Phonics training for English-speaking poor readers.

BACKGROUND: Around 5% of English speakers have a significant problem with learning to read words. Poor word readers are often trained to use letter-sound rules to improve their reading skills. This training is commonly called phonics. Well over 100 studies have administered some form of phonics training to poor word readers. However, there are surprisingly few systematic reviews or meta-analyses of these studies. The most well-known review was done by the National Reading Panel (Ehri 2001) 12 years ago and needs updating. The most recent review (Suggate 2010) focused solely on children and did

'Team Speech Sounds'-How Speech and Language Therapists Work With Parents of Young Children With Speech Sound Disorder: A Focus Group Study.

BACKGROUND: Speech sound disorder (SSD) is common amongst children on speech and language therapy caseloads, with most of these children being between 2 and 6 years old. SSD that persists into a child's school years can have a lasting impact on literacy development, socio-emotional outcomes and well-being. Effective intervention in the preschool years is therefore vital. Evidence shows speech and language therapists (SLT) believe working with parents is essential for a child's progress, and positive relationships between SLTs and parents facilitate engagement with home practice. However, littl

Working With School-Aged Children With Neurodisability and Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Who Require Mealtime Assistance: A Survey of Speech and Language Therapists' Clinical Practice.

BACKGROUND: School-aged children with neurodisability and oropharyngeal dysphagia who need mealtime assistance have an increased risk of premature death. Speech & Language Therapists (SLTs) provide assessment and recommendations to optimise mealtime nutrition and hydration, but little is known about current clinical practice including mealtime recommendation provision and carer adherence support strategies. Before developing any intervention, the context needs to be known. AIMS: This survey aimed to explore the practice of UK SLTs working with school-aged children with neurodisability and oro

Being a medical trainee in Greece: Aims and key aspects of the Greek Survey of Medical Work and Education.

Anyone reading this text has probably been a medical trainee once. What was your training like? More importantly, did anyone during your training ask you what your training was like? For example, did anyone ask you if you were satisfied with your training or if you worked a little or a lot? Probably not. The origin of medical specialty training is that of informal apprenticeship. The apprentice was grateful to the master for accepting him; there was no room for questions or disagreements. If you haven't read Somerset. Maugham's "Human Bondage" (he was medically trained himself), it is worth re

School-based education programmes for the prevention of unintentional injuries in children and young people.

BACKGROUND: Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death in children aged four to 18 years and are a major cause of ill health. The school setting offers the opportunity to deliver preventive interventions to a large number of children and has been used to address a range of public health problems. However, the effectiveness of the school setting for the prevention of different injury mechanisms in school-aged children is not well understood. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of school-based educational programmes for the prevention of injuries in children and evaluate their impact o

Experiences of infertility-related traumatic events and their association with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD: results from a mixed-methods online survey.

STUDY QUESTION: What are experiences of infertility-related traumatic events and are these associated with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (CPTSD)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Infertility-related trauma results from the interplay between a strong unfulfilled desire for children, negative reproductive events and (lack of) associated care, with 9% and 32% of those reporting a traumatic event meeting criteria for PTSD and CPTSD, respectively. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: There is worldwide recognition that fertility treatment is highly stressful, but limited understanding of it

Integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) strategy for children under five.

BACKGROUND: More than 7.5 million children younger than age five living in low- and middle-income countries die every year.
