One in six children is referred to local Speech and Language Therapy Services3 and almost 40% of these have a primary speech difficulty4, also classed as Speech Impairment5. 2. There is a wide range of developmental speech difficulties: • Structural difficulties such as cleft palate • Articulatory difficulties - incorrect placement for accurate sound production • Cognitive-linguistic difficulties with speech and language processing resulting in pronunciation difficulties. 3. Whilst these difficulties are classed as a developmental disability, very few presentations resolve without Speech and Language Therapy interventions6. These presentations can have long lasting 7 8 9 10 impacts for people including literacy difficulties , language impairment , educational achievement , 11 12 social interaction difficulties and possible offending behaviours . 4. One subset of Speech Impairment is the Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia (DVD) symptom cluster. This is now widely accepted13 but there is, as yet, no specific definition or agreed set of diagnostic characteristics; there is, however, general agreement about the types of features which contribute to the presentation14. 5. It is clear that the symptom cluster of Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia is rare15, that there is often over-identification of the presentation16 and that the DVD changes over time17, usually in response to clinical intervention. 6. It is recommended that the differential diagnosis and overall management of the Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia symptom cluster is led by a specialist Speech and Language Therapist with expertise in the field of Speech Impairment18. The management plan must include multi-agency negotiations in order that everyone involved, whether school, family, speech and language therapist or others, can support the child to reach their maximum potential. Within this document options for assessment and intervention are provided, but until further research evidence is available, no single approach can be identified as optimum. 7. This document provides a selection of single case studies and service studies as examples and exemplars of provision. It links to a range of other documents from RCSLT, together with providing a comprehensive reference list and additional bibliography. PLEASE NOTE This document has been developed primarily for the speech and language therapy workforce. The RCSLT hopes other professional groups and organisations together with parents, families and carers will find this to be a useful, relevant and informative resource. SLT specific terminology has been used in this document and if further explanation or guidance is needed please discuss this with a speech and language therapist. 1 Bercow 2008 2 Law 1992 3 Broomfield & Dodd 2005 4 ibid 5 Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists [RCSLT] 2009a 6 Broomfield & Dodd 2005, Wren & Roulstone 2008 7 RCSLT 2009a, Conti-Ramsden et al 2001, Law et al 1998, Stackhouse 1992b 8 Snowling & Stackhouse 1983 9 Lewis et al 2004 10 Teverovsky et al 2009 11 Conti Ramsden et al 2001 12 Snowling et al 2000 13 ASHA 2007, RCSLT 2009a 14 American Speech Language Hearing Association [ASHA] 2007 15 Shriberg et al 1997; Broomfield & Dodd 2005 16 Delaney & Kent 2004; Moriarty & Gillon 2006 17 Stackhouse 1992b 18 RCSLT 2006 © RCSLT 2011 3 Introduction 8. The political and social climate for speech and language therapists (SLTs) working with children with developmental communication impairment, also known as speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) continues to change and develop at a pace. The recent Bercow report (Bercow 2008) is testament to this fact. Speech and language difficulties are the most common developmental problem faced by young children (Law 1992), and around 40% of children with such difficulties have a primary speech difficulty (Broomfield & Dodd 2005). 9. The RCSLT Resource Manual for Commissioning and Planning Services for SLCN: Speech and Language Impairment (RCSLT 2009a) refers to this generic group of children as having Speech Impairment (SI). This top level term includes all types of speech difficulty, from structural (e.g. cleft palate) and articulatory to cognitive linguistic (phonological). It is this term that is adopted throughout the current document as the term to encompass the generic group. 10. Both ASHA (2007) [at www.asha.org/policy] and RCSLT (2009a) [at http://www.rcslt.org/speech_and_language_therapy/commissioning/resource_m anual_for_commissioning_and_planning_services] acknowledge that Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia (DVD) exists as a subtype of SI. It is this specific sub-type is the focus of the current document. Varying terminology is used across the world, including Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and Developmental Apraxia of Speech (DAS), but throughout this document, the preferred term will be Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia, in accordance with other UK documentation. 11. This document draws upon published evidence and expert consensus; specific evidence based guidelines cannot be produced until more research is conducted. 12. In recent years, the field of SI is increasingly acknowledged as being a specialist clinical area for SLTs, with specialist Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) posts being developed and specialist SLT clinical advisors being appointed. Furthermore, postgraduate qualifications in the specific area exist, for example there are postgraduate qualifications, including an MSc in Speech Difficulties at the University of Sheffield, together with PhD opportunities at Universities around the UK. 13. Children who present with SI, including DVD, may be unintelligible, even to familiar listeners, so they require support in terms of their ability to communicate

Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS) is a rare phenomenon where speech is characterized by a new accent to the patient’snative language. More than 100 cases with the syndrome have been published, the majority of which were associated with observed insults of the speech center. Some other cases have been described without identifiable organic brain injury, especially in patients with psychiatric illness. This paper presents a patient with schizophrenia and FAS, without any evidence of organic brain injury. FAS recurred during psychotic exacerbation and did not reverse before transfer to a long-term psychiatric facility. The case is discussed in the context of a brief review of the syndrome. 1. Introduction had a history of paranoid schizophrenia.

  • Foreign Accent Syndrome in a Patient with Multiple Sclerosis
    CASE REPORT Foreign Accent Syndrome in a Patient with Multiple Sclerosis Jacqueline I Bakker, Suzanne Apeldoorn, Luanne M Metz ABSTRACT: Background: Foreign accent syndrome is a speech disorder which leads listeners to perceive the patient as having a foreign accent. It has been recognized previously after stroke, brain injury or unknown causes. Case report:A 52-year-old woman with clinically definite relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) presented with episodes of what was perceived as a Dutch accent along with other neurologic symptoms that would resolve simultaneously. She was assessed by a speech therapist both during an episode and after complete recovery. Speech and MRI changes (showing deep white matter lesions in the corpus callosum, left pariental lobe and left frontal lobe) were consistent with previous reports of foreign accent syndrome. Conclusions: This patient’s episodes of foreign accent are thought to be due to her MS. This is the first case reported of a patient with foreign accent syndrome secondary to MS. RÉSUMÉ: Syndrome de “l’accent étranger” chez une patiente atteinte de sclérose en plaques. Introduction: Le syndrome de l’accent étranger est un trouble du langage dans lequel le patient est perçu par l’entourage comme ayant un accent étranger. Cet état a déjà été observé après un accident vasculaire cérébral, un traumatisme cérébral ou sans cause connue. Observation: Une femme âgée de 52 ans, atteinte de la forme rémittente de sclérose en plaques (SEP) confirmée, a consulté pour un phénomène épisodique comprenant un trouble du langage, perçu par l’entourage comme un accent hollandais associé à d’autres symptômes neurologiques qui disparaissaient simultanément.

Abstract Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a neurogenic, motor speech disorder that disrupts the planning for speech production. However, there are only a few reports that have described the evolution of stroke-induced AOS symptoms in the acute or sub-acute phase of recovery. The purpose of this report was to provide a data-based description of an individual with sub-acute AOS and aphasia followed from 1 month post-onset a stroke to 8 months post-stroke.

Specific language impairment as systemic developmental disorders Christophe Parisse1 and Christelle Maillart2 1- INSERM-MoDyCo, CNRS, Paris X Nanterre University 2- University of Liège 1 Abstract Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is a disorder characterised by slow, abnormal language development. Most children with this disorder do not present any other cognitive or neurological deficits. There are many different pathological developmental profiles and switches from one profile to another often occur. An alternative would be to consider SLI as a generic name covering three developmental language disorders: developmental verbal dyspraxia, linguistic dysphasia, and pragmatic language impairment. The underlying cause of SLI is unknown and the numerous studies on the subject suggest that there is no single cause. We suggest that SLI is the result of an abnormal development of the language system, occurring when more than one part of the system fails, thus blocking the system’s natural compensation mechanisms.

  • How to Find a Speech-Language Pathologist When Your Child Has Apraxia of Speech
    How to Find a Speech‐Language Pathologist When Your Child Has Apraxia of Speech Your child has been diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) or is suspected of having CAS. According to the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA) Position State‐ ment ) on CAS, a speech‐language pathologist (SLP) is the appro‐ priate professional to make the diagnosis of CAS and to provide treatment for this disorder. You are now on a mission to find an SLP to treat your child. Many parents wonder: How do I begin this part of the CAS journey? This brochure is intended to provide guidance in selecting an SLP. Please note that if you live outside of the United States, your therapist may have a professional title other than SLP. What Qualifications Should I Look For in an SLP? The SLP should be certified by the American Speech Language and Hearing Association (ASHA). In order to be certified, an SLP must have completed all coursework in an accredited program, have passed a national exam, and have completed a residency called a Clinical Fellowship Year (CFY). In addition, an SLP is required to participate in continuing education in order to retain the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC). Look for these credentials after an SLP’s name: CCC‐SLP or CFY‐SLP (an SLP currently in his/her residency). For countries other than the United States, look for clinicians who are associate members of ASHA and/or individuals who are affiliated with the professional or‐ ganization of their country. Be aware that there are different training requirements among countries.

  • Abadie's Sign Abadie's Sign Is the Absence Or Diminution of Pain Sensation When Exerting Deep Pressure on the Achilles Tendo
    A.qxd 9/29/05 04:02 PM Page 1 A Abadie’s Sign Abadie’s sign is the absence or diminution of pain sensation when exerting deep pressure on the Achilles tendon by squeezing. This is a frequent finding in the tabes dorsalis variant of neurosyphilis (i.e., with dorsal column disease). Cross References Argyll Robertson pupil Abdominal Paradox - see PARADOXICAL BREATHING Abdominal Reflexes Both superficial and deep abdominal reflexes are described, of which the superficial (cutaneous) reflexes are the more commonly tested in clinical practice. A wooden stick or pin is used to scratch the abdomi- nal wall, from the flank to the midline, parallel to the line of the der- matomal strips, in upper (supraumbilical), middle (umbilical), and lower (infraumbilical) areas. The maneuver is best performed at the end of expiration when the abdominal muscles are relaxed, since the reflexes may be lost with muscle tensing; to avoid this, patients should lie supine with their arms by their sides. Superficial abdominal reflexes are lost in a number of circum- stances: normal old age obesity after abdominal surgery after multiple pregnancies in acute abdominal disorders (Rosenbach’s sign). However, absence of all superficial abdominal reflexes may be of localizing value for corticospinal pathway damage (upper motor neu- rone lesions) above T6. Lesions at or below T10 lead to selective loss of the lower reflexes with the upper and middle reflexes intact, in which case Beevor’s sign may also be present. All abdominal reflexes are preserved with lesions below T12. Abdominal reflexes are said to be lost early in multiple sclerosis, but late in motor neurone disease, an observation of possible clinical use, particularly when differentiating the primary lateral sclerosis vari- ant of motor neurone disease from multiple sclerosis.

  • HIE and Speech Delays/Language Disorders
    HIE and Speech Delays/Language Disorders Jump To: Speech delays and language disorders associated with HIE When should a child get speech-language therapy? What causes speech delays and language disorders? Therapy for speech delays and language disorders What happens during speech language therapy? Additional benefits of speech-language therapy Why is speech-language therapy important? About HIE Help Center Brain injury due to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is rarely confined to a single area of the brain. Because oxygen deprivation affects the connections in the brain on a global level, it is often possible that children with HIE will have multiple interrelated delays in development. Children with HIE can sometimes have delays in developing speech and language. These delays can sometimes be mitigated, while in other more severe circumstances, children may remain non-verbal and require the use of alternative or augmentative communication (AAC) technologies to potentially assist them in communicating their thoughts, needs, and desires. HIE and Speech Delays/Language Disorders | 1 HIE and Speech Delays/Language Disorders Developing a method for communicating helps these children interact with others, develop relationships, learn, work, and socialize. Speech and language are clearly highly interrelated, but they are not interchangeable (1). Speech refers to the physical act of expressing words and sounds, and encompasses the act of the muscles in the lips, tongue, vocal tract, and jaw that make recognizable sounds. Language, on the other hand, refers to communicating in a systematic and meaningful way. Because language is related to intelligence, disorders in language acquisition and expression are generally considered more serious than speech disorders.
