Following the lead of Joe Duffy (2016), I started asking graduate students in my motor speech disorders classes to imagine (a) what their clinical practice will look like in 10 years and (b) how technology will affect clinical practice. Invariably, these discussions include some version of artificial intelligence (AI) such as “Will robots replace speech-language […]
Introduction: Exposure to maternal speech during the prenatal period shapes speech perception and linguistic preferences, allowing neonates to recognize stories heard frequently in utero and demonstrating an enhanced preference for their mother’s voice and native language.

Having anywhere from one to four hours of screen time per day at age 1 is linked with higher risks of developmental delays in […]

A new study from MIT and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University sheds light on how this gene controls the ability to produce speech. In a study of mice, […]
