Brendan's Case Summary

When it comes to conversing, there are a few folks who have a disorder causing an individual to falter at the point of vocalization. The habitual activities that most perform per diem are an added challenge for these folks, no matter the task at hand. This could be showing gratitude, responding to a straightforward inquiry, or stating their own name. The normal falterer being noticeable for conversing complications. We are so lost in the virtue of the "normal" that it is simple to slip one's mind. For most, the normal does not present itself until a problem comes up. As for the faltering, this is the result of conversing. Faltering exposes an essential separation in terminology and vocalization. Various features go into vocalizing but we are generally blind to these features including the normalness of vocalization. Those who falter, are very aware of

L.R.’s fluency was assessed using the Stuttering Severity instrument- Fourth Edition (SSI-4). The SSI-4 is a norm-referenced assessment, that analyzes a child or adult’s stuttering severity.

Imagine talking to someone, without hearing what you or they are saying. This is possible with lipreading and speech therapy. Lipreading can help you understand what the person you are talking to is saying, but speech therapy helps you actually talk. Deaf people haven’t ever had a chance to talk, so they don’t know how to move their mouths in the correct way like hearing people do, however speech therapy helps these deaf people move their mouths correctly to speak normally. Rachel Kolb has gone through at least 18 years of speech therapy, all while being deaf. The therapy helped her, however, in the fact that she is now able to speak normally and sounds the same as any hearing person, except with an

Language is beautiful and wondrous phenomenon. Not only is it a crucial component in everyday communication, but it also accentuates the culture of those that speak it. As a student pursuing a career in speech-language pathology, the aspects of communication, such as language, are the pillars of my future profession and will be deeply embedded into my daily life. There are many reasons I have chosen this path, but my childhood friend, Jasmine, can be accredited with my finishing decision to become a speech-language pathologist. When I was in elementary school, Jasmine was one of my closest friends, but I did not always get to play with her at recess because she frequently had to see an audiologist, or go to speech therapy. Jasmine had a congenital

On Thursday, December 3rd, 2015 at 2:00 PM I observed an hour and forty five minute secession at East Stroudsburg’s Speech and Hearing Center. East Stroudsburg’s Speech and Hearing Center is located on campus, in the town of East Stroudsburg PA, on the second floor of Monroe (building). The clinic at ESU was very clean and organized. It had multiple therapy and diagnostic rooms that were set up nicely and welcoming for a client. The types of population seen at the ESU’s clinic range from any age for speech therapy or audiological visits. The clinical audiologist I observed was Susan Dillmuth- Miller Au.D., CCC-A, FAAA..

Brendan Flynn was recently let go as a Priest at St. Nicholas. Brendan Flynn uses his powerful speaking skills and big persona to connect on a personal level with churchgoers and students alike. A few Sisters at St. Nicholas have noticed Brendan taking a particular liking to a new black student named Donald. Donald is an innocent kid who is looking for some sort of belonging. He is easily swayed and has been spending a lot of time with Flynn. Sister Aloysuis Beauvier became worried about the relationship between the Priest and Donald. Priests have a certain level of respect from the students and this respect could be used for the wrong purposes. After gym class one day, Sister James became worried. She witnessed Flynn placing a child’s size white undershirt into Donald’s locker. The shirt looked worn as if it was recently removed. Sister James reported the inappropriate behavior by Flynn to Sister Aloysuis.

On December 31st, 1964 Peter, Barbara Ann and garland Egan were soon to be familiar with the Watertown police Department. The three were suspected to be in a long string of burglaries.

Bill and Beverly Jay were anticipating a New Year’s Eve gathering with friends and family in Norwood, New York, when Bill pulled into a rest area. What the couple stumbled upon on Thursday December 31 1964 was the murder of the Egan’s.

As a Speech Language Pathologist it is my responsibility to provide a means of communication to any individual who has an impairment as it relates to communication. No matter how severe the deficit may be as it relates to cognitive functioning, motor skills,etc.. and any other disability that may impact the traditional means of communication. A Speech language Pathologist who works with individuals who require the use of an Augmentative and alternative communication device, must keep in mind that it is their responsibility to make sure that more than one mode of alternative and or augmentative can be used, monitor the progression of intervention as well as evaluate the individual and most importantly keep up to date with current practice through

Upon review of the Rixton Case study, indications of inadequacies in and ineffective management on behalf of the Rixton Police Chief provide evidence of non-compliance of departmental procedures and the lack of accountability of the Chief of police to his officers and citizens and that of the officers alike to the citizens or Rixton. As the Rixton case study indicates the Chief Eager has “little administrative ability” and “he makes no effort to determine whether his officers understand his policies and procedures...” (Police Administration, 2016), as such, an inference can be made that the principles adopted by the officers is in direct correlation with the lack of accountability within the department. Cordner suggests that assumption should

A speech language pathologist, otherwise known as an SLP, deals with many people throughout their career, which includes patients who do and do not want to receive assistance for their disorders. Sometimes a patient might refuse because they are too young to understand why they need therapy, and adults might refuse the aid of an SLP because they do not find it necessary to receive treatment for the speech, language, or hearing disorder. To address these problems SLP’s will have to give the proper help to the patient as needed. For a child, the SLP might use toys or activities to get the child involved in a talking atmosphere. In a adult’s case, it would be ideal to give the patient as much information as possible in order to let them fully

After reviewing the facts of the Rixton case study I assessed the primary issues were pertaining to the development of two distinct subcultures in the police department and lack of authority from the city’s police chief. Due to the police chief’s hands-off approach to leadership, officers are unaware of his policies and procedures, and they conducted police functions utilizing their own discretion (Cordner, 2016). Let us examine how the Rixton Police Department’s organizational dysfunction allowed for these actions to occur beginning with their chief of police.
