Stimulation Therapy

Decent Essays
When addressing syntactic comprehension problems, the use of stimulation treatment aims to understand what stimuli enhances the ability of the client during therapy. The goal would be to identify what stimuli helps or hurts the client linguistic abilities. Once this is determined, the goal of therapy would be to expose the client to the stimulus that will evoke language function. Examples of this form of therapy would be melodic intonation therapy, where the clinician uses music and singing to stimulate word production from the client. Through unison singing and melodic manner in which the words are presented, the clinician, through this form of stimulation therapy, is able to elicit word production. Another form of stimulation therapy is through

    Although developmental norms can serve as a guideline, they should not be the only resources used. Developmental norms represent a sample population and cannot observe the individuals’ skill set. The second treatment target is stimulability can be described as a treatment target in which the sounds that are produced incorrectly can be produced correctly when there is another stimulus along with it. Another recommendation for the target of stimulability is that the targets that are more stimulable should be treated faster than those that are not stimulable. An important recommendation based on research indicates that the treatment of phonological errors is that an error should be treated when it happens 40% of the time.…

    Although language production and comprehension is associated with regions within the left hemisphere, it is possible for areas within the right hemisphere to compensate for language deficits in aphasic patients. In this study, the general question is whether or not activation in the right hemisphere is more likely with patients who have severe aphasia, as opposed to patients with mild aphasia who are able to recover by utilizing unaffected language areas or perilesional areas. The main hypothesis is that subjects with chronic non-fluent aphasia will recruit right-hemispheric areas to improve their language functions following two weeks of constraint-induced aphasia therapy. The independent variable is the aphasic experimental group compared to the control group, and the dependent variables are activation in the regions of interest and the behavioral improvements. In this study, the regions of interest were the inferior frontal gyrus…

    Complementary and Alternative medical (CAM) Biomedical Intervention, also called complementary and alternative medical (CAM) treatments, are commonly used by individuals with autism. Recent surveys reveal the prevalence of CAM use in children with autism to be between 30% and 95%. Although this variability is likely related to the substantial differences in survey design and the populations studied (Goin -Kochel et al., 2006 ; Green et al., 2006 ; Wong and Smith, 2006). Examples of CAM treatments include hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Rossignol et al., 2007) and omega-3 fatty acids to target an inflammatory process, methyl B12 (James et al., 2004) and GSH to target oxidative stress, and chelation…

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Inclusive academic instruction and psychopharmacology have had a positive impact on children with EBD; however, researchers place an immense emphasis on the use of cognitive behavioral interventions to effectively treat children with EBD in the classroom (Mayer & Acker, 2005). Cognitive behavioral interventions consist of teaching students with EBD to understand and modify their own thoughts and behaviors (Mayer & Acker, 2005).

    Sensory stimulation also counts as a form of recommended treatment for patients in a vegetative state. This treatment may be used in an attempt to increase responsiveness in the patient. It involves stimulating the main senses, such as vision, hearing and smell. The treatment is in most cases conducted by a well trained healthcare specialist; however the patient’s family members are encouraged to take an active role. As already stated, since the aim of the treatment is to appeal to the sense, the examples of sensory stimulation may include the following: visual – where the patient would be shown pictures of friends and family, or they can be shown their favourite movie.…
