The article by Schwartz and Murphy1 in the May 1975 issue emphasizes the key position of the pediatrician in recognition of speech and language disorders, as well as the lack of training of health professionals in this important area of development. We would like to call attention to a five-minute screening test appropriate for children 6 months to 6 years of age. The Physician's Developmental Quick Screen for Speech Disorders (PDQ)2 is designed for use by non-speech pathologists.

Speech and language are the most important means of communication between a child and the outer world. Currently in the Russian Federation there is no reliable data on the prevalence of speech and language disorders in children. According to foreign authors, speech disorders are diagnosed in 3,4–6,4% in the population of preschool children, and language disorders are diagnosed in 8–10% of cases. Early identification of the causes of speech and language development disorders in children is a complex interdisciplinary problem. The authors have developed an algorithm for diagnosing speech and language developmental disorders in preschool children, where the district pediatrician plays the leading role. It is district pediatrician who can assess the speed of the child’s speech skills development, based on age norms, analyze the history data, risk factors, carry out a physical examination of the child, develop an individual program for conducting basic laboratory and instrumental studies and consult specialists. Dynamic observation of this category of children is important.

PURPOSE: To identify the main risk factors related to children and their parents, associated with speech and language disorders. METHODS: A prospective descriptive study conducted with 170 children and their parents assisted at a school clinic in the period between March 2010 and July 2012. A protocol was developed for this study in order to identify risk factors for language and speech disorders. Data were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by the Χ2 and Student' s t-test . RESULTS: The demographic profile is composed of male children aged between 4 and 5 years old, ethnicity declared by parents as being white, residents of the western region of the city of São Paulo, and whose parents had completed high school. The factors related to family and considered as risks for language impairment were being an only child and having a family history of speech and language disorders. As for the children' s health, prematurity, hospitalization for a long period, and the presence of deleterious oral habits were also considered as risk factors. CONCLUSION: The protocol allows establishing the main risk factors related to children with speech and language disorders. It is suggested that children who present with one or more of the aforementioned risk factors should be regularly monitored for speech and language development and, if necessary, referred for early intervention.

Background. The speech and language disorders for stroke patients are associate with bigger morbidity, mortality, hypofunction, but the literature fndings are controversial. The aim of the study is to analyse the influence of speech and language disorders on the effectiveness of rehabilitation of individuals who suffered stroke. Subjects and methods. The study involved 64 individuals with stroke who were treated at LUHSH KK Neurorehabilitation subdivision during the years 2008 and 2010. In this analysis a retrospective data from hospital medical records forms was used. The effectiveness of rehabilitation was assessed by a change of results of functional independence measurement (FIM) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) tests during rehabilitation. The factors that may influence the effectiveness of rehabilitation (age, gender, type of speech and language disorder) were analysed. Results. The analysis revealed that rehabilitation was effective and effcient for individuals who suffered stroke both in the right and the left side, and the difference was not statistically signifcant. The FIM results of individuals with speech disorders before rehabilitation were worse, comparing to those who had speech and language disorder. The difference was statistically significant (p = 0.004). But after rehabilitation, although the FIM results of subjects with speech impairments remained lower, the difference was not statistically signifcant (p = 0.367). The difference between FIM results after rehabilitation among separate aphasia groups was not statistically signifcant. But there was a statistically signifcant difference, comparing MMSE results before and after rehabilitation (p = 0.02). Conclusions. The inpatient rehabilitation was effective for stroke patients. The age and gender did not have statistically signifcant influence. The speech and language disorders did not have statistically signifcant influence to recovery of cognitive dysfunction for stroke patients in the early period of rehabilitation.Keywords: stroke, speech and language disorder, rehabilitation.

The presentation stressed the importance of speech and language in the child's social and personality development; the far-reaching effects of speech and language disorders; the latitude of factors contributing to the various types of such disorders in children; and the therapeutic approach to the child with defective speech. Speech consists of sounds produced by the upper respiratory and alimentary tracts and is described in terms of its phonologic elements (vowels and consonants); vocal pitch, volume and quality; melody and stress pattern; temporal factors of rate, rhythm, duration and phrasing; and expressive gestures. Spoken language is the symbolic use of these sounds. Functions of speech and language are threefold: Emotional expression, self-communication and interpersonal communication. The last, in turn, serves the purposes of social interchange, interchange of information and social control. Disorders of speech and language result in impairment of sociability, communication and effective social control. A child thus handicapped is likely to become socially retarded and psychologically maladjusted. Of high school children in the United States, roughly 5% suffer from some speech defect and over 2,000,000 of them would benefit from special help. Symptomatically, speech and language disorders may be classified into five groups: (1) "articulatory disorders," characterized by substitutions, omissions and distortions of sounds; (2) "cluttering," defined as rapid, dysrhythmic slurring and clustering of sounds; (3) "stuttering," the repetition, prolongation or blocking of sounds and words, often associated with overflow facial grimacing and spasmodic movements of trunk and extremities and, usually, psychologic reactions to stuttering; (4) "voice disorders," ranging from complete absence to abnormalities in quality, pitch, intensity and melody; and (5) "language disorders," subdivided into (a) "delayed speech" (after age 3 years) and (b) "aphasia," resulting from lesions in the central nervous system. An additional group of speech disorders has as etiology some physical abnormalities: (1) "cleft palate speech," with disturbed voice quality and articulation; (2) "cerebral palsy speech," with disturbances in articulation, voice, rhythm and sometimes also delay in language development; and (3) "hearing impairment," which results in improper development of articulation, voice and language.
