Diagnosing Communication Disorders in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students The ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education (ERIC EC) The Council for Exceptional Children 1110 N. Glebe Rd. Arlington, VA 22201-5704 Toll Free: 1.800.328.0272 E-mail: ericec@cec.sped.org Internet: http://ericec.org ERIC EC Digest #E650 Author: Catherine Crowley October 2003 The disproportionate referral of bilingual and culturally diverse students to special education and related services is a pressing challenge in public school systems. Not only are unnecessary services a drain on resources, but they are harmful to children, taking them away from the classroom and inevitably stigmatizing them. In addition, an incorrect diagnosis may mean that a child does not receive the services he or she does need. Accurate assessment of culturally and linguistically diverse students is difficult in any area. Assessing the speech and language skills of these students is even more challenging. The evaluator must make the crucial differential diagnosis between a communication disorder and something else. This "something else" could have a cultural basis, such as a mismatch between demands of school and home, or a linguistic basis, such as evidence of the normal process of second language acquisition or speaking a non-standard dialect of English. This digest describes the current preferred practice in the assessment of communication disorders in culturally and linguistically diverse students.

A A A Home ... Voice, Speech, and Language Spasmodic Dysphonia On this page: What is spasmodic dysphonia? What are the types of spasmodic dysphonia? What are the features of spasmodic dysphonia? Who is affected by spasmodic dysphonia? ... Where can I get additional information? What is spasmodic dysphonia? Spasmodic dysphonia (or laryngeal dystonia) is a voice disorder caused by involuntary movements of one or more muscles of the larynx or voice box. Individuals who have spasmodic dysphonia may have occasional difficulty saying a word or two or they may experience sufficient difficulty to interfere with communication. Spasmodic dysphonia causes the voice to break or to have a tight, strained or strangled quality. There are three different types of spasmodic dysphonia. Top What are the types of spasmodic dysphonia? The three types of spasmodic dysphonia are adductor spasmodic dysphonia, abductor spasmodic dysphonia and mixed spasmodic dysphonia. Top What are the features of spasmodic dysphonia? In adductor spasmodic dysphonia, sudden involuntary muscle movements or spasms cause the vocal folds (or vocal cords ) to slam together and stiffen. These spasms make it difficult for the vocal folds to vibrate and produce voice. Words are often cut off or difficult to start because of the muscle spasms. Therefore, speech may be choppy and sound similar to stuttering. The voice of an individual with adductor spasmodic dysphonia is commonly described as strained or strangled and full of effort. Surprisingly, the spasms are usually absent while whispering, laughing, singing, speaking at a high pitch or speaking while breathing in. Stress, however, often makes the muscle spasms more severe.

From the US National Institute on Deafness and Other communication disorders. http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/hearingaid.asp

A A A Home ... Hearing, Ear Infections, and Deafness Hearing Aids On this page: What Is a Hearing Aid? How Common Is Hearing Loss and What Causes It? How Can I Find Out if I Have Hearing Loss? How Can Hearing Aids Help? ... Where Can I Get Additional Information? What is a hearing aid? A hearing aid is an electronic, battery-operated device that amplifies and changes sound to allow for improved communication. Hearing aids receive sound through a microphone, which then converts the sound waves to electrical signals. The amplifier increases the loudness of the signals and then sends the sound to the ear through a speaker. Top How common is hearing loss and what causes it? Approximately 28 million Americans have a hearing impairment. Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent chronic health conditions in the United States, affecting people of all ages, in all segments of the population, and across all socioeconomic levels. Hearing loss affects approximately 17 in 1,000 children under age 18. Incidence increases with age: approximately 314 in 1,000 people over age 65 have hearing loss. Hearing loss can be hereditary, or it can result from disease, trauma, or long-term exposure to damaging noise or medications. Hearing loss can vary from a mild but important loss of sensitivity, to a total loss of hearing. How do we hear?
