摘要:

As therapists become involved in language, rather than speech development, collaboration with parents and teachers is all the more vital if therapy is to be effective. This paper atempts to identify key factors to successful language intervention with children and argues that these are just as applicable for communicating this knowledge to others. An example is given of how this approach could evolve in practice.The things we know best are the things we haven't been taught (Vauvenargues)

摘要:

SummaryThis paper contains an analysis by a stammerer of the variation in his fluency over a 150 day period. It also examines the possible influences of confidence, health, amount of slowed speech practice, amount of relaxation and situational pressure, on the fluency levels.

摘要:

SummaryAcquired stuttering in adults was studied in sixteen cases. All were males, except one. In all cases, stuttering occurred following cerebral traumatic or vascular lesions which involved the left hemisphere, bilateral involvement being presumed in traumatic cases. In the majority of cases, stuttering was associated with aphasia, but in some cases it appeared clinically isolated. No significant association with speech apraxia, anomia or with signs of incomplete right handedness, was found. In some cases, acquired stuttering appeared as a severe worsening of pre‐existent developmental stuttering. These findings are compared with previous reports, and controversial points as well as the need for further investigation, are emphasize

摘要:

SummaryThis study looked at two groups of children each consisting of nineteen four‐year‐olds, one group who were referred for speech therapy and a control group. Their performances were compared on a range of commonly used clinical tests.A large measure of correspondence was found among the tests and within each of the two groups. A degree of discrimination ‐ of value to the clinician ‐ was found between the two groups of children. An argument is developed for the intelligent use of tests supported by qualitative a

摘要:

SUMMARYThe hypothesis investigated was, that reading retardation in hearing impaired children is due in part to certain visual perceptual deficits known to be related to mechanical reading skills.Nineteen children, from a school for the hearing impaired, with a mean age of 11.23 were found to have a mean reading age of 7.6 on the Sal ford Sentence Reading Test. Nineteen hearing controls were selected with the same mean reading age on the Reading Test but with a mean chronological age of 7.71 years. Five sub‐tests of the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception were administered to all of the children.It was found that the partially hearing school children showed deficits on all the visual sub‐tests of the Frostig Test, compared with the published norms for hearing children of the same age. The partially hearing generally performed at the same level as the hearing controls who were on average 3 1/2 years younger.It is suggested that this deficit in visual perceptual skills contributes to the relatively poor level of reading attained by the partially hear
