Prosodic impairments occur in many clinical populations, including those with autism and motor speech disorders. These impairments can negatively impact intelligibility, as well as an individual's ability to signal and understand linguistic contrasts and emotions. For this study, we surveyed 245 Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) to assess their clinical practices with regards to prosody and to identify potential barriers to addressing prosody in the clinic. While a majority of respondents agreed that prosody was within their scope of practice, they reported that they rarely assessed or treated prosody when they suspected that a client had a prosodic impairment. Overall, respondents felt they were lacking in knowledge of the nature of prosody, experience with clients who have prosodic impairments, and knowledge of assessment and treatment methods for prosody. Recommendations include increasing training opportunities, encouraging collaboration between researchers and SLPs with expertise in prosody, and the development of a clinically feasible prosody assessment.
许多临床人群存在韵律障碍，包括自闭症患者和运动性言语障碍患者。这些障碍会降低言语清晰度，并影响个体信号传递和理解语言差异及情感的能力。在这项研究中，我们调查了 245 名言语治疗师，以评估他们在韵律方面的临床实践，并确定在临床实践中解决韵律问题的潜在障碍。虽然大多数受访者同意韵律属于他们的实践范围，但他们报告说，当他们怀疑客户存在韵律障碍时，他们很少评估或治疗韵律。总的来说，受访者认为他们缺乏对韵律本质的了解，缺乏对有韵律障碍的客户的经验，以及对韵律评估和治疗方法的了解。建议包括增加培训机会，鼓励在韵律方面具有专业知识的研究人员和言语治疗师之间的合作，以及开发一种临床可行的韵律评估方法。
