mental
process”, whereas the other tasks involved visual perceptual acts.
7. The children with hearing-impairment scores were significantly higher on the
non-word recall task than the "real" word recall task.
They also exhibited significantly higher scores on visual working memory
than those of the age-matched sample from the standardized memory
assessment.
Deaf children are good at:
8. What affects the performance of the deaf ?
What mainly affects the performance of the deaf with respect to normal
hearing children is the type of task employed in the visual memory studies.
Difficulties for subjects who are deaf or hard of hearing often arise with
stimuli that promote verbal coding of information, which can include
nameable objects, numbers and tasks requiring serial order memory
9. On a test of visual memory requiring subjects to draw one or more geometric
figures from memory, found no main effect or interaction between children who
were deaf or hard of hearing and those with typical hearing.
In contrast, when these same subjects were shown cards displaying a sequence of
digits—stimuli which lend themselves to verbal coding—and then required to
reproduce the sequence on a piece of paper, the results revealed a significantly
shorter memory span by the deaf or hard of hearing subjects.
Parasnis (1996):
10. Results from these studies point to a possible failure to employ a verbal rehearsal
strategy to aid the memory process.
the nature of visual stimuli seemed to affect performance by subjects who were deaf or
hard of hearing, with verbal stimuli being remembered less readily.
Similar results emerged in a study of adults who were deaf and who had typical hearing,
all of whom were fluent users of Australian Sign Language. The group with typical
hearing performed significantly better on both free and serial recall tasks with verbal
stimuli presented as written words or signs.
Australian Study:
11. Result: Since the stimulus items could readily be coded as verbal
representations in memory, it is likely that the group with typical hearing
employed a speech-based rehearsal strategy.
Assessed short-term memory abilities along with receptive language abilities of
cochlear implant users and found that children using cochlear implants performed
more poorly than typically hearing peers on a picture sequence memory (leads
to verbal coding) task but not on a visual memory task requiring the imitation
of hand movements.
Dawson (2002):

Linguistic deficiency
Poorer performance by subjects
who were deaf or hard of hearing

13. Results: enhanced memory performance for shapes in signers results from visual skills acquired
through sign language use and deafness, irrespective of language background, leads to the use of
a visually based strategy for memory of difficult-to-describe items.

14. In Conclusion:
a. Blair: deaf children are good at tasks that involve visual perceptual acts whereas they are
relatively weak in memory span that involve abstract type of mental process.
b. The deaf are better at: visual working memory and non-word recall
c. Parasnis (1996): Stimuli that promote verbal coding of affects the performance of the deaf
negatively
d. Australian Study: Normal people verbal-rehearsal strategy to aid the memory process (deaf
fail to do it)
e. Dawson (2002): typical hearing employed a speech-based rehearsal strategy to aid the memory
process.
f. Sign language leads leads to the use of a visually based strategy for memory of difficult-to-
describe items.
