A psycholinguistic approach to designing word stimuli for evaluating speech sound production in Persian-speaking children: Focus on face and content validity There is a pressing need for well-defined phonological assessment protocols and the development of valid, reliable, and clinician-friendly tools tailored to the unique linguistic contexts of each c...

In response to limited speech assessment tools, our 2025 study proposes a psycholinguistically informed framework for designing Persian word stimuli with established face and content validity to support clinician‑friendly SSD assessment.

Assessment of speech sound disorders: Clinical experiences of Speech-language pathologists in Iran Background Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in non-English speaking countries face challenges when assessing children for speech sound disorders (SSD). Exploring their clinical challenges in servic...

Recent research highlighted major challenges faced by Iranian SLPs in assessing Seech Sound Disorder: time‑consuming procedures, limited access to standardized Persian tools, and reliance on informal assessments with restricted diagnostic power. #Iran #SSD #childSpeechDis doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Verb production deficits in the discourse of Persian speakers with agrammatic aphasia: impacts on verb types, morphology, and argument structure Agrammatism can result in verb production deficits, affecting various types of verbs, verb morphology, and argument structure. Persian language is underrepresented in aphasia research.This study ai...

Agrammatism meets Persian morphosyntax: In discourse, Persian speakers with agrammatic aphasia produced fewer verbs and showed prominent compound-verb errors—mis-selecting/substituting the light verb/non-verbal element—alongside verb omission and past→present tense shifts.

Grammar runs in the background-until it doesn’t!
After stroke, agrammatism can hit comprehension too.
Persian data: The more a sentence depends on grammar, the harder it is to understand.
Rehab: assess & treat comprehension → support speech.

well done!👍👌

At #WorldStrokeCongress, we showed that Persian agrammatism involves distinctive errors in free grammatical morphemes, reinforcing the need for language-specific assessment & therapy.
