Explain The Cultural Viewpoint Of Speech Impairment

Speech, language and communication difficulties can have a profound and lasting effect on children’s lives and development. These can affect their ability to communicate and interact with others. The impact of these difficulties will vary depending on the severity of the problems, the support they receive, the demands of the child’s environment

Not at all like racial minorities, most by far (at least 90%) of hard of hearing individuals are not naturally introduced to a Deaf minority amass (Mitchell and Karchmer, 2004; Schein and Delk, 1974); as it were, their family is hearing. Not having a Deaf foundation, the greater part of guardians of hard of hearing individuals don't mingle their youngsters about their identity as Deaf individuals or open them to Deaf culture. Inquire about recommends that hard of hearing individuals not naturally introduced to a Deaf family have a more drawn out time of character advancement, and that the vast majority don't turn into a piece of the Deaf people group until their high schooler years. This more drawn out time of personality advancement is likely

They are times I would sit and think of suicidal thoughts because I thought why God would let this happen to me. They are times I would feel alone and I would ask myself why lord? Why me??? Why can't I have a normal life? I finally decided to get help but it wasn't for long because I was informed this therapy was only for little kids. I never seem to give up on myself. Even when I didn't get the full therapy session, but somehow it gives me hope. The same hope that my therapist gives me in would like to do the same thing by majoring in speech pathology and Nursing. Whether its children's that have different speech impediment whether it is stuttering, lisps. I don't want any children's to feel alone just because they have difficulties expressing themselves. I believe that every child should be heard no matter what speech problem that you have. I want to make a change in children's life and let them know they are not

Before I took the American Deaf Culture Quiz I thought I would have known a lot but come to my surprise I got only 2 full questions correct. I was surprised on how much information I learned about the Deaf Community for example, that American Sign Language relates to French Sign Language. Also I had found that 90% of Deaf people marry other Deaf people. From this test I learned some rules that apply in the Deaf world that would be totally different in the hearing world. I thought that walking through a conversation would be considered rude, but in their world it’s impolite to just sit there and wait till they are done signing. Likewise their facial expression us hearing people would assume it shows emotion when really it shows grammar.

“Raise your hand on the side that you hear the sound. Now open your mouth and stick out your tongue for me. Close it and then make an ooo sound, like a ghost.” This is what a brief clip of a speech and language evaluation might sound like if someone were to be observing. But imagine that the test that was just observed was over and now the clinician must speak to the parents; however, they can only speak to one: the father, due to the strict Muslim culture that the family comes from. What should be done since typically the most important person to inform is the mom and speaking to her is not acceptable? (Cara). This is a dilemma that a Missouri State University- Communication Sciences and Disorders, Speech and Language pathology graduate student recently encountered. One in which she was unprepared for because while Missouri State Communication Sciences and Disorders professors, teach students how to be aware of different cultures, they don’t necessarily teach students how to handle them as they come. This lack of cultural competency poses a problem and in turn hinders a speech-language pathologist’s ability to provide equal, appropriate and accessible services for groups affected by speech and language impediments. Therefore, speech-language pathologists must increase their cultural competence in different cultures and be better prepared to provide services for patients who may not be primarily English speakers or hail from a different cultural background that is not as

Other ways Deaf culture is different than American culture is in how we share information. In American culture, individuals tend to censor

Michele, a deaf woman, once wrote, “I’m deaf. People don’t usually judge me before they find that out. But once that’s discovered, watch out. All of a sudden I can’t drive, speak, learn, laugh, comprehend, or interact. If I’m lucky, I can read at a third grade reading level. If the cards are in my favor, I will meet a hearing man who will take me under his arm and protect me from the confines of this world” (Michele). Stereotypes and misconceptions are present in almost every aspect of modern society. Movies, television shows, social media, and news programs are just a few ways that bias and misconceived opinions weave their way into our everyday lives. Often, people judge without meaning to, and don’t realize they’re making assumptions. Deaf

Often disabilities are viewed in an unfavourable light which aids in the stigmatisation of non-mainstream culture such as the disabled. Culture is defined as “the beliefs and behaviours that a social group shares” (Little &McGivern, 2014). Culture is important as it plays a fundamental role in society by aiding in diversity and in the preservation and passing along of traditions that are not held as part of the norm. People who are deaf or hearing impaired have developed what is now known as “Deaf Culture” The ‘Deaf of the Deaf’ consider themselves as part of a cultural identity rather than having a disability; they share traditions, values and language. In the “Genetic Dilemmas and the Child’s Right to an Open Future”, Dena S. Davis argues

It was hard to make friends and even harder to speak in class. I was feeling desperate when my mother and my therapist had an idea about something else to try. It is called EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy. EMDR is a therapy that helps people heal from life trauma. Even though it hasn’t been described as a tool for helping language, based on the brain changes that happen during the process they thought it would be worth a try. I was as willing to try anything as a mosquito in a blood bank. The therapy was hard and painful, but I persisted. When the sessions were over, the prize was definitely worth it. I could feel the connections between the words and pictures getting stronger. I was also proud because I was “Patient 0” in what might prove to be a solution for others struggling to find their voice. Time will tell as that work goes

I find number 6.c interesting and disconcerting at the same time. I'm sure that isolating themselves is a learned behavior, probably because those who can hear do not know how to relate with someone who cannot hear. I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel a good part of this world. In my experience, people who are introverted usually find it difficult to learn about, and relate with, people who are different than themselves. Call it cultural agoraphobia.

It is quite a task to identify oneself within a “culture” due to the unique social, behavioral, and physical traits each culture represents themselves with. As I began learning about the hallmarks of Deaf culture such as “language, heritage art and history”, I began wondering about how the historical significance of each one impacted the modern choices of Deaf individuals (Holcomb 17). Our textbook Introduction to American Deaf Culture makes references to how important American Sign Language is to define the Deaf community which leaves me wondering how strong the foundation of Deaf culture would be if based on heritage rather than on language. Being Jewish I never learned Hebrew but knew all the prayers, values, and traditions to feel

I couldn’t hear properly. My parents would say something and I would see their mouths moving but I wasn’t able to translate what they were saying. My doctor called it weak phonemic awareness. I wasn’t able to hear the distinctions between sounds. I couldn’t rhyme and had problems breaking down words into individual sounds. The outcome of this was that it took me five times longer to read, and ten times longer to write and speak.

A problem often faced in education is generalizations, the idealization that every child will achieve the end goal, exactly the way it is envisioned. But just like how hearing children learn differently, deaf children have their own unique way of learning, it depends on each child how and which way the learn best. The end goal of educating deaf children is they will be able to mesh into society and able to communicate to others. Total communication is defined as a philosophy that requires the incorporation of appropriate aural, manual and oral modes of communication in order to insure effective communication. The idea that these children would have the attitudes that would place in the in the bi-cultural quadrant of the Nash and Nash frame

I have a different adventure with communication than anyone else I know. I was not gifted with the wonderful ability to be able to speak. The connection from my brain that told my tongue what to do when I wanted to speak did not function correctly. This made my childhood and middle ages very frustrating. I was told I would never benchmark in third grade and that I should start learning sign language because I would never learn how to speak correctly. Thankfully, my mom turned down that idea and kept me in all of my speech therapy classes. People wonder how I made it this far and I’m about to tell the reader exactly how I was able to communicate with very minimal speech.
