The `poster` folder contains the Powerpoint source of the poster as well

as pdf and png versions of it.

I submitted to the conference.

Abstract

------------------------------------------------------------------------

> **Intelligibility in multiword utterances in children with cerebral

> palsy**

> 

> Children with cerebral palsy (CP) commonly have speech-motor disorder

> (dysarthria). Intelligibility measures the degree to which a listener

> can recover a speaker’s intended message, so it provides a measure of

> how functional a child’s speech is for communication. We examined

> growth in intelligibility in multiword utterances for 65 children with

> CP from age 2 to age 8. We also compared how developmental

> trajectories differed across three speech-language profile groups: no

> speech-motor impairment, speech-motor impairment with typical language

> comprehension, and speech-motor impairment with impaired language

> comprehension. Children with CP showed highly variable growth

> patterns, but speech-language profiles captured some developmental

> similarities. Children without dysarthria reached a higher estimated

> intelligibility and showed their window of fastest growth a year

> earlier than their peers with dysarthria. Children with dysarthria and

> language impairment had noisier measurements and probably had lower

> intelligibility attainments than their peers with typical

> comprehension. Implications for assessment and treatment planning are

> discussed. Research supported by NIDCD R01 DC009411 and NICHD U54
