Problem Children with cleft-related articulation disorders receive ineffectual or inappropriate speech therapy locally due to lack of training and a disconnect between the team and local speech-language pathologists. Solution A collaborative care program that is billable for the team allows the local speech-language pathologist to earn continuing education units and facilitates effective local speech therapy. This program is the first of its kind, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Continuing Education Board for Speech Pathology.

Resonance disorders can be caused by a variety of structural abnormalities in the resonating chambers for speech, or by velopharyngeal dysfunction. These abnormalities may result in hypernasality, hypo- or denasality, or cul-de-sac resonance. Resonance disorders are commonly seen in patients with craniofacial anomalies, particularly a history of cleft palate. The appropriate evaluation of a resonance disorder includes a speech pathology evaluation, and may require a video-fluoroscopic speech study or nasopharyngoscopy assessment. Treatment may include surgery or the use of prosthetic devices, and usually speech therapy. Given the complexity of these disorders in regard to evaluation and treatment, the patient is best served by an interdisciplinary craniofacial anomaly team.

The Royal Children's Hospital Speech Pathology Department (RCH SPD) provides services to children with Cleft Palate (CP) and velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) in a geographical region that is more than twice the size of Texas, with 30% of the children residing in regional areas. The geographical distribution of the population means that many families are unable to access local speech therapy. To address this problem, the RCH SPD and Music Therapy departments (MTD) collaborated to create a clinical resource for regional children and families. The package is intended to facilitate an increase in children's consonant inventory, frequency of vocalizations, vocabulary, and communicative opportunity and increase oral airflow during speech. It is also intended to facilitate family-centered care and increase the parent and child's motivation to participate in speech therapy activities within the home environment. The clinical resource has now been distributed to 70 children with cleft palate in Queensland. This paper presents results of preliminary evaluation of the program and explores the use of music to facilitate speech sound stimulation for children with CP and VPD aged 2–5 years. This resource will be of interest to speech therapists and families with limited or no access to services.

The court hearing (Bolam v. Friern Hospital Management Committee) showed that British psychiatrists disagreed about the best technique of administering electroplexy. The implications of this were discussed in a recent communication (1), which also contained an extensive review of the literature showing a similar disagreement amongst previous authorities. In order to ascertain which E.C.T. techniques were most widely practised in this country, a questionnaire was circulated to a number of mental and teaching hospitals and the results of this, which were reported in full (1, 3), are summarized in Table I.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this article is to characterize and analyze the speech developed at the CAIS-SR, an institution whose history was marked by the process of institutionalization of mental patients and then by Psychiatric Reform. The research is designed as a case study, with emphasis on research for a project of care group (group / choir “Sabiá na Laranjeira”) conducted by the speech in CAIS-SR. The research method combines survey of speech-language record of the activities carried out, which occurred between 2001 and 2006, interviews with professional teams of CAIS-SR and group patients “Sabiá na Laranjeira” about the presence of speech therapist throughout this period, and especially analysis of the group work done with patients of “Sabiá na Laranjeira”. To put the analysis the work of speech therapy in CAIS-SR, is presented key issues to care of patients with mental disorders, namely: the marks that isolation makes the life history of these subjects, the composition and relevance of inter-and multidisciplinary teams in mental health; social exclusion and the search for activities that help in building a new and more satisfactory social conditions for such subjects. In this sense, the article points to the fact that the speech therapist, participating in teams of CAIS-SR, beyond to identify and treat speech pathology, should value and encourage communication and discursive circulation among patients and those with family members and society by increasing the use of language (verbal and nonverbal) and shedding light on the importance of communication, among other things: biopsychosocial rehabilitation; training of interpersonal bonds; legitimacy and social belonging of the subjects with mental disorders, which aligns public policies with anti-psychiatric ward and social reintegration.RESUMOO objetivo deste artigo é caracterizar e analisar o trabalho fonoaudiológico desenvolvido no CAIS-SR, instituição cuja história foi marcada pelo processo de institucionalização de sujeitos com transtornos mentais e, posteriormente, pela Reforma Psiquiátrica. A pesquisa se configura como um estudo de caso, com ênfase na investigação de um projeto de atendimento grupal (grupo/coral “Sabiá na Laranjeira”) conduzido pela Fonoaudiologia no CAIS-SR. O método da pesquisa conjuga levantamento dos registros das atividades fonoaudiológicas realizadas, que ocorreram entre 2001 e 2006; entrevistas com profissionais das equipes do CAIS-SR e com pacientes do grupo “Sabiá na Laranjeira” sobre a presença do fonoaudiólogo ao longo desse período; e, especialmente, análise do trabalho grupal efetuado com os pacientes do “Sabiá na Laranjeira”. Para contextualizar a análise do trabalho fonoaudiológico no CAIS-SR, são apresentadas questões básicas ao atendimento do paciente com transtornos mentais, a saber: as marcas que o isolamento deixa na história de vida destes sujeitos; a composição e a relevância das equipes inter e multidisciplinares na saúde mental; a exclusão social e a busca por atividades que auxiliem na construção de uma nova e mais satisfatória condição social para tais sujeitos.  Nesse sentido, o artigo aponta para o fato de que o fonoaudiólogo, participando de equipes do CAIS-SR, além de identificar e tratar alterações fonoaudiológicas, deve valorizar e estimular a comunicação e a circulação discursiva entre os pacientes e destes com familiares, profissionais e sociedade, intensificando o uso da linguagem (verbal e não-verbal) e lançando luz sobre a importância da comunicação para, entre outros aspectos: reabilitação biopsicossocial, formação de vínculos interpessoais, legitimação e pertencimento social dos sujeitos com transtornos mentais, o que se alinha com as políticas públicas antimanicomiais e de reintegração social.

This article discusses topical issues of future speech therapists’ training in terms of a competence approach. Special attention is paid to formation of universal competences of future teachers in the field of intercultural collaboration. Current bachelor training curricula of specialized (speech pathology) education of speech therapy major 44.03.03 have been analyzed regarding formation of competences of future speech therapists in the field of intercultural communication. Efficient intercultural communication does not emerge spontaneously, it should be consistently developed. Modern life calls for mastering the skills of such communication. At present, special attention is paid to formation of universal competences in future speech pathologists, especially aimed at intercultural collaboration. It is believed that a speech therapist possessing such competences will be able to perceive cultural diversity of society in social, historical, and philosophical contexts. This article analyzes the experimental study of development level of future speech therapists’ general cultural competences. Junior and senior students from the Department of speech therapy, Institute of special education and psychology, Moscow City University took part in this research. The main experimental method was a survey of students. Particular attention was paid to the issues of formation of speech culture of speech therapists and the possibility to apply knowledge acquired during studies of a humanitarian module in professional activities of cultural and educational type. The main results of the analysis are a proven opportunity of updating theoretical knowledge of speech therapists in the field of intercultural communication acquired during studies of humanitarian, psychological, pedagogical and professional sections using interactive approaches to teacher activities.
