A historical study of intervention for aphasia may provide information on how speech and language pathologists work with people with aphasia. Aphasia is seen as an umbrella term for symptoms of language disorders caused by aquired brain injury. The overall aim of the present study was to describe and analyze the development of intervention for aphasia during the periods 1990-1999 and 2000-2010. The study was conducted by analysis of 83 medical records from two hospitals in Sweden during a period of 20 years. These decades were compared to each other and yo current litteraturein search for differences and trends in aphasia intervention. The Results of the present study revealed that intervention mainly focused on recovering the linguistic ability in both the 1990s and 2000s. Intervention and literature focusing on communication seem to increase during the 2000s. In the 2000s, speech and language pathologists begin to report on working with cognitive abilities. The results of the present study cannot be generalized but may give an insight in aphasia intervention from a historical perspective in Sweden. / En studie om afasiinterventionens historia kan bidra med information om hur logopeder arbetar med personer med afasi. Afasi ses som ett paraplybegrepp för symtom på språkstörning som uppkommit efter en förvärvad hjärnskada. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att beskriva och analysera hur utvecklingen av den logopediska afasiinterventionen har sett ut under åren 1990-1999 och 2000-2010. Studien genomfördes genom analys av 83 journaler från två sjukhus i Sverige under en 20-års period. Dessa årtionden jämfördes med varandra och relaterades till aktuell litteratur för att utröna skillnader och trender i den logopediska interventionen. Resultatet i föreliggande studie visade att intervention med inriktning mot att återfå den språkliga förmågan är vanligast under både 1990-talet och 2000-talet. Intervention och litteratur inriktad mot kommunikation förefaller öka under 2000-talet. Under 2000-talet dokumenterar logopeder att de ger intervention med inriktning mot kognition. Resultaten i föreliggande studie kan inte generaliseras utan får ses som en inblick i afasiintervention ur ett historiskt perspektiv i Sverige.

Over the years, considerable research has been done showing the advantages of early identification of hearing loss and its impact on children in developing speech and language skills. Although the universal early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) program is fully functional in developed countries it has not been actualized in developing global regions like Asia, Africa and Latin America. The primary reason could be precise government policies and the necessary funds to support them. There is also a lack of awareness and initiative form the parent's side. The purpose of this paper is to describe and support the need for a universal early detection of hearing loss and intervention program in India. Objectives for developing a universal early identification and intervention program and the recommendations for actualizing them have been included. / text

This study examined the characteristics of 14 English Language Learners classified as having learning disabilities (LD) who were also identified as having speech and language impairments (SI) prior to, at, or after initial identification as LD. Data were collected under the auspices of a longitudinal study, Bilingual Exceptional Students: Effective Practices for Oral Language and Reading Instruction, conducted by multicultural special education faculty at the University of Texas at Austin between 1999 and 2002. Participants were served in bilingual education and bilingual special education programs in a large, central Texas school District. Archival data from students’ cumulative, bilingual and special education records were analyzed to profile student characteristics at the point of their initial LD and SI eligibility determinations. A clinical judgment panel comprised of bilingual special education experts analyzed student data and made independent eligibility recommendations for each participant. These recommendations were compared to the multidisciplinary teams (MDTs’) eligibility decisions. Findings revealed that MDTs based eligibility primary on the presence of an IQ-achievement discrepancy and did not adequately consider factors, other than the presence of LD that could explain student difficulties. When data other than the IQ-achievement discrepancy were considered, the clinical judgment panel classified 4 participants as LD and 9 as having disabilities other than LD; the panel felt that data for one student were insufficient to make an eligibility recommendation. Findings related to identification of SI for this population were limited because students were assessed using a Spanish translation of an English speech and language assessment developed by the district. Test results corroborated parents’ and teachers’ concerns that these students had significant communication problems. Implications for improving practices related to early intervention, referral, assessment, and eligibility determinations for ELLs are presented and suggestions for future research are delineated. / text

Bakalauro darbe analizuojami veiksniai, kurie logopedų ir tėvų požiūriu, padeda įveikti vaikų kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimus. / Bachelor thesis analyzes the factors that parents and speech therapists approach overcomes the child speech and language disorders.

Bakalauro darbe analizuojama patyčių problema mokyklose: jų priežastys, formos, pasekmės, kurias jaučia tiek patyčių auka, tiek patyčių iniciatorius, tiek ir visa mokyklos bendruomenė. Taip pat gilinamasi, ar mokiniai, turintys kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų, jų susilaukia daugiau. Suformuluota hipotezė, kad kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimai nėra pagrindinė priežastis, dėl ko mokiniai patiria patyčias. Tyrime dalyvavo 100 kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų turinčių mokinių, taip pat 30 įprastinės kalbos raidos mokinių bei 50 pedagogų, kurie ugdo mokinius, turinčius kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų. Anketinės apklausos metodu tirta, kaip kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų turintys mokiniai jaučiasi mokykloje, kaip dažnai, kur ir kokias patyčias tenka patirti, kaip jie į tai reaguoja, ir kaip mano, kodėl vaikai tyčiojasi. Šių mokinių nuomonė buvo lyginama su kitų mokinių bei mokytojų atsakymais. Tyrimu nustatyta, kad dažniau patyčias patiria mokiniai, turintys kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų, nors nemaža dalis įprastinės kalbos raidos mokinių taip pat patiria patyčias. Dažniausi patyčių būdai yra pravardžiavimas, erzinimas, apkalbinėjimas, ignoravimas ar nebendravimas ir stumdymas. Šias patyčių formas taip pat dažniausiai tenka matyti mokytojams. Nemažai mokinių, kurie patiria patyčias, skriaudėjams atsako tuo pačiu. Taip pat nevengia papasakoti apie patyčias mokytojams ar tėvams. Mokytojai dažniausiai drausmina skriaudėjus, pasišneka su skriaudžiamu vaiku, pataria...

There is also explored if students that have disorders of language and speaking attain more taunting. There is formulated a hypothesis that disorder of language and speaking is not the main reason of taunting that students experience. There participated a hundred respondents that have language and speaking disorders, also 30 of regular language students and 50 schoolmasters which educated students that have disorders of language and speaking. Using survey method, there was explored how students that have language and speaking disorders feel like at school and how often, where and what kind of taunting they have to face, how do they react to the taunting and why do they think other people express taunting. The opinion of these students was compared to others students opinion and answers of schoolmasters. According to research, students that have language and speaking disorders face the taunting more often, though not small part of regular language students also face taunting. The most common taunting ways are teasing, slander, ignoring, not communicating and shoving. Schoolmasters also can notice these forms of taunting as most often. A biggest part of students facing taunting responds to the offenders the same way. They also do... [to full text]

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo principal investigar os efeitos de parte da metodologia verbotonal no desenvolvimento sintático em um paciente com atraso simples de linguagem. A criança, com 5 anos de idade, foi previamente selecionada por apresentar diagnóstico de atraso simples de linguagem, na Clínica Escola de Fonoaudiologia da Universidade de João Pessoa (UNIPÊ), João Pessoa - PB, no setor de Fonoaudiologia. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em quatro etapas: a primeira, realizada através de uma entrevista semi-estruturada com a mãe da criança, teve como objetivo colher dados mais detalhados sobre o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor da criança. Na segunda etapa, foi realizada, com a criança, uma avaliação fonoaudiológica de linguagem. Como resultado, observou-se uma fala telegráfica, não compatível com a sua idade cronológica. Para a realização da terceira etapa, foram agendados dias e horários para a realização do processo terapêutico com a criança, à luz da metodologia verbotonal, durante o período de seis meses. Ao término deste período, foi realizada a quarta etapa com a aplicação de uma avaliação fonoaudiológica de linguagem com o intuito de verificar e identificar as evoluções na linguagem oral da criança em seu nível sintático, utilizando, para a análise, o modelo proposto por Vilela e Koch (2001). Como a metodologia verbotonal tem apresentado respostas positivas em relação à linguagem oral em deficientes auditivos e surdos, a proposta de aplicação dessa metodologia em paciente com atraso simples de linguagem foi de grande auxílio no ratamento fonoterápico, favorecendo tanto ao terapeuta quanto à criança. Por ser um tema bastante atual na área de linguagem, e, principalmente, para a Fonoaudiologia, esta pesquisa abre novo campo de estudo e amplia a visão do fonoaudiólogo em relação ao tratamento em crianças com atraso simples de linguagem / The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of Verbotonal Methodology on syntactic development of one language simple delayed child. The 5 year old child had been previously chosen for being diagnosticated as showing a language simple delay at the Clínica Escola de Fonoaudiologia da Universidade, João Pessoa - PB, by the Language Pathology Clinic. The work was structured in four steps: first, a semi-structured interview was carried out with the child mother in order to get information about the child neuro-psycho-motor development. Then, the child was submitted to a language pathology test which showed some evidences of telegraphic speech not fitting with her age. After that, the child was submitted to a six month language therapy using the Verbotoal Methodology. By the end of the therapy sessions a language test was again carried out to check the child language syntactic development by using Vilela and Koch (2001) language description model. Aware of the positive results presented by hearing and nonhearing children with the help of Verbotonal Methodology, its use in the case of this child proved to be successful in phonotherapy, with positive results both to the child language improvement and to the work of the language therapist. This paper hopes to give a contribution for the studies on Language therapy as well as to those working with simple delayed language

A Fonoaudiologia teve sua origem no meio educacional quando os fonoaudiólogos ainda eram chamados de reabilitadores e buscavam solucionar os problemas de linguagem dos educandos dentro da própria escola. Na atualidade, detectamos alguns problemas de interlocução que levam a uma dificuldade no exercício dessa atividade. Considerando-se esse contexto, o objetivo do trabalho foi estudar as representações que se encontram na base dos discursos produzidos por fonoaudiólogos e por professores sobre a atuação fonoaudiológica na escola, a fim de alcançar uma melhor compreensão a respeito do que circula entre esses profissionais, contribuindo, assim, para a consolidação da sua identidade profissional. Através dos dados obtidos com a realização de uma entrevista semi-estruturada, com oito participantes, buscamos analisar os resultados encontrados a partir de duas perspectivas: uma dialógica, sugerida por Bakhtin, que considera a interação como uma realidade fundamental para a linguagem; e outra, correspondente às idéias de Moscovici sobre as representações sociais geradas pelas influências comunicativas em ação na sociedade e que podem ser expressas por meio do senso comum. Os nossos achados sugerem que a Fonoaudiologia, tal como a conhecemos em Recife, não apresenta clareza em relação à sua proposta de atuação no meio escolar. Os fonoaudiólogos entrevistados possuem a representação de uma atuação ligada ao início da história da profissão, direcionada à percepção de dificuldades nos alunos, não compreendendo a promoção de saúde como uma forma mais eficaz de ação, demonstrando dessa maneira, uma visão reducionista de sua atuação, que se reflete na sua formação. A visão do professor sobre o mesmo tema, apesar de vinculada à detecção e ao tratamento de patologias, revela a necessidade do trabalho do fonoaudiólogo, especialmente se considerarmos a perspectiva inclusivista, bem como na prevenção fonoaudiológica para alunos e professores. Ao final da pesquisa, observamos que, se o investimento em estudos nessa área permanecer incipiente e, principalmente, se os poucos profissionais que atuam em instituições educacionais continuarem com uma visão limitada do seu papel, perderemos um campo de atuação da Fonoaudiologia, do mesmo modo que a Educação perderá um profissional que pode ajudar a gerar grandes mudanças no ensino / The Speech and Language Therapy had your origin in the educational environment, when the speech and language therapists were called rehabilitators and they looked for solutions to solve the language problems of the educationalists inside the school. Nowadays, it was detected some problems in this interlocution witch carry to a difficult in this activity. In this context, the aim of this research was to study representations which are in the base of the teacher and therapists discussions about the actuation of this last one, in the school, in order to reach a better comprehension between these professionals and contribute to the consolidation this professional identity. Through what was obtained by a middle structures interview, with eight participants, we looked for analyze the results founded into two views: a dialogic one, suggest by Bakhtin, which considers the interaction fundamental to the language, and the other, which also brings the Moscovici ideas, about the social representations conformed by the communicative action influences in the society and which can be expressed through the common sense. What we found in this research make us think the Speech and Language Therapy, as we know in Recife, it is not clear about the aims of the actuation inside the school. The Therapists interviewed still have an actuation representation bonded to the beginning of the history of this job, toward to the students difficulties, a reductionism view which could be emerged in these therapists formations who dont understand the healthy promotion as a most effective way to actuate in this reality. In the teachers view, about this theme, in spite of realize the bond to detection and treatment of pathologies, could emphasize this professional actuating in an inclusive view and to a student and teachers Speech and Language Therapy prevention. In the end of this research we observed that, if the study investments in this area, continue not enough, if changes doesnt happen in the university conceptions in relation to the action of this job in the school and, specially, if the few who actuate in educational institutions continue with this reductionism view about what to do, we will lose one more field actuation inside of the Speech and language Therapy, in the same way that the education will lose professionals who can help to generate big changes in the teach
