Lited below are some disorders usually assessed and treated by Speech-Language Pathologists. Click on the link within each to obtain more information. Aphasia Aphasia is a condition that is acquired through brain injury; usually a stroke. Aphasia is not simply a speech disturbance but rather can affect the understanding of language. This may also affect reading and writing. Wernike's Aphasia A collection of responses to someone seeking information on this subject. Nervous System Diseases NSA -National Stroke Association About Stroke (American Stroke Association) Stories of experience entitled " Stroke ", " Helen's Story " and " A Life Changing Experience " Bungalow Software -Provides S-LP's with software to assist in patient treatment. Apraxia Apraxia, like dysarthria, is a motor speech disorder. One main difference is that apraxia is a deficit in the motor programming of speech, and does not necessarily affect involuntary (or automatic) tasks such as chewing. Dysarthria, affects motor production regardless of task and often includes a component of motor "weakness". Developmental Verbal Apraxia -Great information here!

25. Treating Children With Motor Speech Disorders Treating Children with Motor speech disorders. We have found this to be helpful in both child and adult patients with motor speech disorders. http://www.apraxia-kids.org/slps/crary.html

Search Site Map Home Treating Children with Motor Speech Disorders by Michael A. Crary, Professor and Chair, Department of Communicative Disorders, University of Florida Health Science Center These treatment sessions can be conducted in as little as thirty to forty-five minutes. We have found them to be effective in children with motor speech disorders of varying types. A brief comment on changing from one stimulus to the other; we have found that it is advantages to use a "stairstepping" model for introducing new stimuli. That means that we never change the motor target, phonologic target, and the grammatic target in the same session. Only one new target is introduced in any given session. Once the child masters that target it is then introduced in a new context such as a more advanced grammatical structure or a more difficult sentence type. In this regard only, the information that you want the child to focus on is changed in any give session. In the preceding paragraph, I used the word context. I think that context is very important in developing effective therapy program for children with developmental speech disorders. My view is that apraxia is a disorder of motor organization/motor execution that is influenced by motoric and/or linguistic context. Clinicians who can master the ability to identify the context contributing to either success or non-success in speech production for these child can subsequently structure therapy using appropriate context to facilitate improved responses.

Search Site Map Home Apraxia? Articulation? Phonology? What Does it All Mean? An Introduction to Speech Production Disorders by Nancy Lucker-Lazerson, MA, CCC-SLP (updated by the author October 2003) Your two-year-old says no words, makes some sounds, yet he understands everything you say.  Your five-year-old speaks in what appear to be sentences, but all you hear are vowel sounds.  Your seven-year-old lisps, and says "wabbit" instead of "rabbit".  And your three-year-old talks non-stop, but no one can understand a word that he says.  So what do you do?  If you bring your child to a speech-language pathologist (SLP), the first two children would probably be diagnosed as having oral-motor planning deficits, or Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS).  The third child has an Articulation disorder, and the fourth child has a Phonology disorder.  Now that you know that, what does it all mean? ORAL-MOTOR SPEECH DISORDERS Childhood Apraxia of Speech is a deficit in the ability to plan the motor movements for speech and is considered an oral motor planning disorder.  Children with CAS have difficulties transmitting the speech message from their brain to their mouths. Children with significant weakness of the lips, tongue, and jaw may be diagnosed by a neurologist as having Dysarthria.  Many children with cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis have Dysarthria. CAS is usually of unknown origin.  Whether or not we know the cause, SLPs can treat the disorder.

Wednesday, June 02, 2004 Lack of info about speech disorders spurs mother to start advocacy group By Sandy Cohen DAILY BREEZE When the boy was a year old and still not speaking, Hill pressed for a new doctor, someone who would take her concerns more seriously. When Jovan turned 2, he began to gesture wildly and throw frequent tantrums, but he still barely spoke. She wanted support, but the nearest advocacy group for parents of apraxic children was in Florida. So Hill decided to start her own. In January, she founded VOICES Association (Victory Over Impairments of Communication, Expression and Speech). Speech and language disorders are on the rise in the South Bay, according to Bob Farran, director of special education services for area school districts. Students with speech and language needs make up nearly 30 percent of all special education candidates in South Bay schools. Most are elementary students. Generally, 1-year-olds should say one-word sentences, 2-year-olds should say two-word utterances and 3-year-olds should compose three-word phrases. Speech specialists disagree about what age is best for beginning diagnosis and therapy. Karyn Lewis Searcy, a speech and language pathologist in San Diego and member of the VOICES advisory board, urges parents to trust their instincts and press for early diagnosis.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Speech disorders Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), a language disorder is an impairment in comprehension use of the spoken, written, or other symbol system. Description Speech disorders affect the language and mechanics, the content of speech, or the function of language in communication. Because speech disorders affect a person's ability to communicate effectively, every aspect of the person's life can be affected, for example, the person's ability to make friends, and to communicate at school or at work. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells in the brain that control voluntary muscles. ALS causes motor neurons to die so that the brain and spinal cord are unable to send messages to the muscles telling them to move. Because the muscles are not functioning, they begin to atrophy. Muscles in the face and jaw can be affected, and thereby affecting a person's speech. Aphasia Aphasia results from damage to the language centers of the brain, which affects a person's ability to communicate through speaking, listening, and writing.

Understanding Parkinson's Treatments Available Research Learning to live in the present ... About this site Media Speech disorders Many people with Parkinson’s disease suffer from dysarthria, a speech disorder related to the language motor centres. In fact, according to recent studies, at least 75% of people affected will have dysarthria to varying degrees during the course of their disease. The difficulties observed result mainly from a limitation in or a lack of coordination of the muscles involved in speaking. To better understand the scope of this disorder, it should be remembered that speech is supported by respiration, which also underlies other functions: Voice, articulation, and prosody (rhythm, stress and flow rate). Although there may be variations between individuals, the speech characteristics observed in people with Parkinson’s disease are essentially the following: Voice and respiration Change in vocal quality: The voice may become hoarse, faint and sometimes wavering. The strength of the voice decreases, causing it to become faint with little carrying power. The respiratory capacity required for voice production is also more limited, and the person feels as if he/she does not have enough breath to finish speaking.

37. Speech And Language Disorders SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DISORDERS. DEFINITION speech disorders refer to difficulties producing speech sounds or problems with voice quality. They http://www.childpsychologist.com/speech_language/speech.htm

SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DISORDERS DEFINITION OF SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DISORDERS Speech and language disorders refer to problems in communication and related areas such as oral motor function. These delays and disorders range from simple sound substitutions to the inability to understand or use language or use the oral-motor mechanism for functional speech and feeding. Some causes of speech and language disorders include hearing loss, neurological disorders, brain injury, mental retardation, drug abuse, physical impairments such as cleft lip or palate, and vocal abuse or misuse. Frequently, however, the cause is unknown. INCIDENCE More than one million of the students served in the public schools' special education programs in the 1994-95 school year were categorized as having a speech or language impairment. This estimate does not include children who have speech/language problems secondary to other conditions such as deafness. Language disorders may be related to other disabilities such as mental retardation, autism or cerebral palsy. It is estimated that communication disorders (including speech, language and hearing disorders) affect one of every 10 people in the United States. CHARACTERISTICS A child's communication is considered delayed when the child is noticeably behind his or her peers in the acquisition of speech and/or language skills. Sometimes a child will have greater receptive (understanding) than expressive (speaking) language skills, but this is not always the case.
