“…It is also a meaningful factor in involving parents in therapy and raising their awareness of its importance. [14][15][16][17] Preliminary research on the effectiveness of the application showed differences in the process of acquiring language skills depending on group affiliation. The result was obtained both in the time interval of 1-6 weeks and after 12 weeks of the intervention -the relationship concerned all analyzed groups.…”

Introduction and aim. Computer techniques are increasingly used in speech therapy. The aim of the work is to present the results of the preliminary evaluation of the new “Talk To Me” application and its functionality in the treatment of speech development delays. Material and methods. The study was conducted in 3 groups of children: the study group with the use of the “Talk To Me” application, the conventional therapy group and the control group - in the case of both groups with the intervention, additional reinforcements were used. All children included in the project showed delays in speech development. The recorded age of children in all analyzed groups ranged from 2 to 6 years. In order to verify language progress, the Scale of Language Skills Acquisition in the Field of Communication Competence was used. Results. Acquisition of language skills varies depending on the group affiliation. The analysis of simple main effects for the time of measurement showed that in each group the differences between successive measurements turned out to be significant. In the study group, the increase in language skills differs from the other two groups (p<0.001). However, there is no difference between the groups with conventional and control therapy (p=1.00). Conclusion. Analysis of the research results allows us to conclude that the “Talk To Me” application is a tool that significantly affects the speed of therapy progress in the case of speech development delays concerning communicative competence.

“…Results from this study suggest that vocal hygiene education can enhance children’s voice care knowledge. Marcus et al [27] provided encouraging findings that gaining knowledge about vocal hygiene can impact on their voice care practice. In their study, preschoolers received 4 half-hour sessions on voice production anatomy and physiology, and alternative strategies for phonotraumatic behavior of yelling.…”

Objective: This study investigated the effects of a school-based vocal hygiene education program “Green Voice for School” on promoting knowledge of healthy voice use for primary school students. Methods: Thirty-nine grade 4 and 5 students from local primary schools participated in the “Green Voice for School” program. Students received 6 weekly vocal hygiene training sessions with the aim of enhancing their voice care knowledge. Their voice care knowledge was assessed by a 15-item questionnaire. Students’ voice care knowledge was examined before training, immediately after, and 1 year after completion of the program. Results: Students showed significant improvements in their voice care knowledge immediately after they received the vocal hygiene training sessions. Such improvements were maintained 1 year after the students completed training. Conclusions: The results suggest that “Green Voice for School”, a school-based vocal hygiene education program, can be effective in promoting long-term improvements of voice care knowledge in school-age children.

“…12 As suggested in a companion article in this issue of Seminars, school-aged children who exhibit hoarseness may have a medical pathology or have established unhealthy voicing patterns before or during their preschool years. 13 It is interesting to note that one of the most common forms of "phonotraumatic behaviors" leading to voice disorders in children is yelling. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] It is also a very noticeable sign of conflict in young children.…”

Talk It Out was developed by speech-language pathologists to teach young children, especially those with speech and language impairments, to recognize problems, use words to solve them, and verbally negotiate solutions. One of the very successful by-products is that these same strategies help children avoid harming their voice. Across a school year, Talk It Out provides teaching and practice in predictable contexts so that children become competent problem solvers. It is especially powerful when implemented as part of the tier 1 preschool curriculum. The purpose of this article is to help school-based speech-language pathologists (1) articulate the need and rationale for early implementation of conflict resolution programs, (2) develop practical skills to implement Talk It Out strategies in their programs, and (3) transfer this knowledge to classroom teachers who can use and reinforce these strategies on a daily basis with the children they serve.
