Speech disorder

The earliest of studies for speech sounds has been studied intensively since the early 1930s. Studies concerning the acquisition of phonemes are used in clinical practice and serve as a guideline to a practicing clinician. The earliest of studies came from 1931 by Wellman, Case, Mengert and Bradbury. Following Wellman’s findings, other researchers found new material and listing different ages in comparison to Wellman’s research. Sander (1972) discusses the various individuals that contributed to…

made fun of. I had a cousin, who had a speech sound disorder because her family would speak to her in both English and Spanish. So, when she attempted to speak, the words that would come out her mouth would be gibberish. No one knew what she was saying or even trying to say. People and even her own family would make fun of her because of her speech disorder. They would call her an alien, weirdo, and other names because of the way she talked. She needed speech therapy and after a couple of years,…

variety of treatments have attempted to ameliorate overt stuttering behaviors; however, most therapeutic options provide unstable, effortful, and/or unnatural sounding results with high relapse rates. Recent research suggests second speech signals provide natural sounding speech coupled with stable and effortless reductions in overt stuttering frequency; yet its current application, employed acoustically, has several limitations. A tactile modality may be more comfortable and reduce the…

my field experience, I was placed in a third grade classroom under a speech pathologist in Lispalot Elementary in the Oklahoma City public school district. The following instructional strategy essay will be based on a third grade class, with speech disorders, who are unable to accomplish kindergarten standards and objectives in phonics. We plan on using technology and games to work with students on their specific speech disorder. The classroom has a total of four students, which isn’t too…

Healthcare professionals and parents should understand the importance of early identification and intervention (JCIH, 1994). Hearing loss affects children’s speech, language, academic, and social/emotional development if not identified early. The first three years in children’s lives are crucial for speech and language development. Thus, the ultimate goal of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) is to detect hearing loss early in order to treat hearing loss sooner, preventing a delay in…

amount of knowledge on the topic of Public Speaking. From speech one to speech speech four I have improved in language/style, organization/structure, supporting my ideas, vocal delivery, and physical delivery. Words are anything but powerless language helps the audience to understand and create meaning. Language can bring people together for a common cause, and language can persuade the audience to act a certain way. In my first speech I thought I did a decent job of using language and…

small or bigger group of people whether we like it or not. Public speaking cannot be eliminated, we do it often even without realizing it, and sadly for those people who doesn’t like doing it including myself ended up not not being able to deliver the speech very well. But, what is there to be afraid of public speaking? I was born and raise in the Philippines until 2008 of December when my family and I migrated in the United States of America. Although many foreign people think that we use…

best speech, but there were parts of this speech that I believe that I did better on than the last speech. Like B.B. King I love to learn and hope that in my next speech I will notice new areas of growth in my speaking ability. My reflection begins with eye contact and body movement, moving on to the use of voice, and ending with the organization of the speech. Opening with delivery, the thing that stuck out the most was that my eye contact was poor at best. In the beginning of the speech, I…

I’ll openly admit that I was terrified at first of the thought of taking another public speaking class. After having taken it in high school, I believed my time taking such a course was over. But I was wrong. I was told that it was a college requirement and was absolutely essential that I take another public speaking course. Fast forward to now and here I am, finally having taken the class in what is now the summer before my senior year of college. With the class over now it is time to reflect.…

language-related goals for this activity center are: phonological (awareness of the connections between speech sounds and written symbols), semantic (awareness that pictures and symbols communicate meaning and print carries a message), and syntactic (awareness that messages can be created through using a range of preconventional and conventional…
