This study investigates the perception of the strengths and challenges that face city centre preschool teachers and preschool learners in the acquisition of English as medium of instruction and to use the results to explore the role of speech-language therapists in this context. A descriptive survey, incorporating a quantitative data collection method, was selected as the research design and a questionnaire was developed as a survey instrument. The findings identified the strengths as including the creative communication strategies employed by the pre-schoolers and the innovative techniques of the teachers. Perceived challenges include a cultural and linguistic mismatch between teachers and learners and communication barriers that cause emotional and behavioural problems in classrooms. The study suggests that speech-language therapists need to consider and employ service delivery models instead of traditional models with the preschool teachers.

The Subject

In clinical practice there are few test that language therapist can use for the oral speech evaluation. The battery that has been frecuently used for the aphasia assessment, doesn´t usually give us this type of data, and when it happens, it is just a global description of the language of the subject, which doesn't make possible a detailed pursuit of the evolution. The relevance of linguistic production´s assessment becomes more evident in the study of patients with mild injury as well as when patient is in an advanced recovery stage. An assessment without a speech analysis uses to overestimate the subject's capacities and usually ends in an incomplete and inadequate intervention. The aim of the present work was to review different studies that include the narrative speech as part of the assessment, and to explore, with the study of a single case, some applications in this kind of studies for language evaluation in mild brain injury patients.

AbstractObjectiveWe report our experience in developing a paediatric voice clinic within a tertiary otolaryngology department and describe the emerging role of this specialized clinic.MaterialsCurrently our referral base is divided between other otolaryngologists within our department who require voice assessment as part of the pre- or post-operative management of laryngeal disorders (e.g. cysts, webs, vocal fold palsies, laryngo-tracheal reconstruction) and other professionals within our hospital who require characterisation of voice within the broader task of defining medical conditions in which voice abnormalities exist (e.g. mucopolysaccharidoses, functional dysphonias).MethodsThe patients were assessed by a team consisting of a paediatric laryngologist and a speech and language therapist. Each patient underwent a perceptual voice assessment and qualitative voice assessment using electrolaryngography. Direct visualisation was attempted and methods of and suitability for, such examination are discussed.ResultsOur experience is reviewed and guidelines for the establishment of a paediatric voice clinic are presented.
