Special Learning Needs

In this article, the authors point to the most acute problem today of children with special learning needs in an inclusive environment. Today it is one of the world’s problems. The 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Salamanca Declaration on Principles of Education Policy with Special Needs (Salamanca, Spain) of 1994 are the legal basis for this issue. The “State Program for the Development of Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2011 - 2020” says that the legislation of our country provides equal rights to children with special learning needs, and in the coming period the number of kindergartens and schools with inclusive education will increase. In accordance with world processes, our country is also expanding inclusive education. It is well known that there is a need for specialists to educate children with special needs. In this regard, the authors disclose the practice of the department of special education Abay KazNPU for the training of speech pathologist. At the same time, given that young people today do not understand speech pathology well, the author points out the importance of involving the media in this process, thereby emphasizing the importance of expanding the understanding of inclusion, by parents, young people and the general public.

This prospective study was designed to evaluate a new concept of myofunctional therapy in comparison with conventional myofunctional therapy. 45 children aged three to sixteen years in need of myofunctional therapy were randomly divided into two groups: 19 children were referred to myofunctional therapy in private practices in Hamburg and served as controls. The remaining 26 children were treated with face former therapy at the Department of Orthodontics by a medical assistant specializing in myofunctional therapy. The overall observation time was six months. Every three months an overall clinical assessment was performed at the Department of Orthodontics by a speech pathologist and an orthodontist, who documented the clinical situation. The clinical examination included measurement of lip strength, palatography to document the swallowing pattern, logopedic diagnosis, and an orthodontic examination with reference to a standardized diagnostic sheet. In all children’s orofacial function could be improved. Children treated with the Face Former showed a statistically significantly improvement in palatal tongue position during swallowing. They achieved stronger lip pressure within a shorter time than children who did not use the Face Former. However, at the end of the observation time there was no statistically significant difference in lip strength between the two groups. Habitual mouth closure was also achieved within a shorter time for children treated with the FaceFormer than children with myofunctional therapy. Face Former therapy seems to offer a good alternative to conventional myofunctional therapy. Longitudinal studies will follow to judge whether the established orofacial balance could be stabilized, i.e. the established physiological orofacial function becomes automatic.

Clinical Conditions

Introduction: Neurogenic dysphagia is a frequent disorder affecting people with neurological diseases. Many experts work together to diagnose and treat dysphagia. The aim: The article focuses on the specificity of neurogenic dysphagia, its symptoms and treatment possibilities. The speech pathologist can be included in the diagnostic process and can evaluate the intake of liquids and foods based on a variety of consistency tests. In clinical conditions, screening tests such as water swallowing test, multiple consistency tests: GUSS (Gugging Swallowing Screen), V-VST (Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test) and EAT-10 questionnaire can be used successfully. If you have limited ability to perform instrumental tests, they can help you to expand your diagnosis. Review and Discussion:Treatment of swallowing disorders is based on a daily modification of the patient’s posture and consistency of the eaten meals. Nursing staff are involved in this adaptation activity, which plays an invaluable role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients in neurological and rehabilitation departments. Conclusions: Despite the knowledge of the problem, difficulty swallowing is still unnoticed. The effects of this neglect are felt both for patients and from the perspective of management within treatment units For people suffering from neurological diseases, swallowing disorders should be diagnosed on a compulsory basis and their assessment should be a permanent part of the standard procedures for assessing patients with neurological deficits.

Objective We aimed to evaluate the use of an electrocardiogram (EKG) electrode over decannulation dressings covering the stoma to improve speech intelligibility and volume and reduce air escape by facilitating identification of the “sweet spot” of the dressing. No objective data exist for patient outcomes with use of the EKG electrode dressing. Methods This prospective study included head and neck oncology patients at a tertiary hospital who received a tracheostomy. A standard tracheostomy decannulation dressing was placed followed by an EKG electrode. A speech pathologist evaluated speech volume via sound-level meter and captured speech intelligibility for random sentence-level speech. A blinded reviewer scored speech samples for intelligibility. Patients completed a 4-question satisfaction survey. Results Four patients completed the study. Based on the survey, the patients favored the button, with the lowest scores being 8.5 out of 10. Speech understanding was 48.5% without the button and 83% with the button. Normal speech volume was 73.75 dB without the button and 77.75 dB with the button. Loud speech volume was 80.75 dB without the button and 87 dB with the button. Discussion This pilot study shows objective benefits of the EKG button as well as improved patient satisfaction. Inexpensive and low maintenance, the EKG electrode provides better occlusion of stoma dressing with easier localization. Implications for Practice Dissemination of our results will aim to improve quality and patient outcomes following decannulation.

This paper presents a rationale for acoustic analysis of voices of neurologically diseased patients, and reports preliminary data from patients with myotonic dystrophy, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as from individuals at risk for Huntington's disease. Noninvasive acoustic analysis may be of clinical value to the otolaryngologist, neurologist, and speech pathologist for early and differential diagnosis and for documenting disease progression in these various neurologic disorders.
