State Language

Modern political and economic trends in the development of society have made certain adjustments to the system of domestic education, which, in turn, has led to the emergence of problems, the existence of which no one even suspected twenty years ago. One of these problems is teaching children in the state language in state schools, for whom the language of everyday communication is not Russian, but the language of one of the small peoples of the Russian Federation. When involved in the educational process, these children find themselves in a forced bilingualism system, which becomes a risk factor for learning difficulties. When two different languages are used in different situations, the dominant language system has a significant effect on the other, as a result of which they mix, the result of which is the child’s speech and language difficulties, the most noticeable of which are systemic errors in the grammatical structuring of the oral and, later, written utterance. In many respects, the grammatical problems of children with bilingualism intersect with the problems of grammatical design of speech by children with hearing and speech impairments, however, it is not possible to fully implement correctional and speech therapy approaches to overcoming grammatical disorders in the oral and written speech of children with bilingualism, since the violation is determined by other mechanisms.

The results of psycho-correction speech therapy are analyzed in dynamics in 78 patients with varying severity and various forms of speech disorders in the early and late recovery periods of ischemic stroke. The effectiveness of conducting classes during the stay of patients in a neurological hospital and the positive impact of these exercises in the inpatient period (outpatient classes, classes at home with a speech therapist and trained relatives) are shown. Patients who did not conduct speech recovery classes during the inter-stationary period showed a decrease in speech activity, in some even a negative dynamic.

Written Language Development

The failure to achieve academic outcomes in linguistically diverse classrooms in poor areas of the Western Cape, South Africa, is well documented. A major contributing factor is the written language communication difficulties experienced in these classrooms. This paper describes the views of intermediate-phase teachers on why written language difficulties are experienced by learners and ways in which these difficulties might be overcome. A series of interviews were conducted with two class teachers in one urban school from which there had been a high number of referrals for speech-language therapy. The teachers were individually interviewed using an in-depth, semi-structured format. Teachers reported that 50 - 70% of learners in their classes were not meeting grade level academic outcomes. They were asked to explain the difficulties experienced with regard to written language, and the challenges and solutions linked to these. The findings suggest that there are barriers and opportunities at the school system, individual learner and home/social community levels. Major challenges identified at the school system level included limited training and lack of support for teachers, poor foundation skills in learners and difficulties with language. The current opportunities for the development of written language were insufficient and teachers identified further opportunities to promote the learners’ written language development. These included training and support for teachers, clear and consistent assessment guidelines, remedial assistance for learners and safe, nurturing home environments. There is a need to look beyond the learner as the site of the problem; a systemic approach is essential. In the light of these findings, suggestions are made for the role of the speech-language therapist.

AbstractObjective:The present humanitarian crisis in Ukraine is putting strains on its healthcare system. This study aimed to assess services and training in otolaryngology, audiology and speech therapy in Ukraine and its geographical neighbours.Method:Survey study of 327 otolaryngologists from 19 countries.Results:Fifty-six otolaryngologists (17 per cent) from 15 countries responded. Numbers of otolaryngologists varied from 3.6 to 12.3 per 100 000 population (Ukraine = 7.8). Numbers of audiologists varied from 0, in Ukraine, to 2.8 per 100 000, in Slovakia, and numbers of speech therapists varied from 0, in Bulgaria, to 4.0 per 100 000, in Slovenia (Ukraine = 0.1). Ukraine lacks newborn and school hearing screening, good availability of otological drills and microscopes, and a cochlear implant programme.Conclusion:There is wide variation in otolaryngology services in Central and Eastern Europe. All countries surveyed had more otolaryngologists per capita than the UK, but availability of audiology and speech and language therapy is poor. Further research on otolaryngology health outcomes in the region will guide service improvement.

AT THE SOURCES OF POLISH LOGOPEDIC TERMINOLOGY: TOWARDS ANAGNOSTIC RESESARCH The paper is a preliminary presentation of the concept of a research project Diachronic Aspects of Polish Logopedic Terminology, carried out by members of the Department of Polish Language of the Pedagogical University in Cracow. The multiauthored study briefly characterizes the beginnings of speech therapy as an independent scientific discipline, and the directions of its development in the past 50 years. It draws attention to the deficiencies and inconsistencies in the usage and understanding of specialist terms in contemporary logopedics, while setting as the primary goal of the enterprise an attempt to standardize Polish terminology related to speech disorders. The basis for this should be the etymology of the terms in question, as well as excerpts from medical and anatomical lexicons and source materials which employ the vocabulary that became the foundation of the logopedic jargon.

This is a small cardboard covered handbook in photo-offset print, designed mainly for the speech therapist working with children handicapped by cerebral palsy. It contains a brief description of cerebral palsy (athetoid, spastic and ataxic), classification and description of the common speech disorders, an outline of the sequences of speech development together with a guide to the assessment of speech (articulatory) maturity, and a description of speech and sound discrimination tests. A detailed outline of the methods of speech therapy used in the athetoid, the spastic, and the ataxic child follows.

The Stability

Patients with mild velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) may have speech disorders, which are not sufficiently severe to warrant extensive surgical intervention, yet may not be amenable to correction by speech therapy alone. Augmentation of the posterior pharyngeal wall to aid in closure of the velopharyngeal sphincter may be beneficial in establishing better speech patterns, especially when combined with speech therapy. A variety of materials and techniques have been used in the past for this purpose. In this setting, autogenous fat may be transplanted without the risks incurred by augmentation with synthetic materials and involves very little donor site morbidity. The literature is somewhat contradictory, however, regarding the stability of the augmentation achieved using autogenous fat and there are no histologic studies describing the fate of fat injected into tissues of the oral cavity. Prior to introduction of this technique into clinical practice, this study was designed to investigate the fate of autogenous fat injected submucosally in the oropharyngeal region. Autogenous fat was injected into the anterior soft palate using the rabbit as a model. Histologic and gross inspections were performed at 2 days, 1, 2, and 4 weeks after injections. At the end of 4 weeks, at least 50% of the injection sites had visible evidence of augmentation, and 90% had histologic evidence of submucosal fat. In some instances most of the fat was resorbed; however, there were no instances of clinical infection or necrosis of the injection site. We conclude that submucosal injection of autogenous fat is a feasible alternative to using synthetic or other biologic materials for augmentation in the oral cavity.
