Summary: Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a motor speech disorder affecting the coordination of articulatory movements. The study focused on a case of pure AOS without aphasia and explored speech errors and their underlying neural correlates. The findings supported the dissociability of AOS and aphasia, and highlighted the role of the precentral gyrus and underlying white matter in articulatory coordination.

Summary: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impairs a child's ability to learn motor skills. This study found that children with DCD have reduced grey matter volume in the cerebellum, which is associated with poorer motor skills.

Summary: CAS patients showed significant differences in consonant accuracy during U-TAP testing compared to FAD and normal groups. The CAS group had significantly lower scores on the preschool Receptive-Expressive Language Scale compared to the other two groups.

Summary: This study compares the kinematic and acoustic spatiotemporal indices (STIs) in children with and without developmental language disorder (DLD). The results show that the acoustic STI exhibits higher variability in children with DLD compared to typically developing children. The kinematic and acoustic STIs demonstrate a moderate-to-strong correlation in two different linguistic tasks.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of CO-OP intervention on cerebellar volume in children with DCD. The results showed that children with DCD who received CO-OP intervention demonstrated improved motor outcomes and structural changes in the brain.

Summary: In order to examine the development of predictive processes, researchers designed a set of interceptive tasks in the form of interactive video games. These tasks involved interactions with a flying ball and measured spatio-temporal aspects of prediction. The results showed that predictive ability improved with age and reached adult level by age 12, while reaction time continued to decrease into late adolescence. This developmental progression complements recent research on cerebellar and cortical maturation, and provides normative data for studying predictive processes in individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions.

Summary: Language disorders are influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and this review provides an overview of the genetic landscape of developmental language disorders (DLD). It emphasizes the importance of defining the specific features of DLD in order to inform gene discovery. The review also explores the recently identified gene pathways in populations with DLD and discusses the potential for epigenetics and environmental interactions to unravel the biological basis of language disorders.

Summary: This paper examines speech sound disorders through the lens of two well-developed models of production, providing a more detailed conceptualization and encouraging consideration of underlying processes. It suggests that broad diagnostic labels may comprise different subtypes or profiles, highlighting the importance of evaluating and treating different issues and processing stages.

Summary: Speech rate is a basic characteristic of language production, with adults who stutter typically exhibiting a slower speech rate. Research suggests that there is a significant negative association between speech rate and fractional anisotropy within the left inferior cerebellar peduncle in individuals who stutter.

Summary: Although our understanding of the cerebellum has progressed, there are still many unanswered questions, especially regarding its nonmotor roles. We present a case of bilateral cerebellar strokes resulting in mixed aphasia, which highlights the need for further research on cerebellar function and the clinical impact of different cerebellar lesions.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify subtypes in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) based on their motor, cognitive, and visual-motor abilities. The results revealed four clusters, each with different motor skill problems. Importantly, all clusters showed at least borderline level balance impairments. This study highlights the heterogeneity of DCD and the importance of balance in this condition.

Summary: This study evaluated the accuracy of a custom-built deep neural network (DNN)-based classification tool and found differences in lexical stress accuracy between children with CAS and TD. Prior knowledge did not confer a clear advantage in accuracy, and further improvement is needed for WS words in apraxic speech.

Summary: Developmental dyslexia (DD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are two common neurodevelopmental disorders that may share similar neural underpinnings. This study used structural and resting-state functional MRI images to compare TD children, children with DD, DCD, and those with both disorders (COM). Machine learning models were trained using brain structural and functional indexes to discriminate among the three groups. The most discriminant regions were found in the cerebellum for DCD and the temporal lobe for DD. The study also revealed subtle brain differences in children with both DD and DCD that can only be captured using multiple imaging indexes.

Summary: This study found that using the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) can effectively screen for motor problems in children with ASD, with high sensitivity and good internal consistency. However, the questionnaire showed lower specificity in this population.
