Child Apraxia Therapy Ideas Posted to communicative@listbot.com on May 14, 1999 by Donna Quesal If he isn't talking yet, you can begin with apraxia strategies like oral motor sequences with a favorite adult in the mirror, sensory stimulation to the oral area with tooth brushing, eating etc. and help him develop some awareness of what mouths do. Add voice when you can for fun and with non-word utterances at first (especially if there is a real psychological factor here). Enjoy sound sequences that can be shaped into words when he is ready. The treatment program for children with speech apraxia must be individualized and flexible. Here are some general strategies I have used effectively over the past 15 years for children with developmental speech apraxia and normal hearing. I hope these ideas will be of some help to you. Frequency, type and consistency of intervention are important. To treat speech apraxia, the speech-language pathologist needs to provide intensive direct therapy. The child's caregivers/assistants need to participate by doing daily follow-up activities with the child at home/school. Divide the larger (longterm) goals into smaller (short-term) steps which are concrete and measurable, so that the child and caregivers can see progress. This maintains their motivation for doing home follow-up/practice activities. If the steps are too longterm, the family may feel frustrated because they do not perceive the more subtle (but still meaningful) changes in the child's speech.

U of M Applied Sciences CD Home Speech and Hearing Center ... Advanced Search SPEECH LANGUAGE DISORDERS AND THE SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST What are speech and language disorders? Speech and language disorders are inabilities of individuals to understand and/or appropriately use the speech and language systems of society. Such disorders may range from simple sound repetitions or occasional misarticulations to the complete absence of the ability to use speech and language for communication. Why are speech and language disorders serious? The ability to communicate is our most human characteristic. When a person cannot communicate, isolation from friends, family and society often occurs. Individuals with speech and language disorders may encounter this isolation in vocational, social, emotional and educational areas. For example, adults with speech and language disorders may find it difficult to gain employment or may be forced into less satisfying jobs because of their inability to communicate effectively. Also, school children may experience difficulties in learning because of speech or language problems. How many persons have speech and language disorders?

Next The Department of Communicative Disorders recently celebrated the official naming of its clinic after its late founder, Professor Walter Beaupre. Shown here, Mrs. Walter Beaupre and her son, Larry, were among the family members who came to the clinic for the ceremony. A celebration was held in April to name the Walter J. Beaupre Speech and Hearing Center and to announce the first two Beaupre Scholars. According to Clinical Director and Clinical Assistant Professor Elizabeth Connors, the Center provides hearing testing for about 600 people each year as well as hearing aid assistance for several hundred clients. In addition, about 40 evaluations are conducted annually related to speech therapy needs and approximately 60 clients per year are seen for on-going therapeutic services. Beaupre began teaching courses in phonetics, voice disorders, alaryngeal speech, and gestural communication at the University in 1968. He was nationally known for his work on clinical methods for improving voice/speech instruction for the deaf using Cued Speech, the system of hand cues used to describe the sounds of American English. Beaupre wrote the Gaining Cued Speech Proficiency manual, first published in 1984, which is still considered to be a leading text in the field.

156. Hyperlexia Basic information about therapy and intervention strategies from The Center for speech and Language disorders. http://www.csld.com/hyperlexia.html

Hyperlexia is a syndrome observed in children who have the following characteristics: · Precocious ability to read words – far above what would be expected at the chronological age. · Significant difficulty understanding and using verbal language or a significant nonverbal learning disability · Difficulty in reciprocal interactions Hyperlexia co-exists on a continuum with other developmental disorders. The syndrome is identified behaviorally, through language and psychological testing and evaluating the history to see if the child fits the criteria. The Center for Speech and Language Disorders (CSLD) has extensive experience with this population. The CSLD has been at the forefront in developing intervention strategies for this population for the past 20 years. Children who present with hyperlexia are best helped with an interdisciplinary, coordinated approach to treatment. At CSLD we offer a multi-dimensional approach to speech-language therapy and occupational therapy services to address the unique language, social, and often sensory needs of this population. We understand the importance of team approach in working with this population and for this reason offer co-treatment with speech and occupational therapies. Our professionals will also consult and work with your child's entire team including pediatricians, school professionals, in home therapists, psychologists, neurologists, and most importantly, the family. The family is an integral part of our program and a driving force in our clinical philosophy. We encourage family involvement in the creating of goals, as well as, in the treatment process.

For almost all right-handers and for about 1/2 of left-handers, damage to the left side of the brain causes aphasia. As a result, individuals who were previously able to communicate through speaking, listening, reading and writing become more limited in their ability to do so. The most common cause of aphasia is stroke , but gunshot wounds, blows to the head, other traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, and other sources of brain damage can also cause aphasia.

Definitions Definitions of Learning Disabilities ... References Abstract Many people have difficulty comprehending that a child can be gifted and also have learning disabilities. As a result, children with special needs that result from both their high abilities and their learning problems are rarely identified and are often poorly served. This article explores the current policies and practices with regard to defining, identifying, and educating this population. Recommendations are included that would help ensure that students who are gifted and have learning disabilities receive the intervention needed to help them achieve their full potential. When educators first began describing children who showed evidence of having a learning disability (LD) yet also appeared to be gifted, many viewed this as contradictory. The stereotype that had prevailed since Terman's (1925) time was that gifted children score uniformly high on intelligence tests and perform well in school. How could a child be considered gifted who has serious enough learning problems to be characterized as having a learning disability?

Colds, allergies, bronchitis, exposure to irritants such as ammonia, or cheering for your favorite sports team can result in a loss of voice. But, people with spasmodic dysphonia, a chronic voice disorder, face the persistent question: "What's wrong with your voice?" With spasmodic dysphonia, movement of the vocal cords is forced and strained resulting in a jerky, quivery, hoarse, tight, or groaning voice. Vocal interruptions or spasms, periods of no sound (aphonia), and periods when there is near normal voice occur. At first, symptoms may be mild and occur only occasionally. Later on, they may worsen and become more frequent before they stabilize. Even then, symptoms may be worse when a person is tired or stressed. Or, they may be greatly reduced or even disappear, for example, during singing or laughing.
