Book SynopsisThe functional approach to the treatment of aphasia is embodied in the methods and techniques of Promoting Aphasic's Communicative Effectiveness (PACE), which has had an international influence on the way therapists approach the rehabilitation of aphasia patients. However, there is a shortage of research into the approach and little up-to-date practical guidance on its application. D. Carlomagno's concise book aims to provide a guide to the use and efficacy of PACE methodology which should be useful for aphasia therapists.Table of ContentsForeword. Preface. Acknowledgements. Introduction. Chapter 1 Communicative competence in aphasia andtherapies for improving communication. Chapter 2 PACE approach: a comprehensive theory for a pragmatically oriented method of treating aphasic disturbances. Chapter 3 PACE therapeutic practice. Chapter 4 Evaluating communicative effectiveness of patient (and therapist's behaviour) in the PACE setting.

Book SynopsisThis book looks at the major changes that have occurred in the theory and practice of speech therapy for children with developmental speech disorders. It looks at current issues and their clinical implications, but the overall aim of the book is to set clinical practice firmly in a theoretical framework. While it is therefore essentially a practical book for practitioners, it also engages in the academic investigation of the nature of the different types of developmental speech disorders and their consequences for the children. This discussion provides the framework in which to consider clinical management and specific clinical techniques. A recurrent theme throughout each chapter is the impact of linguistics upon our understanding and management of children' s problems in learning to pronounce. There is no doubt that the linguistic revolution in speech and language pathology has produced an entirely new perspective on these disorders by identifying the phonological dimension of speech development. Of equal importance is the expansion of knowledge about children' s language development. Much more information is now available about phonological development in terms of what the developmental changes are and when they occur. This information is valuable in assessment and diagnosis. The book also includes a number of competing theories explaining how children develop their pronunciation patterns. These theories provide the premises upon which to establish a principled theory of therapy. To reflect these issues and their clinical implications the book is divided into three sections. The first section explores the framework within which to discuss developmental speech disorders. The second section covers three specific types of pathological conditions with which developmental speech disorders are associated. The third section examines the problems of children who have no evident major disabling condition and yet they experience severe difficulties learning to pronounce and subsequently, more often than not, learning to read and write.Table of ContentsPart 1.

Book SynopsisThis work aims to bring together a wide-ranging set of clinical linguistic case studies covering all levels of linguistic analysis and demonstrating the application of more than one level of linguistic analysis to individual cases. It focuses on "patient-driven" cases. The authors aim to demonstrate the collaborative nature of applied linguistics by illustrating the kind of service that speech and language therapists may reasonably ask of linguists, without feeling that they need have expertize in this area themselves. The case studies include a representative range of communication disorders and involve a wide range of areas of linguistics and phonetics. Most of the studies incoporate complementary analysis at several linguistic levels, and involve a wide variety of analytical techniques including standard assessments and profiling procedures, instrumental and computational procedures, and improvised materials tailored to the specific nature of individual cases.Table of ContentsPart 1. Preliminaries. Principles of Clinical Linguistic Analysis. Part 2. Developmental Communication Disorders. Intransigent Articulation disorder.

Book SynopsisRelationships are built through dialogue - through exploring heartfelt questions that lead to liberating personal insights. This book shows how such dialogue can transform relationships and build community. However, true meeting and healing conversations take effort. Encounter involves light and dark. Relationships bring out sympathy and antipathy. In an age of digital communications and internet-based encounters - when alienation and loneliness are very real issues - this new edition of Margarete van den Brink's classic work is more vital than ever. The process of inner development - leading ultimately to the unification of the human self with its higher, spiritual being - involves a transformation in our everyday selves. In this act of initiation, the art of conversation plays a central role. The words which people speak to each other contain a force that can work in an invigorating and life-enhancing way. This force - which can be more precious than light itself - is the highest creative principle, the Word referred to in the Gospel of St John, which created everything that exists. Informed by the insights of anthroposophy, More Precious than Light indicates the path towards the spirit and the lost power of the Word, transforming relationships and building community. True encounter can only be fostered through building real connections with our fellow human beings.Table of ContentsForeword - New Times - Meeting and conversing - Self knowledge and change - Paths to Christ - Notes - Biographies

Book SynopsisThis book presents a journey into how language is put together for speaking and understanding and how it can come apart when there is injury to the brain. The goal is to provide a window into language and the brain through the lens of aphasia, a speech and language disorder resulting from brain injury in adults. This book answers the question of how the brain analyzes the pieces of language, its sounds, words, meaning, and ultimately puts them together into a unitary whole. While its major focus is on clinical, experimental, and theoretical approaches to language deficits in aphasia, it integrates this work with recent technological advances in neuroimaging to provide a state-of-the-art portrayal of language and brain function. It also shows how current computational models that share properties with those of neurons allow for a common framework to explain how the brain processes language and its parts and how it breaks down according to these principles. Consideration will also be given to whether language can recover after brain injury or when areas of the brain recruited for speaking, understanding, or reading are deprived of input, as seen with people who are deaf or blind. No prior knowledge of linguistics, psychology, computer science, or neuroscience is assumed. The informal style of this book makes it accessible to anyone with an interest in the complexity and beauty of language and who wants to understand how it is put together, how it comes apart, and how language maps on to the brain.Table of ContentsChapter1: Introduction.- Chapter2: Getting Started.- Chapter3: The sounds of language.- Chapter4: The words of language: the mental lexicon.- Chapter5: What does it mean: semantics.- Chapter6: Putting words together: Syntax.- Chapter7: Why two hemispheres: the role of the right hemisphere in language.- Chapter8: The plastic brain.- Chapter9: Wrapping up.

Book SynopsisThis book presents a journey into how language is put together for speaking and understanding and how it can come apart when there is injury to the brain. The goal is to provide a window into language and the brain through the lens of aphasia, a speech and language disorder resulting from brain injury in adults.

Book SynopsisThis voice-driven, narrative, non-fiction book relays the stories of seven courageous women whose lives have been greatly impacted by a loved one’s stroke, resulting in loss of language ability to one degree or another. Aphasia leads to varying degrees of problems in speaking, understanding, reading, writing, gesturing, and using numbers. Aphasia can be extremely stressful for both the individual who had the stroke and for their family and friends. Speech is such a significant part of human interaction, and it’s something that most people take for granted. It’s hard to be able to communicate if you’ve been dependent upon verbal communication and yours is suddenly impaired. Fortunately, some recovery from aphasia is possible, and there are still ways to effectively communicate, even with aphasia. The stories contained in the book are intended to help others feel less alone as they navigate their loss and the confusing healthcare system. The stories are told from the advent of a stroke of their loved-ones and describe how these caretakers persevered to find quality medical services and to provide home care. Caring For a Loved One with Aphasia After Stroke is written for people who are going through a similar crisis, or for those in the medical and/or speech/language field who are interested to learn more about perseverance and hope that are critical to aphasia.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThe Yale Swallow Protocol is an evidence-based protocol that is the only screening instrument that both identifies aspiration risk and, when passed, is able to recommend specific oral diets without the need for further instrumental dysphagia testing. Based upon research by Drs. Steven B. Leder and Debra M. Suiter, an easily administered, reliable and validated swallow screening protocol was developed and can be used by speech-language pathologists, nurses, otolaryngologists, oncologists, neurologists, intensivists and physicians assistants. In addition, the protocol can be used in a variety of environments, including acute care, rehabilitation and nursing homes. The Yale Swallow Protocol meets all of the criteria necessary for a successful screening test, including being simple to administer, cross-disciplinary, cost effective, acceptable to patients and able to identify the target attribute by giving a positive finding when aspiration risk is present and a negative finding when aspiration risk is absent. Additionally, early and accurate identification of aspiration risk can significantly reduce health-care costs associated with recognized prandial aspiration.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisRita Brehm stellt neue Methoden zur Stabilisierung der Sprechwahrnehmung von Schülern vor – wie das „Handlautieren“ oder das „Silbenkonstruieren“ – und erläutert, wie das Silbentrennen, Abschreiben, Diktieren oder Lesen methodisch effizienter zu gestalten ist. Sie zeigt, dass im Zeitalter der Inklusion phonetisch-phonologische Methoden aus der Sprachtherapie zunehmend Eingang in die schulische Förderung gefunden haben. Zur wirksamen Bekämpfung von Lese- und Rechtschreibstörungen benötigt man effiziente Lernmethoden auf der Grundlage wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse. Ziel dabei ist, über die Festigung der phonologischen Bewusstheit mit dem eigenen Sprechen gleichermaßen das Lesen und Schreiben anzubahnen und zu festigen. Darüber hinaus erklärt die Autorin, wie das Abschreiben effektiver wird, warum Kurzdiktate unverzichtbar sind und wie Schüler zum beständigen Lesen motiviert werden können.Trade Review“... Der Leser bekommt zunächst einen Einblick in die wichtigsten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse über phonetisch-phonologische Aspekte gesprochener Sprache sowie deren Auswirkungen auf die schriftliche Sprache. ... ein aufschlussreiches, gut verständliches und empfehlenswertes Kurz-Buch für alle, die sich für Lese-Rechtschreibstörungen interessieren und mehr über die Grundlagen sowie den Einsatz wirkungsvoller Methoden bei der Behandlung erfahren möchten.” (Sandra Fuchs, in: Psychologie FoxBlog, sanfuchs1979.wordpress.com, 12.

Book SynopsisDieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung, Pilotierung und Evaluation eines theoriegeleiteten Steigerungssystems für den Erwerb der Verbzweitstellung bei spracherwerbsauffälligen Kindern auf der Grundlage des DYSTEL-Konzeptes. In zwei empirischen Studien analysiert die Autorin mittels einer Befragung von Sprachtherapeutinnen den Status quo der Anforderungen an das Kind in syntaktischen Therapien. Auf der Grundlage des Emergenz- und Finitheitsmodells leitet sie entwicklungsorientierte und strukturelle Kriterien für eine frühe produktive Erprobungsphase ab. Der Vorschlag zur Steigerung des Niveaus in Verbzweittherapien unterscheidet sich mit seiner Ausrichtung am entwicklungsdynamischen Fähigkeitsprofil der Kinder von den aktuell in der Praxis zugrunde gelegten Maßstäben und belegt in Prä-Post-Testvergleichen, dass das Konzept des Steigerns nach qualitativen Kriterien sinnvoll und erfolgreich ist.Trade Review“... Am Anfang des Buches werden Grundlagen der grammatischen Entwicklung, der bisherigen Forschungen und Therapieansätze auf eine sehr gut lesbare Weise beschrieben. … Optisch lässt das Buch eher einen sehr theoretischen und wissenschaftlichen Text vermuten und beim ersten Durchblättern fallen auch die Tabellen und Diagramme sehr ins Auge.

Book SynopsisSabine Degenkolb-Weyers beschäftigt sich mit der Implementierung einer Resilienzentwicklung in Fachberufen des Gesundheitswesens. Ziel ist eine Erhöhung der psychischen Widerstandsfähigkeit der Auszubildenden, um den Ansprüchen in der therapeutischen Rolle gerecht zu werden. Studierende werden während der fachpraktischen Ausbildung in therapeutischen Gesundheitsfachberufen als Novizen in der Therapie mit eigenen Unsicherheiten in Lernkrisen und Stresssituationen konfrontiert und mit Krisen von Patienten in Kontakt kommen. Die Autorin untersucht die Frage, warum es den einen Studierenden gelingt, gestärkt aus diesen Problemsituationen herauszugehen, und warum andere psychisch oder physisch krank werden und das Studium abbrechen. Sie stellt dabei die besonderen Anforderungen und Kompetenzen in den therapeutischen Gesundheitsfachberufen dar und entwickelt Konzepte, die Vermittlung beruflicher Handlungs- und Resilienzkompetenz zu realisieren. Diese Konzepte sollten in Ausbildung sowie Studiengängen in den Gesundheitsberufen integriert werden.Trade Review“… ist eine Fundgruppe an wichtigen Quellen. … kann dieser hervorragenden Arbeit, aber auch der realen Implementierung des Resilienzkonzepts nur eine große Verbreitung wünschen, denn neben der methodisch-inhaltlichen Kompetenz der logopädischen Tätigkeit ist die Auseinandersetzung mit den eigenen Ressourcen von zentraler Bedeutung für ein nachhaltig erfülltes Berufsleben der tätigen Sprachtherapeuten.” (Peter Dicks, in: Forum Logopädie, Jg. 31, Heft 2, März 2017)Table of ContentsTherapeutische Kompetenz in Gesundheitsfachberufen.- Erwachsenenpädagogische Interventionen.- Theorie – Praxistransfer: Konzept zur Resilienzförderung im Studium.

Book SynopsisAntje Krüger zeigt, dass neben der Aneignung fachlichen Wissens eine Erweiterung der Ausbildung um die Entwicklung der emotionalen Kompetenz erforderlich ist. Die Autorin stellt fest, dass Kompetenzentwicklung gelingen kann, wenn Wechselbeziehungen und Kommunikation zwischen den Lernenden untereinander und zwischen Lernenden und Lehrenden möglich sind. Im zweiten Teil legt die Autorin dar, dass die Ausbildungssupervision ein Instrumentarium ist, das sich durch die gezielte und gesteuerte Verzahnung von Theorie und Praxis auszeichnet. Dadurch wird reflexives Handeln ermöglicht, neue Perspektiven werden aufgezeigt. Die Ausbildungssupervision unterstützt und regt die klinisch-praktische Kompetenzentwicklung an. Sie bietet eine individuelle, persönlichkeits- und entwicklungsorientierte Begleitung im Professionalisierungs- und Rollenfindungsprozess werdender Logopädinnen und Logopäden. Trade Review“... die verschiedenen Begriffe und ihre Zusammenhänge gut erläutert, sodass das noch relativ junge Themengebiet der Kompetenzen und ihrer Entwicklung auch für Leser, die in diesem Bereich noch unerfahren sind, verständlich und nachvollziehbar dargestellt werden ...” (Sarah Gerding, in: Forum Logopädie, Jg. 31, Heft 5, September 2017)Table of ContentsGrundlagen der Logopädieausbildung.- Kompetenzentwicklung und Supervision in der klinisch-praktischen Logopädieausbildung.- Theorie-Praxistransfer – die Ausbildungssupervision.

Book SynopsisIt was during a pleasant and warm (both literally and figuratively) two- week period in October, 1991 that a number of researchers, scholars and c1inicians from diverse lands gathered at the beautiful Chateau de Bonas, near Toulouse, France to discuss psychological, neuropsychological and neurolinguistic aspects of reading and writing disorders. The occasion for the serious disputations of theories, research findings and c1inical appli- cations was the Advanced Study Institute (ASI) under the auspices of the Scientific Affairs Division of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). There was much sharing of mutual experiences, and considerable debate on some issues. There were also friendly exchanges, 'international' ping-pong, tennis matches, and bicyc1e races, and even some convivial- ity akin to that of a c1ass reunion with members telling their stories of yesterday and visions of tomorrow. All these serious scientific disputations and the friendly exchanges would not have been possible without the major assistance from NATO and other institutions and individuals. We wish to express our deep appre- ciation to Dr. L. v. da Cunha ofNATO Scientific Affairs Division, Dr. Tilo Kester and Mrs. Barbara Kester of the International Transfer of Science and Technology (ITST) for their active support and substantial assistance throughout the Advanced Study Institute; Mr. Charles Stockman and his staff of the Chateau de Bonas for looking after our stay there; Christi Martin and Xi-Wu Feng of Oklahoma State University, and the University of Saskatchewan generally for facilitating our work.Table of ContentsPreface.

Book SynopsisThe book focuses on the interaction of persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is a neurobiological developmental disorder, characterized by problems with social interaction, over-sensitivity to sensory stimuli and restricted interest (APA 2013). Problems with social interaction being a core feature of ASD, there is a scientific and a societal need for a book focusing on this topic. The book approaches the interaction of persons with ASD from a new angle. Firstly, where most studies on ASD are based on data coming from experimental settings, this book is based on naturally occurring data coming from group therapy sessions where 11–13-year-old Finnish- and French-speaking boys with ASD talk with each other and with their therapists. Secondly, the book treats a variety of themes that have so far been studied much less than, for example, the pragmatic problems of persons with ASD. These themes include the following aspects: speech prosody (characteristic features, perception of atypicality by neurotypical listeners), disfluencies of speech (comparison with neurotypical controls), comprehension problems (role of prosody, role of disfluencies, other causes), gaze behavior (eye contact avoidance strategies, using gaze as a source of feedback) as well as therapists’ response strategies and teaching orientations. The book is intended for researchers working in the field of autism, professionals working with persons with ASD as well as for families of persons with ASD.Table of ContentsPreface1.
