Vocal measures by sample length (McDaniel & Brady, 2022)
No full textPurpose: This study examines the effects of communication sample length on the reliability and convergent validity of six vocal measures for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with minimal verbal skills. The results are expected to inform recommendations for the length of communication samples for clinical and research purposes.
Method: Participants included 31 children with ASD (24 boys and seven girls; Mage = 6;7 [years;months], SD = 17 months) with minimal verbal skills. We coded six vocal measures that focus on vocalizations and early word productions from the Communication Complexity Scale (CCS) scripted administration protocol. To evaluate reliability of different sample lengths, we calculated intraclass correlation coefficients between the full CCS sample and 1-, 3-, 7-, 10-, and 20-min samples. To examine convergent validity, we calculated correlations between the six vocal measures for each sample length.
Results: When coded from 10-min samples from the beginning of the CCS, all of the vocal measures exhibit adequate reliability with the full CCS sample. Some vocal measures exhibit adequate reliability with samples as short as 3 min. For convergent validity, all of the correlations between the vocal measures exceed .40 and are statistically significant for the 10-min samples except for some of the correlations with the proportion of communicative vocalizations. Similar results were found for other sample lengths.
Conclusion: Findings support coding 10-min segments from the CCS scripted administration protocol to evaluate the vocal development skills of children with ASD with minimal verbal skills.

Remembering Carlton Rochell
No full textDr. Carlton C. Rochell, who served as Dean of Libraries at New York University (NYU) from 1976–1999, died in Nashville, TN, on Dec. 23 at the age of 85 after a brief illness.
Rochell came to NYU shortly after the University combined 38 separate collections into the dramatic new Philip Johnson-designed Elmer Holmes Bobst Library. He managed and integrated those disparate collections by introducing innovative technological solutions that became models for the nation. During his tenure, the library's collection size doubled, the book endowment grew 1,200 percent, and circulation of books and materials expenditures both tripled. Rochell asserted a leadership role that transformed the NYU Libraries into a world-class resource
Safe/Brave Spaces: Engaging Future Citizens through School Libraries
No full textAlthough schools have not routinely taught civics since the 1970s, a burgeoning movement to incorporate such studies into the curriculum is taking shape around the country. This movement opens doors for school librarians to engage students in new and innovative ways, bringing a diversity of future citizens safe (and brave) spaces where they have a voice, listen to each other, and share interests, concerns, and decision-making. If school librarians seize this important moment, they will create new opportunities for teaching the kind of critical thinking skills they have embraced for years. Undoubtedly, school libraries are well positioned to become critical actors in the kind of civic learning promoted by Levine and Kawashima-Ginsberg, just as they have traditionally prepared students to succeed in college and careers. But they must incorporate that 3rd “C”—citizenship, to ensure that tomorrow’s adults take an active role in the collective life of their communities and country, and not just their own individual pursuits. School libraries can make a marked difference in the civic mission of schools by reimagining learning spaces, convening civil public forums, fostering civic literacy, and building civic partnerships.Contract permits posting on repository.
