Explanations for the Concept of Apraxia of Speech
8 Explanations for the Concept of Apraxia of Speech HUGH W. BUCKINGHAM, JR. The term APRAXIA OF SPEECH has had an extremely variable history. It has been used to describe different types of behaviors, in different types of patients, and under different stimulus conditions. The term has been used, often with qualifying modifiers, to describe syndromes or parts of syn- dromes. The different conceptualizations of apraxia in general have en- gendered inconsistencies for the definition of apraxia of speech. I propose that under certain interpretations there are additional forms of apraxia of speech that differ from the frontal lobe and insular speech apraxias. It is a sine qua non that certain phonological functions operate in ways that do not acknowledge the physical descriptions that characterize the sensory-motor practic functions of the nervous system (Goldsmith, 1995). Much of the impasse and tension in the discussions of apraxia of speech is due to the gulf between the explanatory vocabularies of the men- tal versus the physical sciences (J. Jackson, 1931b). Phonological functions involve selecting and sequencing of phoneme-like units that speakers BE- LIEVE themselves to be uttering. In actuality, they are uttering sounds, or PHONES, which may then be considered as being produced by nervous fir- ings giving rise to complex and synchronous muscular contractions that result in acoustic impingements on the air. The description of phonologi- cal processing should not imply that phonemes "are sounds" or that they are articulated. Phonemes ARE NOT SOUNDS. They are "psychologically real" abstract categories for which no invariant factor, articulatory or acoustic, has yet been found--nor is ever likely to be found. -

Dyscalculia: an Essential Guide for Parents

About 5% to 7% of students have dyscalculia, which is just as common in girls as it is in boys. It is not an intellectual disability. In fact, the definition of dyscalculia according to the American Psychiatric Association is a specific learning disability that affects the normal acquisition of arithmetic skills in spite of normal intelligence. This particular learning disability is also not affected by opportunities to learn, emotional stability, or motivation. In other words, the quality of education your child receives and their 5 desire to learn math has nothing to do with dyscalculia because it is caused by physical issues in the brain. Research suggests that, like other learning disabilities, -

If Not the Brain, Then What? a Paradigm for Preservice Intervention Specialists That Provides an Understanding of Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children
Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Vol. 11, No. 1, January 2011, pp. 91 – 107. If not the brain, then what? A paradigm for preservice intervention specialists that provides an understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders in children Mary T. Cameron1 Abstract: This article contends that although Intervention Specialists are presented with a variety of children with diverse challenges that arise from neurological dysfunction, few teacher education programs adequately prepare teachers to understand, recognize and address these needs. The University of Findlay requires candidates in the post- baccalaureate program to take a course entitled Neurobiology of Learning that was developed to offer preservice teachers of special education insights into the underlying neurobiological causes of learning and behavioral challenges experienced in the classroom. A child neurologist teams with a professor in the college of education to provide the content for the four components of the course, a feature that distinguishes it from related course offerings in other Colleges of Education. This paper outlines the content of the course and discusses the importance of including neuroscience in the curriculum of preservice teachers, so that they may be better prepared to deliver services to children with special needs. Keywords: neurobiology, learning, curriculum, preservice teachers, special education, neuroscience I. Introduction. Over the last twenty-five years, neuroscience has concentrated on the most complex of its frontiers: the neurobiology of cognition and behavior. Yet, as Carew and Magsamen (2010) lament, researchers and neuroscientists are worlds apart in forming hypotheses about how people learn, and how to translate findings into classroom practice. While it may seem ludicrous to the modern educator to think of any other source of cognition but the brain, the very term “brain based learning” speaks to the disconnect between educational interventions and the state of our neuroscientific knowledge base. -
Clinical Guide to Assessment and Treatment of Communication Disorders Best Practices in Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Care
Best Practices in Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Care Series Editor: Fred R. Volkmar Patricia A. Prelock Ti any L. Hutchins Clinical Guide to Assessment and Treatment of Communication Disorders Best Practices in Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Care Series Editor Fred R. Volkmar Yale University New Haven, CT, USA Best Practices in Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Care series explores a range of topics relevant to primary care providers in managing a broad range of child and adolescent mental health problems. These include specific disorders, such as anxiety; relevant topics in related disciplines, including psychological assessment, communication assessment, and disorders; and such general topics as management of psychiatric emergencies. The series aims to provide primary care providers with leading-edge information that enables best-care management of behavioral health issues in children and adolescents. The volumes published in this series provide concise summaries of the current research base (i.e., what is known), best approaches to diagnosis and assessment, and leading evidence-based management and treatment strategies. The series also provides information and analysis that primary care providers need to understand how to interpret and implement best treatment practices and enable them to interpret and implement recommendations from specialists for children and effectively monitor interventions.

Life after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1281. 97 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9762-0. Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating disease with mean age of 59 years. SAH accounts for 5% of all stroke and more than one quarter of potential life years lost through stroke. With the advanced neurosurgical methods of today two thirds of the patients survive. We know, however, that various cognitive, psychiatric and physical impairments are common that affect quality of life, social life, and the ability to work in the aftermath of SAH. The overall aim constituting this PhD dissertation is to better understand some of the challenges often faced by those surviving SAH. Two SAH patient cohorts have been studied. The first followed 96 consecutively included patients during the first year after ictus. Spasticity and cognitive impairment was assessed after 6 months and the Swedish stroke register follow-up form was used to investigate family support and the use of medical and social services.
