ResumeMed udgangspunkt i en case, der omhandler pigen Sofies deltagelse i skolen, problematiseres tendensen til, at lærere og pædagoger forstår Sofies deltagelsesvanskeligheder i lyset af en handicapkategori. Casen om Sofie bidrager med praksisnær viden om, hvordan handicap i form af en diagnose får betydning for Sofies deltagelse i skolens faglige og sociale fællesskaber. I artiklen præsenteres en forståelse af fællesskaber som en ’fælles skabelse’, og der peges i den forbindelse på, at det pædagogiske arbejde i forhold til mennesker med handicap retter sig mod processer i fælles-skabelsen med fokus på inddragelse, indflydelse og værdighed.AbstractBased on a case concerned with the girl Sofie’s participation in school, the article problematizes the tendency that teachers and educators understand Sofie’s difficulties through a disability category. The case about Sofie provides practical knowledge of how disability, in form of a diagnosis, appears to be important for Sofie’s participation in professional and social communities in school. The article presents an understanding of communities as a ‘community creation’, and it points out that the pedagogical work in relation to people with disabilities is to concern itself with processes in the community with focus on involvement, influence and dignity.

In countries other than the United States, the study and practice of speech-language pathology is little known or nonexistent. Recognition of professionals in the field is minimal. Speech-language pathologists in countries where speech-language pathology is a widely recognized and respected profession often seek to share their expertise in places where little support is available for individuals with communication disorders. The Peace Corps offers a unique, long-term volunteer opportunity to people with a variety of backgrounds, including speech-language pathologists. Though Peace Corps programs do not specifically focus on speech-language pathology, many are easily adapted to the profession because they support populations of people with disabilities. This article describes how the needs of local children with communication disorders are readily addressed by a Special Education Peace Corps volunteer.

Abstract Linguistic interaction models suggest that interrelationships arise between structural language components and between structural and pragmatic components when language is used in social contexts. The linguist, David Crystal (1986, 1987), has proposed that these relationships are central, not peripheral, to achieving desired clinical outcomes. For individuals with severe communication challenges, erratic or unpredictable relationships between structural and pragmatic components can result in atypical patterns of interaction between them and members of their social communities, which may create a perception of disablement. This paper presents a case study of a woman with fluent, Wernicke's aphasia that illustrates how attention to patterns of linguistic interaction may enhance AAC intervention for adults with aphasia.
