    As a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) my duties and responsibilities were that of offering special rehabilitation to children with any type of disorders, from speech to learning disabilities. It was to improve their overall day-to-day function in their home, and in society. Many of the children in which I treated all differed in the type of behavior they presented, the therapy and or modification of their reformation would greatly fluctuate depending on the case of each child. Each child had a set of goals that would have to be accomplished in order to reinforce the given behavior, strengthening their improvement. These objectives would be devised and instructed within the therapy setting at the clinic, but for some children the aims…

    Looking at Karl White the Eugenics Plague Doctor, the first thing that stood out to me is the grim appearance of the plague doctors. I remember learning a little bit about plague doctors of the Black Death in high school history classes, but I would have never imagined them to look like that. At first glance, they resemble someone who would practice black magic rather than the art of healing. From reading the preface of the artwork, these plague doctors are described as opportunistic quack doctors who took advantage of the helpless people by giving them false hope. The artwork makes a direct association of these unethical plague doctors to Karl White, who stands at the forefront of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs.…

    As we discuss communication disorders, it is important to discuss hearing disorders as well; it is essential to include hearing loss and deafness in the conversation in this course, seeing as these two things influence the ability to speak and communicate orally, seeing that hearing helps with acquiring and producing speech and language. A deaf person is a minority in the hearing world and often struggles to exchange information, ideas, feelings with those who are hearing. Thus, it is important to be informed about auditory issues and deaf culture. And the book is another resource to assist in gathering the knowledge on these issues and on the community to best serve individuals who are deaf, to remain cognizant of culturally diverse children and adults and to remain culturally competent. Train Go Sorry is also a reminder that deaf people are people first, just an everyone else who do not fit within the norm.…

    The purpose of this paper is to revisit previous literature addressing universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS), review current practices of UNHS, evaluate the factors relating to UNHS, and identify areas for improvement. The importance of identifying hearing loss before 3 months, and receiving intervention by 6 months of age, relates to children’s speech, language, academic, and social-emotional development. Not only does early diagnosis allow for optimal speech and language development, it also provides a longer period of time for families to obtain necessary information and receive support they may need (Yoshinaga-Itano, 2003). The ultimate goal of UNHS is to detect hearing loss early in order to treat hearing loss promptly, potentially…

    Men and women in the field of speech-language pathology become overworked and no longer desire to work in special education. The conditions compelling speech-language pathologists to leave are also causing students to not enter the field in the first place. However, the number of children who need their services continue to grow. SLPs who stay in the field are given larger and larger caseloads until they experience burnout as well. Speech-language pathologists are vital for the specific education that speech-language impaired children need.…

    Two things that I found interesting after I reviewed the website the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association are, how there uses the word “Habilitate” to describes the kind of service that a child with hearing loss need. There doesn’t use the word “rehabilitation” because in many case young children may not be able to talk, but they can train in listening well using a hearing aid. Each child with hearing problems needs an individual attention according to his needs, the children learn first recognize familiar voices. Also, how the communication difficulties often lead to social isolation and poor self-concept. Children have difficulties to build their social skills because they are not able to communicate and interact with peers, so it is important the young children have specialized intervention earlier.…
