TO collect speech fragments, participants were instructed throughout the experiment to read a standardized text of five sentences out loud. This “Marloes” text is often used in Dutch speech therapy due to the text containing a similar frequency distribution as occurs in the Dutch language (Van ...
Our results show that, on average, T therapy is effective at masculinizingfoandfo-SD. Transmen’sfovalues (mean and range) are comparable to those of cismen and statistically significantly lower than ciswomen’sfovalues. While we do not have recordings of these men prior to T therapy, we c...
Ward staff responded well to this more individualised, practical approach: they welcomed the support of the AP and availability for demonstrations when screening patients. This improved screening frequency and referrals to the Dietetic service for high-risk patients were actioned quickly. This helped ...

2. Grant writing. After the PODD roll out didn’t go so well (due to my lack of availability to train staff), I thought it was time to take a step back. At the PODD training over the summer, Gayle Porter talked about the need to establish communicative environments for our AAC users...
The efficacy of traditional speech therapy and computer-based auditory training programs (CBATP) in improving CI outcomes was assessed by use of ACC responses to gaps in tones, amongst other measures.ACC gap detection threshold results predicted psychophysical temporal resolution (as assessed by the ...
such as the availability of instructors in specific locations or during specific periods of time. Pragmatic and observational approaches to studying interventions may not be inferior [115]. While the absence of randomisation may increase the risk of confounding, especially if statistical adjustment method...
Due to the limited availability and challenges associated with collecting or preparing labeled datasets of expressive speech, as discussed in Section6, many researchers tend to resort to unsupervised approaches for generating expressive speech. Within these approaches, models are trained to extract speaking...
The datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are not publicly available due to identifying character of speech recordings. Other data is available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. Code availability All open source libraries used in this study are publicly ...
