RESUMO Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente na literatura os principais instrumentos utilizados para avaliação da apraxia de fala infantil. Estratégia de pesquisa: Realizou-se busca nas bases Scopus, PubMed e Embase Critérios de seleção: Foram selecionados estudos empíricos que utilizaram instrumentos de avaliação da apraxia de fala infantil. Análise dos dados: A seleção dos artigos foi realizada por dois pesquisadores independentes. Resultados: Foram encontrados 695 resumos. Após a leitura dos resumos, foram selecionados 12 artigos completos. Foi possível identificar cinco instrumentos: Verbal Motor Production Assessment for Children, Dynamic Evaluation of Motor Speech Skill , The Orofacial Praxis Test , Kaufman Speech Praxis Test for children e o Madison Speech Assessment Protocol . São poucos os instrumentos utilizados para identificação da apraxia de fala infantil e a maioria destina-se à avaliação da realização de praxias e/ou movimentos orofaciais, sequências de movimentos orofaciais, articulação de fonemas simples, fonemas complexos e sílabas, fala espontânea, além da adequação da prosódia. Conclusões: Percebe-se que existem instrumentos que se propõem a avaliar e diagnosticar a apraxia de fala infantil. No entanto, ainda são escassos os estudos sobre esse tema em nível nacional, bem como protocolos padronizados e validados para a população brasileira que avaliem e ajudem em um diagnóstico preciso.

Speech Motor

New techniques for recording and analyzing speech movements have the potential to radically change existing approaches to speech assessment and management. Advances in motion capture hardware and software are now enabling a critical mass of researchers to comprehensively investigate speech motor performance in healthy and disordered populations. Although this technology is currently almost exclusively used for research, promising clinical applications are now emerging. In this paper, I briefly discuss the technological progression of current technologies used to record speech movements. I also highlight research in the Speech and Feeding Disorders Lab that is exploring ways to leverage this technology to assist with the assessment and management of motor speech disorders.

Speech Assessment

Purpose The purpose of this tutorial was to describe the surgical management of palate-related abnormalities associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Craniofacial differences in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome may include overt or occult clefting of the palate and/or lip along with oropharyngeal variances that may lead to velopharyngeal dysfunction. This chapter will describe these circumstances, including incidence, diagnosis, and indications for surgical intervention. Speech assessment and imaging of the velopharyngeal system will be discussed as it relates to preoperative evaluation and surgical decision making. Important for patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is appropriate preoperative screening to assess for internal carotid artery positioning, cervical spine abnormalities, and obstructive sleep apnea. Timing of surgery as well as different techniques, common complications, and outcomes will also be discussed. Conclusion Management of velopharyngeal dysfunction in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is challenging and requires thoughtful preoperative assessment and planning as well as a careful surgical technique.

Primary Problem

Twenty-five "experts" on neurogenic motor speech disorders participated in a tutorial exercise. Each was given information on M, a patient who had communication difficulties as the result of stroke, and asked to complete a questionnaire about his problem. The information included a detailed case description, an audiotape of M's speech obtained at 4, 9, 13, and 17 days post-stroke, and test results from the Western Aphasia Battery, the Token Test, and a battery for apraxia of speech. The experts were in excellent agreement on M's primary problem, although it was called by seven different names. The experts were in poor agreement on his secondary problem(s), e.g., the presence and type of aphasia and dysarthria. The results suggest that labeling is difficult, even for "experts." Furthermore, the practicing clinician needs to be sensitive to the likelihood of more than one coexisting problem.

Hearing Impaired Children

This study examines whether observers reliably categorize selected speech production behaviors in hearing-impaired children. A group of experienced speech-language pathologists was trained to score the elicited imitations of 5 profoundly and 5 severely hearing-impaired subjects using the Phonetic Level Evaluation (Ling, 1976). Interrater reliability was calculated using intraclass correlation coefficients. Overall, the magnitude of the coefficients was found to be considerably below what would be accepted in published behavioral research. Failure to obtain acceptably high levels of reliability suggests that the Phonetic Level Evaluation may not yet be an accurate and objective speech assessment measure for hearing-impaired children.
