Therefore, they are not considered as pathological manifestations of learning disorders. In such a time when it's expected of schools to act in a cordial manner to student's diversity and the singularities of each individual, such an approach assumes that teachers, and also speech therapists, must understand their role in writing in a more careful manner, in order not to treat such aspects as pathologies and to contribute to the "invisible institutionalization" and school evasion. Based on these ideas, this study was developed with the objective of checking the comprehension of 21 teachers of the first and second grades of the elementary education about the diacritical marks aspects of writing, present in their student's texts, under the effect of speech therapy collaboration. As for this collaboration, the methodology included activities in association with the teachers in order to make them meditate and modify their habitual doing in the classroom in relation to the way they understand and act with the written language. Such activities included theoretical-reflexive meetings and the analysis of texts and also the creation of support groups to help students that were considered by the teachers as the ones with learning difficulties. In order to make such activities viable, two questionnaires were used and there were group and individual interviews. There was also observation in the classroom of the teachers conduct when faced to such aspects during activities of text production. With the same purpose the teachers...

I samhället idag framkommer det allt fler barn som har någon form av språkstörning. Kunskapen bör därför hållas uppdaterad bland logopeder och talpedagoger med flera och att det även finns tillgång till stöd och hjälp för dessa barn. Kommunens översikt över behovet av hjälp är också viktigt för att barnen ska få de bästa möjliga förutsättningarna. Kommunen bör sedan göra det som krävs för att hjälpen för barn med språkstörning ska finnas tillgänglig i kommunen. I denna studie är vårt syfte att se vad det finns för hjälp för barn med språkstörning i olika kommuner och om hjälpen skiljer sig åt beroende på om kommunen är större eller mindre. Den frågeställning vi valt till denna undersökning är: Skiljer sig hjälpen åt för barn med språkstörningar i större respektive mindre kommuner och i så fall varför? Denna studie är kvalitativ och består av en strukturerad intervju. Frågorna har här bestämts i förväg och skickats ut till sju olika kommuner som är strategiskt utvalda. Den strukturerade intervjun har skickats iväg till kommunerna via mejl tillsammans med ett missiv efter ett telefonsamtal med oss där vi ville ha ett godkännande till att skicka frågeformuläret och missivet till dem. Resultatet visade på att större kommuner har språkförskolor medan mindre kommuner inte har inrättat några, men det visade också på att vissa större kommuner inte heller har någon sådan verksamhet. Resultatet visade också på att orsaker till att mindre kommuner inte har någon språkförskola är att barnantalet är för litet eller att de inte har så många barn med språkstörning i kommunen så att det skulle löna sig att ha denna verksamhet.

In the present study, the institutional discourse in health care was examined, focusing onspeech therapists and occupational therapists in interaction with a common patient withaphasia. The purpose of the present study was to identify common communication strategiesused in the professional conversation between a speech therapist and a patient and between anoccupational therapist and the same patient. Specific research questions were: Whatcommunicative strategies are used in interaction between a speech therapist and a patient withaphasia and between the occupational therapist and the same patient? Are theredifferences/similarities between how speech therapists and occupational therapists interactwith patients with aphasia?Six people in total, two patients in interaction with a speech therapist and an occupationaltherapist respectively, were recorded during treatment sessions of each profession. Generaland specific aspects of the institutional interaction were then analysed according to principlesof conversation analysis.Similarities in the use of closed questions as a strategy to increase the effectiveness ininteraction could be seen between the two different professions studied. The use ofevaluations in interaction was also relatively similar between the two occupations.Some differences were identified in the ways that each profession used repetitious behavior,co-constructions and non-verbal communication. In terms of use of communication aids tosupport the patient's understanding, clear differences between the professions were observed. / I föreliggande studie undersöks det institutionella samtalet inom vården, med inriktning pålogoped och arbetsterapeut i samspel med gemensam patient. Syftet med studien var attkartlägga de vanligt förekommande kommunikativa strategier som används i detprofessionella samtalet mellan logoped och patient med afasi samt mellan arbetsterapeut ochsamma patient. Specifika frågeställningar var: Vilka kommunikativa strategier används isamtal mellan logoped och patient med afasi och i relationen mellan arbetsterapeut ochsamma patient? Finns det skillnader/likheter mellan hur logopeder och arbetsterapeuterinteragerar med patienter som har afasi?Två patienter i interaktion med varsin logoped och varsin arbetsterapeut, sex personer totalt,spelades in under patientens behandlingstillfällen hos respektive profession. Generella ochspecifika aspekter av det institutionella samtalet analyserades sedan enligt samtalsanalytiskaprinciper.Likheter i användandet av slutna frågor som strategi för att effektivisera kommunikationenkunde ses mellan yrkeskategorierna i studien. Även användandet av utvärderingar var relativtlika mellan yrkesgrupperna.Vissa skillnader synliggjordes i respektive yrkesgrupps sätt att använda repetitioner,reparationer, samkonstruktioner och icke-verbal kommunikation. Gällande användande avkommunikativa hjälpmedel som stöd för patientens förståelse, sågs tydliga skillnader mellanyrkeskategorierna.

Employment is viewed as one of the pinnacle factors in enhancing quality of life. Despite being a right in South Africa, the employment opportunities available to individuals with Down syndrome are limited. This study aimed to explore the employment experiences of individuals with Down syndrome, their employers and their families in KwaZulu-Natal. This research provided valuable information for Speech-Language Therapists on enhancing communication in the workplace as effective communication in the workplace is crucial for employment. A qualitative approach and phenomenological design were used within the context of International Classification Framework, biopsychosocial model and critical paradigm. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Results revealed that individuals with Down syndrome valued their employment for the emotional and financial support it provided and the skill development opportunities available. Gaps were evident in legislation specific to the employment of individuals with Down syndrome as well as the implementation of these limited policies. Communication is necessary in the workplace; however, it is one of the areas that is severely impacted in individuals with Down syndrome. Employers and family members’ experiences indicated variability in speech intelligibility, language and literacy skills among the participants with Down syndrome linked to cognitive ability, intervention, education received, mood swings and memory loss. Intriguing trends relating to the positive use of technological devices for social and recreational purposes were evident. Employment success can be linked to successful job selection, visual and emotional support. Speech-Language Therapists, employers, family members and the Down syndrome association were found to have crucial roles in providing this support. The role of the Speech-Language Therapist continues to evolve and is required across the lifespan for different purposes. / M.Sc. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban 2013
