CASAA: A Case Study

Across the world today, there are many kids who have difficulty with speaking. Many children never get this issue resolved, because they do not have the proper therapy to fix the problem. However, The Association Method, founded in 1956 and professionally developed throughout the years, has seemed to guide these struggling children. The Association Method is a well-known method used to bring speech-disordered kids back into the school system.

Identify and describe the different strategies and targets that can support children and young people’s speech, language and communication needs.

Ava Bracciante, an eight year-one month old female, who has been attending Lehman College Speech and Hearing Clinic since spring 2014 due to parental concerns regarding her articulation. She is currently attending the clinic once a week for 50-minute sessions. Ava’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bracciante, provided the case history report and stated that Ava received a speech-language evaluation at the Ampark School in 2014. The evaluation revealed gliding of the lingua-palatal rhotic /r/ and vocalization of the rhotic diphthong /ɚ/; her intelligibility was not compromised; therefore, she did not qualify for services. Mrs. Bracciante reported that she has seen an improvement in Ava’s speech and is an active participant to her progress.

Recently a speech therapist visited our setting before a child attended sessions at our playgroup. Together we made an in depth plan of action for staff to follow in order to help the child’s speech develop further.

According to C. Joannides (personal communication, April 6, 2016), the hardest population to reach are the homeless individuals who like living the transient life; they do not want to stay in one place too long. Consequently, these individuals are not a good fit for the majority of services offered by the COMEA House as their purpose is to help individuals recover from any substance abuse issues and transition to independent living. The individuals who like to stay transient may take advantage of a meal and/or one night in the shelter, but not much more than that.

Question there was a change over a year ago moving Radium to Doña Ana 140 pages outside of Doña Ana why did we move Doña Ana to radium springs. State fire marshal wanted to close so 2 are in Radium, and 2 are in Doña Ana. When a first call goes out they will move the radium to dona ana station. The state did make an option a substation of dona ana still going to be dona ana fire headed out to radium felt it was easier to do it this way. It ups the numbers for radium. Radium does have 2 volunteers in the department. Trying to increase the numbers in the area. Pioneer days maybe do something at the fire house or hand out flyers at the event.

Those students are always in for a long road of speech therapy as well as, problems with reading. I am interested in new research in the area because these students are typically of average intelligence but struggle in school immensely because of their disorder. According to the webinar on Childhood Apraxia of Speech, CAS is defined as a neurological childhood speech sound disorder in which the precision and consistency of movements underlying speech are impaired. The main features of the disorder consist of inconsistent errors lengthened, disrupted coarticulatory transitions, and inappropriate prosody. Motor performance is the generalization of learned behaviors while motor learning is the retention or generalization of learned behaviors. Motor learning is the problem that children with CAS encounter. Phonological awareness is important for students with CAS because they have difficulty with reading and spelling. The training of sounds can be done while also training speech sound production. A new therapy technique for CAS is using ultrasound biofeedback to establish a motor skill at the syllable or word level. The benefits of ultrasound are that the student can visually see the elevation of the tongue or retraction on hard to form sounds such as /r/. The disadvantage is that most clinicians do not have access to ultrasound at a reasonable cost to

The knowledge and skills that are described within this current document builds on the information from the ASHA Scope of Practice to fulfill the need for more specific procedures and protocols for serving individuals for whom speech and/or writing is precluded as a primary means of communication. SLPs who practice in this area are required to hold the

(CLE),Coalition for Teacher Quality, The Collaboration for the Promotion of Self Determination (CPSD), Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD), Dignity in Schools Campaign, and the TASH People of Color Campaign help support their cause. COPAA uses these partnerships to recruit volunteers, encourage more attorneys and advocates to represent students children with disabilities and their families (pro bono if they can) in their efforts to plan and obtain effective educational programs, teach and train parents to advocate for themselves via COPAA’s online webinars and support group that can be found at http://www.copaa.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=833199&hhSearchTerms=%22webinars%22.

ASHA is short for the American Speech Language Hearing Association. In this association there are groups of speech pathologists, audiologists, and professional aides working towards helping others live a fuller life. Many kids in the world struggle with communication, language, and hearing skills. According to the Intro to Communication Disorders book, the main missions of ASHA include the scientific study of human communication, provision of clinical service in speech-language pathology and audiology, maintenance of ethical standards, and advocacy for individuals with communication disabilities. ASHA has certain requirements that have to be made in order to work as a professional. For example, to become an audiologist the educational requirement

CAS is one of the most difficult disorders to diagnose. Many speech pathologists are worried that it is commonly over diagnosed and misdiagnosed (“Apraxia: Speech Therapy,” 2011). It is not known how many children actually have CAS, but it appears to be on the rise. Certain factors, such as increased awareness of CAS by professionals and families, evaluation and identification

The 22 children were split into 2 groups; 1 half given positive speech therapy, praising their speech and the other half given negative speech therapy, belittling them for any speech imperfection they made.

Barbara Coyle McCabe describes homeowner’s associations (HOAs) as the new private governance in the United States (Nelson, 2011, pp. 546). Private neighborhoods are smaller governments within the larger local governments in which they reside. They have their own unique political and administrative structure that includes elections, regulatory control, and a unique form of “taxation” (Nelson, 2011, pp. 546)
