Comparative Study Of Acoustic And Perceptual Analysis Of Voice In Healthy Women, Women With Hypothyroidism And Hyperthyroidism In Kerala
Thyroid disorders, primarily hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, represent the most prevalent endocrine conditions affecting the laryngeal system and inducing vocal changes through distinct pathophysiological mechanisms. Standard protocols prioritize metabolic and cardiovascular stability, while frequently undermining the individual’s communicative quality of life (QoL). Therefore, a standard voice assessment should be included in routine evaluation.
Attitude and Awareness among Adults of Different Age Groups Regarding Diabetes Mellitus Related Hearing Loss in Rural Areas of Trivandrum District in Kerala
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder linked to microvascular and neuropathic complications, yet DM-related hearing loss(HL) remains frequently under-recognized. This cross-sectional study assessed and compared the attitude and awareness regarding this complication among 90 adults (equally distributed into age groups: 18–35, 36–54, and 54+ years) in rural Trivandrum, Kerala, using a validated 18-item Malayalam questionnaire.
Awareness and Perceived Effectiveness of Scaffolding Techniques on Social Communication Skills in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Survey Among Speech Language Pathologists in Kerala
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterised by difficulties in social communication and social interaction, which can affect a child's participation in daily activities. Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) play an important role in assessing and improving communication skills in children with ASD. Scaffolding techniques provide structured support that may help enhance social communication abilities.
Acoustic and Aerodynamic analysis of voice in Lower primary, Upper primary and High school teachers in Kerala.
The present study aimed to compare acoustic and aerodynamic voice characteristics among lower primary, upper primary, and high school teachers in Kerala to identify variations associated with differing occupational vocal demands. A total of 45 teachers participated in the study, with 15 participants recruited from each teaching category.
A Marathi Screening Tool For Teachers to identify students with specific learning disorder in primary schools
Specific Learning disorder (SLD) is a neurodevelopmental condition manifesting as difficulties in reading, writing, reasoning, mathematical abilities and comprehending or using language. Teachers play a significant role in assisting students with SLD. It is essential for classroom teachers to be aware of the challenges faced by students with SLD and to conduct early screening and intervention to ensure that students with learning difficulties receive the required academic and emotional support.
Awareness of Specific Learning Disorder Among Lower Primary School Teachers in Government Schools of Delhi
Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting children's capacity to read, write, and perform mathematical operations despite adequate intelligence, instruction, and educational opportunity. Early identification depends critically on teacher awareness, particularly in resource-constrained government school settings. The present study aimed to assess SLD awareness among lower primary school teachers in government schools of Delhi.
Current Assessment Tools, Integration, and Clinical Decision-Making in Written Language Disorder (Dysgraphia): A Pilot Study
Written Language Disorder (WLD), or dysgraphia, remains an underexamined component of routine speech–language evaluation in India, where culturally and linguistically appropriate assessment tools are limited. The present pilot study examined the assessment practices, integration strategies, clinical decision-making, and self-reported confidence of speech–language pathologists (SLPs) regarding WLD, and explored whether years of clinical experience influence these parameters.
Parent’s knowledge, attitudes and perceptions towards children with intellectual disabilities in Kerala.
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour that affect communication, learning and daily life skills. The aim of this study was to assess the parental knowledge, attitude and perception regarding language problems and ID among respondents.
EVALUATING THE BEHAVIOURAL FEEDING ISSUES IN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY USING THE BEHAVIORAL PEDIATRIC FEEDING ASSESSMENT SCALE IN MALAYALAM (BPFAS-Malayalam)
Feeding is a complex process involving sucking, chewing, swallowing and children with cerebral palsy often experience feeding and swallowing problems due to oro-motor impairment. This study aimed to assess feeding behaviour in Malayalam-speaking children with spastic CP using the BPFAS-Malayalam (Paul & Gupta,2026) and compare them with TD children. A total of 30 children aged 4-8 years with 15 children with spastic CP and 15 TD children from Kerala were included.
Awareness of Caregivers of Individuals with Stroke Induced Aphasia in Kerala
Stroke induced aphasia significantly impacts the communication abilities of survivors and places substantial emotional and practical demands on family caregivers. A caregiver of a person with stroke induced aphasia is typically a family member or close friend who takes on the main responsibility for supporting the individual’s daily life, health and communication after the stroke.
The Effect Of Smoking On Dysphonia Severity Index Among Young Adults In Kerala.
Smoking is a proven cause of laryngeal irritation and physical tissue alterations that negatively impact vocal fold function resulting in a measurable loss of voice quality. The present study investigated the effect of smoking on vocal quality using the Dysphonia Severity Index [DSI] (Wuyts et al 2000) among young adult males.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Naturalistic Developmental Behavioural Interventions among Speech-Language Pathologists in Kerala
Naturalistic Developmental Behavioural Interventions (NDBIs) are evidence-based early intervention approaches that promote social communication, language, and developmental skills in children with autism spectrum disorder. The present study aimed to examine the knowledge, attitude, and practice of NDBIs among Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) in Kerala. A questionnaire-based method was used for data collection.
Non word Repetition task in Malayalam speaking children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and children with Specific Learning Disorder
Non Word Repetition (NWR) performance predicts vocabulary growth and it allows individuals to efficiently encode, store and eventually integrate unfamiliar spoken words into their permanent mental lexicons. This process ultimately enhances overall communication skills. In NWR tasks, children with SLD have difficulty retaining phonetic information, whereas children with ASD has difficulties with hearing integration and speech motor planning.
International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research
Feeding is a daily activity that requires sucking, chewing, swallowing and coordinating breathing so that children can consume food and fluids safely and efficiently. Children with ASD frequently experience feeding problems due to food selectivity, atypical mealtime behaviours, food refusal and preferences for specific textures or colours. The present study aimed to translate, adapt and validate the BPFAS Malayalam to evaluate feeding behaviour in TD children and children with ASD.
