This document discusses the need for more evidence-based research on the effects of hippotherapy on communication and language disorders in speech-language pathology. It provides a brief overview of hippotherapy and its recognized use by various therapy associations. Although limited research specifically examines impacts on speech and language, the literature from physical and occupational therapy demonstrates positive effects in areas like sensory integration and motor skills that relate to foundations for communication. These findings provide theoretical support for hippotherapy as an intervention approach in speech-language pathology by targeting domains like oral-motor function, respiration, and cognition, but more experimental research is still warranted.
This study surveyed 479 non-physician health professionals from 27 European countries about extended roles and innovative models of care in rheumatology. The survey found that 430 (92%) of respondents reported performing extended roles, though there was considerable variation between countries. Barriers to extended roles included attitudes of rheumatologists in most countries surveyed and lack of education and opportunities in several countries. The study provides the first data on extended roles and models of care for non-physician professionals in rheumatology across Europe. It recommends increasing education and addressing barriers to further develop extended roles.
This document discusses cerebral palsy, including an overview of the condition, causes, treatments, strategies for supporting students with cerebral palsy in the classroom, and advice from those living with the condition. Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects movement and muscle control. It is caused by issues during pregnancy or birth such as lack of oxygen, premature birth, or injury. Treatments include physical, occupational and speech therapy as well as alternative therapies. Teachers are advised to provide accommodations, allow assistive technologies, and not make assumptions about students' capabilities due to their condition.

Findings support the use of non-standardized testing for measuring outcomes of children with ASD. Also noted are the various methods for delivering hippotherapy services.
This document provides information about cerebral palsy (CP), including:
1. CP is a motor function disorder caused by permanent, non-progressive brain lesions present at birth or shortly after. It causes a lack of muscle control and balance issues.
2. CP has various causes like developmental malformations, neurological damage before/during/after birth from issues like lack of oxygen.
3. There are four main types of CP defined by affected movements: spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed. Spastic CP is the most common.
4. Treatment aims to improve motor skills and independence through therapies, surgeries, medications, assistive devices, and family support
The document discusses whether oral muscles like the tongue can be strengthened through exercise and whether stronger articulators lead to more accurate speech articulation. It notes that while exercises can strengthen the tongue, the relationship between strength and coordination is complex. The document outlines the overload principle of how muscles get stronger through microtears and satellite cell proliferation. It also distinguishes between strength and coordination, noting coordination refers to motor unit organization. The document reviews evidence both for and against the use of non-speech oral motor exercises to treat speech sound disorders, finding the evidence inconclusive.

This study examined the effects of a Motor Speech Treatment Protocol (MSTP) on five children ages 3;2 to 3;5 with severe to profound speech sound disorders and motor speech difficulties. The MSTP integrated concepts from PROMPT and DTTC motor speech therapies and principles of motor learning. Children received 45-minute individual therapy sessions twice per week for 10 weeks. Outcome measures included visual and auditory ratings of speech accuracy on probe words, as well as standardized speech intelligibility assessments. Results showed significant improvements in speech accuracy and motor control for all children except one, indicating the MSTP may positively impact speech production for children with developmental motor speech disorders.
The document discusses using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) to assess orofacial strength in orthodontic cases. The IOPI is a reliable tool for evaluating structures like the tongue. While no articles reviewed used the IOPI specifically in orthodontics, its ability to measure tongue strength suggests it could be applicable. The document proposes procedures for using the IOPI to measure tongue strength, endurance, and lateralization in orthodontic patients. This would allow comparison of values before and after treatments like myofunctional therapy to objectively measure improvements.
This document discusses low public and healthcare awareness of aphasia. An international survey found only 14% of the public had heard of aphasia, and just 5% had basic knowledge. A similar New Zealand study found awareness rates of 11% among the public and 68% among healthcare workers, but only 21% had basic knowledge. The document outlines a current research project exploring perspectives of people with aphasia on primary healthcare services through focus groups. It is predicted people with aphasia will report more negative experiences due to low awareness of aphasia among general practitioners.
This document discusses a study that found children with cerebral palsy (CP) have smaller vowel spaces acoustically than their typically developing (TD) peers. The smaller vowel spaces in CP may be due to movement deficits that decrease intelligibility. The study also found that larger oral openings, as measured by oral area index (OAI), are associated with greater vowel contrast and improved intelligibility. However, the relationship between OAI and vowel space differs between children with CP and TD peers, with changes in mouth shape having a more pronounced effect on vowel contrast for those with CP due to their reduced tongue control. Children with CP and high OAIs can compensate for this with greater lip and jaw movements, while those with low O

1. The document discusses a study that evaluated a treatment package for reducing vocal stereotypy in a preschooler with autism. The package included a social story, discrimination training, and differential reinforcement with response cost.
2. The treatment was implemented in the child's preschool classroom by teachers and assistants. Results showed a clear decrease in vocal stereotypy compared to baseline.
3. The summary concludes that the treatment package was effective at reducing vocal stereotypy for this student in the classroom setting.
This document discusses autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its relationship to taste, eating behaviors, cognitive function, and synaptic plasticity. It notes that ASD is characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication. Selective or "picky" eating is common in ASD patients and may lead to nutritional issues. Studies have found aberrant reactivity to taste in ASD patients, linked to dysfunction in brain regions involved in taste processing like the thalamus and insula. Impaired synaptic pruning during development is also seen in ASD and associated with cognitive deficits from abnormal excitation-inhibition balance. While cognitive profiles can vary, some research even hypothesizes a link between brain anomalies in ASD and heightened cognitive abilities
Joanne L. Northcutt, Ph.D. provides her resume and contact information. She has 17 scholarly publications in peer-reviewed journals related to pediatric health outcomes, quality of life measures, clinical trials of medications for conditions like ADHD and cancer, and adherence to treatment regimens for illnesses such as HIV/AIDS. Her research focuses on developing and validating methods and tools for assessing health-related quality of life in children and adolescents.
This thesis examines how expertise develops in osteopathic diagnostic palpation. Six studies were conducted to investigate how cognitive processing and use of the visual and haptic sensory systems change with experience. The results suggest that expertise is associated with more efficient multisensory integration facilitated by mental imagery. Experts rely more on top-down non-analytical processing compared to students who rely primarily on bottom-up sensory processing. Ongoing training and clinical practice likely lead to neurocognitive changes in clinicians. The thesis proposes a model of expertise development with implications for osteopathic education.

This document discusses the importance of handwriting in the 21st century and provides strategies to incorporate movement, music, affect, and visual-spatial supports into handwriting instruction. Research shows that handwriting activates areas of the brain involved in reading and impacts academic performance. Sensory experiences and meaningful contexts facilitate learning and memory formation. Movement supports learning through increased brain activation, BDNF production, and stress reduction. Integrating these elements can help all students, including those with special needs, develop strong handwriting skills.
This document discusses diagnosis and assessment of apraxia of speech. It describes two quantitative approaches for diagnosing the severity of apraxia of speech that were examined in a study. The study evaluated 59 participants, 39 with aphasia, using a motor speech evaluation and audio recordings. Scores from clinicians showed high reliability and validity based on correlations with independent clinical diagnosis and judgements of severity. The Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale was also developed as a descriptive rather than diagnostic tool but was found to also be useful for differential diagnosis.

This document discusses autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including its definition, prevalence rates in different countries, and treatment approaches. The prevalence of ASD was higher in Denmark (65.8 per 10,000 children) compared to Western Australia (41.1 per 10,000) and Japan (3 per 1,000 children). Applied behavior analysis and various therapies are used to treat ASD, while medications can help reduce associated behaviors. Occupational therapists, speech therapists, and nurses all play roles in assessing and supporting individuals with ASD to improve skills and manage behaviors. While the cause of ASD remains unknown, early diagnosis and treatment can help those affected live quality lives.
This systematic review examined the effects of intensity of treatment and constraint-induced language therapy (CILT) for individuals with stroke-induced aphasia. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria of investigating intensity or CILT for measures of language impairment or communication ability. The studies were evaluated for methodological quality and classified by research stage. For chronic aphasia, studies provided modest evidence for more intensive treatment and the positive effects of CILT on language and communication outcomes. One study of high-intensity treatment for acute aphasia also reported positive effects, but no studies examined CILT for acute aphasia. The results were considered preliminary due to the limited evidence. More high-quality research is needed to draw firm conclusions about treatment intensity

This document summarizes 15 studies that investigated the relationship between occlusal factors and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It describes the studies' subjects, populations, whether a relationship was found, and what occlusal parameters were related to TMD in positive association studies. 9 of the 15 studies found a positive relationship between occlusal factors like crossbites, occlusal interferences, overjet, and TMD symptoms. However, 6 studies did not find such a relationship. The document concludes that while some studies have found links between occlusion and TMD, the etiology of TMD is multifactorial, and no simple cause-and-effect relationship exists.

This document summarizes 15 studies that investigated the relationship between occlusal factors and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It describes the studies' subjects, populations, whether a relationship was found, and what occlusal parameters were related to TMD in positive association studies. 9 of the 15 studies found a positive relationship between occlusal factors like crossbites, occlusal interferences, overjet, and TMD symptoms. However, 6 studies did not find such a relationship. The document concludes that while some studies have found links between occlusion and TMD, the etiology of TMD is multifactorial, and no simple cause-and-effect relationship exists.

Introduction
According to the American Hippotherapy
Association (AHA), hippotherapy refers to the use
of the horse as a treatment strategy by physical
therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs),
and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to
address body structure, function, activity
restrictions, and participation limitations in clients
(2013). Currently, hippotherapy is being used in 24
different countries and is recognized by the
American Physical Therapy Association, American
Occupational Therapy Association, and the
American Speech Language and Hearing
Association (AHA, 2000). In hippotherapy, the
client is affected by the multi-dimensional
movements of the horse by sitting on the horse’s
back (Macauley & Gutierrez, 2004). Research in
the fields of PT and OT have found hippotherapy
to be effective for individuals who have a wide
range of disabilities, including autism spectrum
disorder, cerebral palsy, cerebrovascular accident
stroke, developmental delay, Down syndrome,
multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord
injuries, and traumatic brain injuries (Granados &
Agís, 2011). However, limited evidence-based
literature is found on the effects of hippotherapy on
communication and language disorders.

Three boys with language learning disabilities
received one hour of hippotherapy for a total of
six weeks (Macauley & Gutierrez, 2004).
Parent questionnaires reported improvement in
the children’s receptive and expressive
language abilities, as well as their motivation,
attention, and self-concept as a result of
hippotherapy. The authors expressed the need
for further research in this area.

Conclusions
Benefits of hippotherapy found in the OT and PT literature show positive effects in areas responsible for
physical, cognitive, and social functions needed for speech and language. Hippotherapy led to
improvements in sensory integration, postural control, head and trunk stability, motor skills, social
participation, respiratory function, cognitive skills, self-esteem and receptive communication improvement,
specifically multi-step directions in individuals with various disorders. These results are applicable to the
field of speech-language pathology. It should be noted that the majority of the literature showing the
benefits of hippotherapy were case studies that used qualitative measures rather than experimental. More
experimental studies need to be completed in order to show evidence of the positive effects of
hippotherapy in the area of speech and language.
