Home environment questionnaire.

Psychometric and normative data are presented for two forms of the Home Environment Questionnaire (HEQ) that provide measures of 10 variables used to describe the psychosocial environments of children. One form, HEQ-2R, is suitable for use with families in which there are two parents; the other form, HEQ-1R, is for use with one-parent families. The HEQ scales are relatively independent and not significantly related to the age of the target child, and most of the scales are reasonably internally consistent. Previous research has found several of the HEQ scales to be significantly related to several dimensions of children's clinically important behavior.

Predictive measures of speech proficiency in cerebral palsied speakers.

The present study attempted to investigate the relationship between judged speech proficiency of cerebral palsied speakers and the following quantitative speech parameters: 1) the number of articulatory errors; 2) the intelligibility of the speech of the cerebral palsied; 3) mean vocal fundamental frequency; 4) variation of vocal fundamental frequency; 5) mean speech-sound pressure level; 6) variation of speech-sound pressure level; 7) word-per-minute speech rate. Secondarily, the study investigated the differences in the speech of the spastic and athetoid populations in terms of the parameters listed above.

Description of a team approach to the rehabilitation of the laryngectomized speaker.

This article describes the multi-disciplinary approach to rehabilitation of the laryngectomee followed by the Michigan Cancer Foundation-Wayne State University Laryngectomee Clinic. The program serves a patient population in excess of 100 each year in a total rehabilitation paradigm. The rehabilitation effort centers around an intensive speech rehabilitation program encompassing as much as 10 hours of speech therapy per week. This effort is supplemented by a professional staff including a psychologist, social work staff, audiologist, public health nurse, vocational rehabilitation specialist, and atrained laryngectomized esophageal speech teacher. The contribution of each member of the team and the benefits of a unified approach are described.
