Book Communication and Swallowing in Parkinson Disease

Download or read book Communication and Swallowing in Parkinson Disease written by Deborah Theodoros and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous books have been written on various medical aspects of Parkinson's Disease. Until now, however, there has not been published a text which focuses specifically on the debilitating speech, cognitive-linguistic, and swallowing disorders associated with this disease. The current body of literature in the field of speech pathology pertaining to the description, assessment, and management of the communication and swallowing difficulties experienced by people with Parkinson's Disease is extensive. However, the majority of this literature is published in research journal article format, or as individual book chapters in various books. The first of its kind, Communication and Swallowing Disorders in Parkinson's Disease condenses and organizes this information into an accessible format in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of these disorders and their management in this clinical population.

Book Communication Disability and the Psychiatry of Old Age

Download or read book Communication Disability and the Psychiatry of Old Age written by Karen Bryan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses management of communication disorders in the psychiatry of old age. The contribution of the speech and language therapist is the focus of the book, but this is described within the context of the multidisciplinary team. Language change and language assessment in psychiatric disorders associated with old age, especially dementias, are descbribed in detail. The form of service delivery offered is fundamental to the speech and language therapy intervention that can be offered to this complex and often neglected client group. A management perspective and service delivery in the USA and in the UK are described. Working with carers, service delivery in the community, an innovative scheme involving residential homes, a review of how community care initiatives have affected speech and language therapy services and an analysis of service audit are all included. As well as giving a description of speech and language therapy intervention with the elderly who have psychiatric disorders, the book also highlights the issues and challenges facing clinicians who work within the reformed health service. It should be of considerable interest to speech and language therapists, other health care professionals and students who work with older mentally ill people. Purchasers and managers who are commissioning and providing services for the older population with psychiatric disorders should also find the book useful.

Book Neurogenic Communication Disorders  Life Stories and the Narrative Self

Download or read book Neurogenic Communication Disorders Life Stories and the Narrative Self written by Plural Publishing, Incorporated and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is currently considerable focus on psychosocial issues for persons with aphasia and their significant others. However, there has been little unifying work that brings diverse interdisciplinary perspectives together to understand the impact of aphasia and other neurogenic communication disorders on the social construction and mediation of self or identity. In this book, the authors explore this idea of social construction of self as it relates to the human need to create, share, and modify life stories, particularly when confronting major life changes. Their premise is that impaired communication can have a profound impact on one’s perception of self and one’s ability to negotiate the social reconstruction of self in the context of a neurological disorder. The nature and extent of impact varies, as seen in the book’s in-depth examination of narrative self for persons living with aphasia, ALS, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia, as well as those aging without impairment. The authors present theoretical grounding for using the concepts of self and the idea of a social and cultural tool kit that enables clients to interact with others and to define themselves in the context of those around them. The text moves from theory to qualitative analyses of living with neurogenic disorders to implications for clinical interventions for individual clients and their significant others.

Book Augmentative and Alternative Communication for Adults with Acquired Neurologic Disorders

Download or read book Augmentative and Alternative Communication for Adults with Acquired Neurologic Disorders written by David R. Beukelman and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of speech in adulthood due to acquired disabilities causes an enormous life change for the person it happens to -- and everyone close to them. With this important book, you'll explore the challenges these individuals face during the transition from speaking to using augmentative and alternative communications (AAC). You'll learn new ways to design individualized AAC systems that will help rebuild their communicative confidence and encourage acceptance of their new lives -- and for some, even before speech is lost. Practical, and accessible, this research-based resource addresses recent social, medical, and technical changes and how they affect adults with communication disorders. Part 1 discusses the everyday transition issues they struggle with -- such as establishing new communication roles and integrating their natural speech with AAC -- while Part 2 covers the six leading neurological disorders in adults: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington and Parkinson's diseases, traumatic brain injury, aphasia, and dementia.

Book excerpt: An all-in-one guide for helping caregivers of individuals with brain injury or degenerative disease to address speech, language, voice, memory, and swallowing impairment and to distinguish these problem areas from healthy aging. Advances in science mean that people are more likely to survive a stroke or live for many years after being diagnosed with a degenerative disease such as Parkinson's. But the communication deficits that often accompany a brain injury or chronic neurologic condition—including problems with speech, language, voice, memory, and/or swallowing—can severely impact quality of life. If you are a caregiver coping with these challenges, this all-in-one book can help you and your loved one. Written by a team of experts in speech-language pathology, each chapter focuses on a different aspect of caregiving and features relatable patient examples. Providing answers to common questions, definitions of complex medical terms, and lists of helpful resources, this book also: • touches on expected, age-related changes in communication, memory, swallowing, and hearing abilities, to name a few • offers practical strategies for caregivers to cope with speech, language, and voice problems and to maximize their loved one's ability to communicate • reveals how caregivers can assist their loved ones with swallowing challenges to maintain good nutrition and hydration • provides crucial information on how caregivers can handle grief and take care of themselves during the caregiving process • explains how to incorporate the arts, as well as a loved one's hobbies and interests, into their communication or memory recovery This comprehensive book will allow readers to take a more informed and active role in their loved one's care.
