JCPSLP EDITOR'S PRIZE
EACH YEAR, a prize is awarded
to an article published in the
Journal of Clinical Practice in
Speech-Language Pathology
(JCPSLP) in the preceding 12
months, which is judged by the
JCPSLP Editorial Committee to
be of highest research merit. This
year, the prize was awarded to
Dr Kathryn Crowe and Professor
Sharynne McLeod for their article
titled, "Communication choices:
Translating research to practice
for professionals working with
children with hearing loss".
This article presents a translation
summary of the findings from
four studies examining the
communication choices of
children with hearing loss and
their parents. This internationally
significant, locally relevant,
clinically focussed article
provides speech pathologists
with valuable insights to support
practice and epitomises the
practice-research translation
values of JCPSLP.
The JCPSLP Editor, editorial
committee, and publication
team congratulate Kathryn
and Sharynne on their research
and the award.
The prize was presented at the
AGM on the first night of the
SPA National Conference.

A revision of the Test of Language Competence-Expanded, the CELF-5 Metalinguistics assessment includes four tests of
higher-level language skills that are embedded in upper-grade curricula and are critical to classroom success. Use it to measure
a student’s ability to think about and use language to make inferences, manipulate conversational speech given a context, use
words in multiple ways, and use language in a non-literal manner.
The CELF-5 Metalinguistics:
¨ Is ideal for students with subtle language disorders or those
on the autism spectrum
¨ Goes beyond assessment of syntax and semantics to assess
student’s language strategies and language flexibility
¨ Includes several tests that assess the student’s ability to
interpret contextual and situational demands of conversation
¨ Helps you evaluate delays in semantic, syntactic, and
pragmatic competence
