Experiences and perceptions of school-based SLPs (Bridges & Kelley, 2023)
No full textPurpose: School-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) play an important role in supporting children with reading and writing difficulties. The purpose of this study was to describe the training, experiences, and knowledge of SLPs who work in preschool, elementary school, or middle/high school settings in relation to children with reading and writing difficulties.
Method: Preschool and school-based SLPs (N = 280) participated in an online survey, with items related to preservice and in-service training experiences, experiences and perceptions of competence related to reading and writing assessment and instruction with students on their caseload, and knowledge of reading and writing.
Results: The majority of respondents reported limited preservice coursework and clinical training experiences with students with reading and writing difficulties. Many SLPs reported that more than half of the students on their caseload had reading and writing difficulties, but many SLPs (approximately 40%) had poor confidence in their abilities in assessment and intervention with children with reading and writing difficulties.
Conclusions: Nearly all SLPs indicated that they would benefit from additional training and experience with children with reading and writing difficulties. We provide some initial suggestions for graduate coursework, clinical training experiences, and tailored professional development.

Morphological assessment considerations (Nelson-Strouts & Bridges, 2024)
No full textPurpose: Morphological awareness develops throughout formal schooling and is positively related to later reading abilities. However, there are limited standardized measures available for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to use when assessing morphological awareness in clinical practice. The purpose of this tutorial is to guide clinicians in choosing between researcher-created measures of morphological awareness to use with their school-aged students.Method: We first summarize previous morphological awareness assessment research and outline important clinical considerations when choosing a morphological awareness assessment for students in early elementary grades and beyond. Second, we highlight item characteristics regarding morpheme type, frequency, shift transparency, and imageability for students in early elementary versus later grades. Third, we discuss the type of tasks (i.e., production, decomposition, and judgment) and administration modes (i.e., oral or written and static or dynamic) available to clinicians assessing the morphological awareness skills of school-aged students. Throughout the tutorial, we reference a hypothetical case study to illustrate how SLPs might apply these suggestions and link morphological awareness assessment to treatment recommendations.Conclusions: This tutorial highlights the importance of including morphological awareness assessments in clinical practice to support oral and written language development. We provide practical guidelines to help SLPs evaluate and choose appropriate morphological awareness assessments for their school-aged students as part of their comprehensive language evaluations and to support intervention planning.Supplemental Material S1.

The Center Manifold
No full textAfter receiving a UM forestry degree in 1955, Al Kelley earned a doctoral degree in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley in 1963. He joined the mathematics department at UC-Santa Cruz in 1966. He worked as a smokejumper during summers while attending UM and made his first trip to California in 1954, landing by parachute to fight a fire there. He also worked as a forester in Oregon and as a U.S. Air Force radar officer. While teaching at Berkeley in 1964, Kelley discovered and named the center manifold, and he was among the first to recognize the importance of computers in mathematical research. He is the co-author of three widely used college textbooks on the C programming language.
Kelley is returning to campus to receive a 2007 Distinguished Alumni Award from the UM Alumni Association. In this talk he will discuss the center manifold as well as his journey from forestry to mathematics to computer science

[Review of] Rosalio Moises, Jane Holden Kelley, and William Curry Holden. A Yaqui Life: The Personal Chronicle of a Yaqui Indian
No full textThe search for an untouched Native voice in American Indian autobiography, both experientially and stylistically, has proven as elusive as the search for the untouched Native. In the case of A Yaqui Life, it is precisely the of the native author\u27s interaction-personal, literary, military, economic, religious, and familial-that makes the work both fascinating and significant. So, too, the text as a product of the interactions between the various authors enhances its ethnographic and historic significance. In 1954, at the suggestion of the anthropologist W. C. Holden, the core of the work was penned by Rosalio Moises, a Yaqui who lived from 1896 until 1969. Holden\u27s daughter, Jane Holden Kelley, later edited the text and amplified the material through interviews with Moisés concerning his written text. This personal chronicle thus bridges the gap between autobiography and ethnography
On the contribution of demographic change to aggregate poverty measures for the developing world
No full textRecent literature and new data help determine plausible bounds to some key demographic differences between the poor and non-poor in the developing world. The author estimates that selective mortality-whereby poorer people tend to have higher death rates-accounts for 10-30 percent of the developing world's trend rate of"$1 a day"poverty reduction in the 1990s. However, in a neighborhood of plausible estimates, differential fertility-whereby poorer people tend also to have higher birth rates-has had a more than offsetting poverty-increasing effect. The net impact of differential natural population growth represents 10-50 percent of the trend rate of poverty reduction.Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Services&Transfers to Poor,Safety Nets and Transfers,Rural Poverty Reduction,Health Indicators
