Publication highlights of the paper "Speech and language classification in the human phenotype ontology (HPO)". The right hand side features a photo of children undergoing speech therapy. Key findings: Speech & language difficulties often co-occur, but are distinct abilities. - Speech: perception & motor production of sounds - Language: understanding & producing messages (spoken/written) Current classification systems (e.g. HPO) has overlapping and inconsistent speech & language categories. Key findings: Researchers proposed a simplified and revised classification framework that distinctly separates speech & language domains and their subtypes. This framework will improve: - Precision in diagnosis & phenotyping - Targeted therapies for neurogenetic communcation disorders - Data-driven discovery from medical records worldwide To read full paper, check out link in caption. Paper is published in European Journal of Human Genetics. Author affiliations include Berlin Institute of Health, Murdoch Children's Research Institute, University of Melbourne, The Jackson Laboratory and University of Sheffield.

Every month since June 1998 Speechwoman has selected a speech-language pathology / speech and language therapy related site of the month. Sometimes it is not so much a site, as a research article or a page, blog entry or resource within a site that is worthwhile celebrating here. If they wish, awardees may display the Speechwoman logo on their winning site, post, page or resource (scroll down for two versions of the logo). Warm congratulations to all Speechwoman's winners, including those whose hard work has "gone" from the Internet! 2025 Sites of the Month May Open Access Cleland, J., Burr, S., Harding, S., Stringer, H., & Wren, Y.
