About
Edythe Strand is an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Speech & Hearing Sciences at the University of Washington. Her research focuses on language development and disorders in children, motor speech disorders in adults, and speech development, perception, and production. She has contributed to the understanding and measurement of apraxia of speech, including the development and validation of the Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale. Her work also involves studying functional connectivity related to neurodegeneration in progressive apraxia of speech and assessing behavior in primary progressive apraxia of speech and agrammatic aphasia. Dr. Strand has published extensively on these topics, advancing the field's understanding of speech and language disorders through both clinical and neuroimaging research.

The Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale: Reliability, Validity, and Utility
American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology · 2023-01-11 · 74 citations
articleOpen accessPURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the interrater reliability and validity of the Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale (ASRS-3.5) as an index of the presence and severity of apraxia of speech (AOS) and the prominence of several of its important features. METHOD: Interrater reliability was assessed for 27 participants. Validity was examined in a cohort of 308 participants (120 with and 188 without progressive AOS) through item analysis; item-Total score correlations; correlations among A…

Progressive apraxia of speech is a neurodegenerative syndrome affecting spoken communication. Molecular pathology, biochemistry, genetics, and longitudinal imaging were investigated in 32 autopsy-confirmed patients with progressive apraxia of speech who were followed over 10 years. Corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy (4R-tauopathies) were the most common underlying pathologies. Perceptually distinct speech characteristics, combined with age-at-onset, predicted specific 4…
