Download or read book Clinical Linguistics written by Louise Cummings and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-06 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louise Cummings provides a comprehensive introduction to speech and language therapy which will give SLT students an excellent starting point for a wide range of communication impairments. The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists estimates that 2.5 million people in the UK have a communication disorder. Of this number, some 800,000 people have a disorder that is so severe that it is hard for anyone outside their immediate families to understand them. In Clinical Linguistics, Louise Cummings provides a comprehensive introduction to speech and language therapy which will give SLT students an excellent starting point for a wide range of communication impairments. In chapters that are dedicated to the discussion of individual communication disorders, Cummings argues that no treatment of this area can reasonably neglect an examination of the prevalence and causes of communication disorders. The assessment and treatment of these disorders by speech and language therapists are discussed at length.

Download or read book Language Development and Disorders written by W. Yule and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication disabilities are common, although their precise nature and degree of severity vary greatly among individuals. They are among the most handicapping of disabilities because they isolate a person and in so doing restrict social, educational, and occupational opportunities. One of the purposes of this book was to bring together theoretical, practical, and clinical knowledge from several disciplines that bear on language and communication into some reasonably accessible form. The intent is to provide a broad and multi-faceted view of language development and language disorders. Thus, contributions from education, linguistics, psychology, pediatrics, psychiatry, neurology, neuropsychology, and speech therapy are included. They describe our current knowledge of language development, suggest classifications for language pathology, outline what is known of the epidemiology of language difficulties, consider assessment and therapy, alternative communication systems and the impact of the new technology on communication aids. The variety of perspectives that it provides will make it particularly useful to the range of specialists who are concerned with the development of communication skills and language disorders.

Download or read book The Accent Method of Voice Therapy written by M. Nasser Kotby and published by Singular. This book was released on 1995 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book, The Accent Method of Voice Therapy, was intriguing in its promise of a new look at voice intervention. The book is supplemented by audiotaped examples of Dr. Kotby's accent method of voice therapy. In his book, Dr. Kotby moves easily and well through the traditional classification and management of voice disorders. His discussion of management, which is well referenced by internationally known voice professionals, includes diagnosis, treatment, phonosurgery techniques, pharmacotherapy, behavior read justment strategies, and vocal hygiene advice. Dr. Kotby introduces the accent method as a holistic process for voice therapy that involves integration of abdominodiaphragmatic breathing, body movements, and voice rhythms, as reportedly used with West African drum rhythms. The audiotapes demonstrate the use of monosyllables and multisyllables in concert with breath support and rythmic variation of pitch and intensity. The accent method is recommended by Dr. Kotby for managing most organic and functional voice disorders, vocal problems of professional voice users, and several speech and language disorders: dysarthria, stuttering, delayed language development, and prosody problems in hearing-impaired children.
