The Woodcock-Johnson IV
Tests of Oral Language
The WJ IVTM Tests of Oral Language provide important contemporary
measures of oral language abilities including phonetic coding and speed
of lexical access, as well as providing a measure of Cognitive-Academic
Language Proficiency (CALP).
Using the WJ IV Tests of Oral Language:
Provides important information about phonological
processing through a new segmentation test
Increases sensitivity for diagnostic decision-making
utilizing patterns of strengths and weaknesses (PSW)
Offers a unique comparison of oral language
comprehension, in English or Spanish, to levels
of academic achievement

This years Convention brings so many opportunities for that transformative growth, and I cant begin
to list them all. So I want to encourage you to spend some time right away, browsing through this
program book, referring to the Program Planner app, and seeking the counsel of colleagues and staff
to make sure you are blazing your own personal trail to the best and most effective experience you
have ever had at an ASHA Conventionor at any convention, for that matter! Explore the sessions,
the posters, the exhibits, the special events. Connect with colleagues. Make new friends. And, most of
all, be prepared to step outside your comfort zone. After all, trailblazing is not for the faint of heart!
In closing, I want to thank all of my colleagues on the Convention Program Committee and the 2015
Convention Team for all of the hard work and planning that it takes to bring these opportunities to
life. The Program Committee has really set the stage for a great Convention, and set the bar very high
for the rest of us. Dr. Seuss, another of my favorites, perhaps said it best:
And so, here we are again, 47 years later, with the theme of Changing Minds. Changing Lives.
Leading the Way. In fact, its almost as though were bookending our previous visit to Denver. We
changed minds in 1968. We changed lives. And we have certainly led the way. Although we still
have a ways to go, there can be no doubt that we have blazed a trail in terms of culture change
and addressing the social challenges that we faced in 1968. So, where does that leave us? What are
todays challenges, and are we prepared to meet them head-on, as we did in the past? The world has
become an even more complicated place to live and work since 1968and, make no mistake, we
face challenges today that are equally imposing as the previous ones. Thats why we are gathering
here in Denverto learn, discuss, innovate, and grow, in preparation for making a transformative
impact on our communities, in the professions, and yes, in our world.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not.
Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
Lets honor our history in Denver and reach new heights together, as we change minds, change lives,
and lead the way!
We are glad you are here with us in Denver, and we hope you enjoy this years trailblazing Convention.
Thank you for your support and for your daily commitment to Changing Minds. Changing Lives. Leading
the Way for the benefit of the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology and the students,
patients, and clients we serve.

Children
The ASHA Convention is a professional
development event and is not intended
to be inclusive of children. Due to safety
and liability issues, children under age 18
are not permitted in the Exhibit Hall and
strollers are not permitted in the Exhibit
Hall or in session rooms. Due to space
limitations and the potential for disruption
in session rooms, as well as safety issues
should overcrowding occur, the presence
of children in education sessions is
discouraged. ASHA does not provide child
care services. Your hotel concierge may be
able to provide information about on-site
child care services or other local options for
child care.
See the Personal Consideration Room
section for information for nursing mothers.

presented at the annual convention of the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association, Denver, CO.
Substitute Poster for Seminar, if the session is a Poster Presentation.

volunteers, Convention Center staff, and ASHA staff, and to behave

Posters must remain in place all day; at the end of each day, all
posters are to be removed from the poster boards in preparation
for the next day. Posters must be taken down within 30 minutes of
the conclusion of the last Poster Session of the day.
We recommend that you test your files while in the Speaker Ready
Room to make sure all fonts, images, and animations appear
as expected, that audio or video clips play properly, and that
everything runs smoothly. If the files do not work properly in the
Speaker Ready Room, they will not work in the session room either.
Speaker Ready Room technicians can work with you to make sure
your presentation is error free.
Once you have reviewed and approved your final presentation, it
will be transmitted to the computer in your scheduled presentation
room by the Speaker Ready Room technicians.
The Speaker Ready Room process ensures that presentations are
problem free and allows us to network session rooms so that the
presentation audio can be easily transmitted into overflow rooms
for at-capacity sessions. Your participation is critical to our success.

This session is developed by, and presenters invited by the
Colorado Speech-Language-Hearing Association (CSHA).
Speech and resonance therapy related to cleft palate requires
understanding of: the structures contributing to oral speech
development; how structural differences impact the approach
to intervention; and the surgical timeline for secondary surgical
management in the presence of velopharyngeal insufficiency.
Direct therapy techniques and evaluation tools will be provided.

Presented by: Jose Centeno, St. Johns U
This session is developed by, and presenters invited by the
Colorado Speech-Language-Hearing Association (CSHA). The
combined effect of steady demographic and epidemiological
factors in the country will continue to impact on adult
neurorehabilitation programs, particularly in the number of
bilingual individuals. In this course, we will discuss the evidence,
theoretical principles, and clinical procedures for the personalized
clinical management of bilingual persons with aphasia.

Traumatic Brain Injury. Concussion research has changed
dramatically.This session will: 1) highlight why students on SLP
caseloads are particularly vulnerable to concussion; 2) dispel
myths including brain rest and Second Impact Syndrome;
and 3) differentiate profiles of traumatic versus sport-related
concussion. We will address how clinicians may inadvertently
prolong symptomatology and guidelines implementing
active rehabilitation.

Longer and more complex utterances result in higher disfluency rates and greater
variability in speech movements in children who stutter; and they require more verbal

Previously, we reported that modulation of the auditory system during speech planning
is limited in stuttering adults. Here, we show that this limitation is part of a more
general problem with making auditory predictions: stuttering adults also show limited
modulation prior to hearing their own speech being played back offline.

The FLUSTER model is a novel framework for organizing and advancing knowledge
of stuttering. The central prediction is that pre-speech conditions shift the person
who stutters into an error region that increases the probability of stuttering. Further
predictions and EEG data are offered to account for clinical features of stuttering.

Twenty typical speakers produced //, /a/, and /a/. Tongue, lip, and jaw
movements were recorded with an electromagnetic tracking system and analyzed to
determine which were most predictive of formant trajectories. Preliminary findings
suggest the contribution of the lips and jaw to the acoustic signal is greater than

This study investigated the impact of the electrical stimulations of subthalamic deepbrain stimulation on different measures of vocalic transition, and on speech intelligibility
for participants with Parkinsons disease. Mixed results were found regarding the impact
of the stimulations, but relationships were found between vocalic transition measures
and intelligibility ratings.

Children with persistent speech sound disorders exhibit difficulty with speech sound
production. While the cause is unknown, we are learning more about the related
subsystems that may be affected. In the present study, we describe the vocabulary,
reading, perception, memory, and attention skills of children with speech sound
disorders.

The relationship between bolus driving pressures and bolus residue has not been
defined. Thirty-seven participants with swallowing disorders were evaluated under
videofluoroscopy and high-resolution manometry, grouped and analyzed according to
stasis and tongue retraction ratings on VFSS. Findings suggest there are multiple factors
that contribute to reduced vallecular clearance.

Differences in timing of cortical activation between right and left primary sensory and

functional near infrared spectroscopy. An early sensory response occurred on the left
side only, possibly indicating that the left hemisphere is involved in oral preparation for
swallowing.

The Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale reliably determines residue location
(vallecula and pyriform sinus) and amount (none, trace, mild, moderate, and severe).
It was developed, standardized, and validated to provide anatomically-defined, imagebased assessment of post-swallow pharyngeal residue severity as observed during
fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES).

Poster S essions
Poster presentations are an excellent mechanism to facilitate the
rapid communication of scientific ideas. Viewers visually guide
themselves through the basics of the study displayed on the poster
board, while the presenter focuses on explanation and clarification
of the key elements of the work and answers viewer questions. The
poster presentation format is less formal and more interactive than
an Oral Seminar, because it provides the opportunity for viewers
to engage in discussion and to have one-on-one interactions
with both fellow viewers and the presenter. Each day of the ASHA
Convention, hundreds of posters are on display covering topics
relevant to virtually all professional interests.
