Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most fascinating problems in Behavioural Neurology is the question of the cerebral organization for language during childhood. Acquired aphasia in children, albeit rare, is a unique circumstance in which to study the relations between language and the brain during cerebral maturation. Its study further contributes to our understanding of the recovery processes and brain plasticity during childhood. But while there is a great amount of information and experimental work on brain-behaviour relationships in adult subjects, the literature about the effects of focal brain lesions in children is both exiguous and scattered throughout scientific journals and books. We felt it was time to organize a meeting where scientists in this field could compare their experiences and discuss ideas coming from different areas of research. A workshop on Acquired Aphasia in Children was held in Sintra, Portugal, on September 13-15, 1990, and attended by 44 participants from 13 differents countries. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal and the group was kept small to achieve this effect. It was a very lively and pleasant meeting. Some consensus was indeed arrived at concerning methodological problems, definition of terms, and guidelines for future research. The main contributions are collected in this book which, we hope, will serve the scientific community as a reference work on Childhood Aphasia. I,P.M., AC.C.

This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Münster (Englisches Seminar), course: Cognitive Linguistics, language: English, abstract: "Aphasia is the neurological term for any language disorder that results from brain damage caused by disease or trauma."1 The disorder is not exclusively found in adults, but may also occur in children. To lose the ability to understand and produce language may be a major catastrophe for children and has enormous consequences for their whole life, even if speech is regained after some time.2 Therefore, it is astonishing how little is known about the subject and how controversially it is discussed in literature. This paper introduces into acquired childhood aphasia with focus on a syndrome called Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, in which aphasia and epilepsy are combined. Landau-Kleffner Syndrome will be discussed in regard to symptoms, aetiology, therapy and prognosis. Moreover, it will be compared to other forms of acquired childhood aphasia.

Download or read book Children s Acquired Aphasia Screening Test CAAST written by Renata Whurr and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1999-03-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acquired childhood aphasia (ACA) refers to the language impairments that may follow a brain lesion sustained after the age of acquisition of first sentences. The CAAST is designed to identify language disturbances in brain- damaged children in the three to seven year old age group who acquire ACA following accident or illness. The test was constructed along the same systematic sensory-motor input/output multi-modality framework as the adult Aphasia Screening Test. The 25 subtests (each of 5 items), 12 for assessment of comprehension and 13 for assessment of production, were carefully selected to be suitable for children aged from 2 to 7 years. Test materials were designed to be simple, unambiguous, easy to administer and manipulate. The test was normed on 108 healthy children in the age range from 3 to 7 years. The screening battery was used to assess several children with ACA and provided a profile of qualitative and qualitative of pre-linguistic and linguistic impairments. This profile provides an objective basis for planning management and treatment. Re- assessment produces objective outcome measures of changes in pre-linguistic and linguistic function. The battery consists of 5 subtests of visual perception which involve matching objects, shapes, pictures and colours. One pre-reading test requires matching letter -like shapes. Six auditory language subtests involve selecting objects, pictures, colours, animal action pictures and pictures of object by function. Tests for speech and language production include 4 pre speech tests where the child imitates tongue movements, animal sounds, speech sounds and counts aloud from one to ten. Language production tests include picture confrontation naming, sentence formulation, picture description and conversational responses. Additionally there are drawing , copying and gestural tests. The CAAST is box packed and consists of:1 CAAST Test Display Book (spiral bound, p.24)1 CAAST Test Instruction Manual (including normative data and patient profiles, p.42) 10 CAAST Test Objects 25 CAAST Test Cards *10 CAAST Assessment Record Forms *10 CAAST Pass/Fail Record Forms *10 CAAST Summary Record Forms *10 CAAST Transcription Record Forms *10 CAAST Drawing and Copying Forms *Items may be purchased separately: 1999 £150.00 ISBN 1 89763 588 5

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language disorders in children are one of the most frequent causes of difficulties in communication, social interaction, learning and academic achievement. It has been estimated that over 5% of children present with some kind of language disorder. This volume illustrates the state of the art in neurogenic language disorders in children. The most recent findings about acquired epileptiform aphasias (from Landau-Kleffner syndrome to autistic regression) are presented and discussed.Language disorders in children with early brain lesions are reviewed in relation to the side of the lesion and their epileptic correlates (e.g., paroxysmal abnormalities during NREM sleep). New clinical reports are presented and a large discussion is held on language disorders due to malformation or tumor lesions localized to the Posterior Fossa. The last part of the volume reviews the state of the art on some of the most debated clinical neurolinguistic pictures of developmental age such as crossed aphasia in children, the modality and types of aphasia recovery in children and persistent acquired childhood aphasia. This volume is the fifth in a series of books commissioned by the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stimulus for writing this book arose from the author's perception of a lack of available texts which adequately integrate the subjects of neuroanatomy and functional neurology with the practice of speech language pathology. This perception was gained from almost two decades of teaching in the areas of neuroanatomy and acquired neuro logical speech-language disorders to speech pathology students initially at the South Australian College of Advanced Education and, for the past five years, at the University of Queensland. Although a plethora of excellent texts devoted specifically to each of the subjects of neuroanatomy, neurology and aphasiology have been published, few have attemped to integrate these individual subject areas in such a way as to provide a more clear understanding of the neurological bases of clinically recognized forms of aphasia and motor speech disorders. In writing this text, I have attempted to provide a better balance between neuroanatomy-neurology and. speech-language pathology. Relevant areas of neuroanatomy and neurology are introduced and discussed in the context of specific speech and language disorders. In this way, I have aimed at providing a better link between the relevant neuroanatomical and neurological knowledge on the one hand, and specific neurologically based communication disorders on the other, in order to enhance the reader's understanding of the origins, course and prognosis of these disorders. Of course the writing of any book requires the support and encouragement of other people. This text was no exception.
