Computerized technologies now offer unprecedented opportunities to provide real-time visual feedback to facilitate children’s speech–language development. We employed a mixed-method design to examine the effectiveness of two speech–language interventions aimed at facilitating children’s multisyllabic productions: one incorporated a novel computerized feedback system, VocSyl, while the other used a traditional noncomputerized pacing board. Eighteen children with a variety of diagnoses, all of who...
ASHA suggests the following definition: • Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a neurological childhood (pediatric) speech sound disorder in which the precision and consistency of movements underlying speech are impaired in the absence of neuromuscular deficits (e.g., abnormal reflexes, abnormal tone) . • CAS may occur as a result of known neurological impairment, in association with complex neurobehavioral disorders of known or unknown origin, or as an idiopathic neurogenic speech sound disorde...
Syndrome X fragile (SXF) is the most common cause of inhe- rited intellectual disability. It's characterized by a very specific physical and behavioral phenotype. The SXF is caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene located on chromosome X, locus Xq27.3. Gene mutation causes an abnormal number of repetitions of the triple CGG (cytosine-guanine- guanine). The SXF analysis represents a good model to determine the relationship between genes and behavior. The area of reading and writing in the fragile X...
Resumen Introduccion : El objetivo del articulo es realizar una revision actualizada de las difi cultades escolares de los ninos y adolescentes con trastornos de X fragil. El sindrome X fragil (SXF) es la causa mas frecuente de discapacidad intelectual hereditaria, asi como una causa comun de trastornos de aprendizaje y problemas conductuales. Se caracteriza por un fenotipo fisico y un fenotipo conductual muy especifi cos. El SXF esta causado por una mutacion del gen FMR1 (Fragile X Mental Retarda...
This article reviews the research on speech and language in children and adolescents with Down syndrome from a practical point of view. It identifies the typical profile of speech and language development, emphasising the variability in development for different individuals, and describes the main reasons for this profile as far as they are understood at the present time. Drawing on this information and what is known about the processes of speech and language development in typically developing ...
