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.

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.

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.

Purpose Video games provide a promising platform for rehabilitation of speech disorders. Although video games have been used to train speech perception in foreign language learners and have been proposed for aural rehabilitation, their use in speech therapy has been limited thus far. We present feasibility results from at-home use in a case series of children with velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) using an interactive video game that provided real-time biofeedback to facilitate appropriate nasalization. Method Five participants were recruited across a range of ages, VPD severities, and VPD etiologies. Participants completed multiple weeks of individual game play with a video game that provides feedback on nasalization measured via nasal accelerometry. Nasalization was assessed before and after training by using nasometry, aerodynamic measures, and expert perceptual judgments. Results Four participants used the game at home or school, with the remaining participant unwilling to have the nasal accelerometer secured to his nasal skin, perhaps due to his young age. The remaining participants showed a tendency toward decreased nasalization after training, particularly for the words explicitly trained in the video game. Conclusion Results suggest that video game–based systems may provide a useful rehabilitation platform for providing real-time feedback of speech nasalization in VPD.

Currently, there is a tendency in Ukraine to increase the number of children with speech disorders. One of the most common disorders of speech function is dyslalia. Speech therapists are the main form of correctional training, children are assigned certain and consistent stages of speech therapy. Along with that, various individual and standard devices are used. The aim of the study – to conduct logopedic correction of speech disorders in patients with physiologic occlusion using the in-house designed device according to the proposed algorithm. Materials and Methods. A survey was conducted on 73 children (24 – aged 3 to 6 years, 49 – from 6 to 12 years old) without significant orthodontic pathology in the presence of speech impairment with normal hearing and intelligence and speech correction. In addition to logopedic exercises, it was recommended to use vestibular plates Dr. Hinz - MUPPY-P with beads, removable orthodontic devices with beads, Bluegrass appliances, devices for elimination and prevention of unhealthy tongue habits. In order to identify early risk factors for major dental diseases, the hygienic state of the cavity of the mouth, the intensity of caries, the presence or absence of inflammatory processes in the tissues of periodontal disease were determined. Results and Discussion. The first step in the algorithm for successful correction of speech disorders were to explain its necessity. The second stage involved the phonetic diagnosis of all aspects of speech, logic, intelligence, memory and thinking. Polymorphic dyslalia was diagnosed in all subjects of reporting panel. The third stage of the algorithm is to carry out work to overcome the abnormalities of the phonetic side of speech was a direct speech correction. The proposed device for elimination and prevention of unhealthy tongue habits was used in 6 cases. Conclusions. After the speech therapy correction correct articulation and sound were formed. The proposed device for the elimination and prevention unhealthy tongue habits should be used in conjunction with speech therapy, in particular, dyslalia. In addition to the positive logopedic effect of the proposed therapeutic and prophylactic measures, we have also received improvement of the hygienic state of the oral cavity, the absence of an increase in the intensity of the caries of permanent teeth and increased motivation in patients.

Zusammenfassung Die durch die WHO vorgenommene Einstufung des Coronavirus als Pandemie hat Kliniker herausgefordert, die Kontinuität der medizinischen Versorgung aufrechtzuerhalten. Die Teletherapie wurde so innerhalb kürzester Zeit zum wichtigsten Mittel der Leistungserbringer, die diese zuvor nie oder nur sparsam genutzt hatten. Im Bereich der ärztlichen sowie der psychotherapeutischen Versorgung wurde parallel zum ersten Lockdown seit dem 01. April 2020 die zunächst bestehende Begrenzung der telemedizinischen Behandlung von 20 % der gesamten Behandlungen einer Praxis aufgehoben. Auch im Bereich der Heilmittelerbringer wurde phasenweise eine Erlaubnis zur Durchführung von Videotherapien erteilt. Die Studienlage zu diesem Thema weist darauf hin, dass die Wirksamkeit der logopädischen Teletherapie durchaus gegeben ist, wie am Beispiel der Sprachtherapie bei neurologisch bedingten Sprachstörungen im deutschsprachigen Raum im Artikel dargestellt wird, auch wenn weiterhin Studien in diesem Bereich erforderlich sind. Die Teletherapie sollte im Heilmittelbereich ebenso dauerhaft ermöglicht werden wie die teletherapeutische Versorgung durch Psychologen oder die elemedizinische Versorgung durch Ärzte. Auf diese Weise könnte eine Quattro-win-Situation für Leistungsträger, -finanzierer, -erbringer sowie für die Leistungsempfänger entstehen. Schlüsselwörter: Telemedizin, Teletherapie, Online-Sprachtherapie, Covid-19-Pandemie Abstract The WHO's classification of the coronavirus as a pandemic challenged clinicians to maintain continuity of care. Thus, in a very short time, teletherapy became the most important tool for healthcare providers who had never used it before, or had used it only sparingly. Parallel to the first lockdown, beginning on April 01, 2020, the existing limit on telemedicine treatment in medical and psychotherapeutic care – 20% of the total number of treatments at a practice – was lifted. Also, in the area of remedy providers, permission was given in phases for the execution of video therapies. The studies on this topic indicate that logopedic teletherapy is clearly effective, as shown in the example of speech therapy for neurologically-related speech disorders in German-speaking countries in the article, even if further studies are needed. Teletherapy should be made permanently possible in the field of remedies, just as teletherapy care by psychologists, or telemedicine treatment by physicians, are possible. This would create a “quattro-win” situation for service providers, financiers, providers and recipients. Keywords: telemedicine, teletherapy, online speech therapy, covid-19 pandemic

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the features of inflection skills of the preschoolers with a general speech disorders. The problem of studying the grammatical structure of speech plays a leading role in modern scientific and practical research, and the question of the mechanisms of the formation of grammatical patterns of language of children having general speech underdevelopment and the development of recommendations for speech therapy effects on this basis is especially relevant. Taking this factor into consideration, it is important to study the characteristics of inflection skills of preschoolers with a general speech disorders, as one of the categories of the grammatical structure. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was to investigate the characteristics of inflection skills of preschoolers with general speech underdevelopment. In accordance with the purpose, the course of the study is described, its results are analyzed, and conclusions are formulated. Accordingly, recommendations for speech therapy have been developed.Materials and methods. The study of the features of inflection skills of preschoolers with a general underdevelopment of speech was carried out in several stages. At the stage of analysis, synthesis, generalization and comparison of scientific literature data, the main theoretical and practical works of leading specialists were studied, dealing with the problem of formation and development of inflection skills in both normal and impaired speech development process. At the stage of the ascertaining experiment, preschoolers were offered a test aimed at determining the level of formation of inflection skills. At the final stage, empirical methods for processing empirical data (quantitative and qualitative analysis) were used.Results. As a result of the study, it was found that the inflection skills  of preschool children with general speech disorders are mainly formed at a lower-than-average level, while their peers with normal speech development are formed at a high level. The hypothesis of the study, which suggested that the word-modification skills of preschoolers with General speech disorders, in contrast to preschoolers with normal speech development, are characterized by inconsistencies in gender, number, case of nouns and adjectives, errors in the use of forms of number and gender of verbs, was confirmed.Discussion and Conclusions. Taking into consideration the results of the study, we concluded that there is a need for speech therapy to compensate for the underdevelopment of inflection skills, as a result, logopedic recommendations were developed for developing inflection skills of preschool children with general speech disorders, which are part of a comprehensive speech therapy on the development of oral speech.
