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

Children with APD have trouble processing the sounds heard into letters and words. Many children may hear fewer words which were really spoken, giving them the impression that the sounds heard are foreign and unfamiliar. On the other hand, some children with APD may actually hear the words being said however they can’t connect the words to their meaning. Children with APD develop a second nature to lip read and follow facial cues to compensate for their lack of understanding spoken language. Yet when speaking on the telephone these factors are not present, creating a difficult task for children with this disability.

To begin the discussion on the effect of noise within a classroom setting, we must first analyze what noise is. Merriam Webster defines noise as “any sound that is undesired or interferes with one’s hearing of something.” Noise can arise from a range of objects. This can include but is not limited to people, machinery or everyday common objects such as a pencil sharpener. While noise constantly surrounds us, it is when there is a large amount of a loud level of noise that it begins to impede our ability to interpret and follow speech. The American Speech-Language Hearing Association outlines the levels of noise that are comfortable for noise. Noise is measured in decibels (dB), and a range anywhere from 0 to 70 dB is considered normal. Anything above 85 dB can lead to eventual hearing loss. While the level of noise within a classroom is well within the normal range, this just goes to show that noise can have a strong effect on our health. It comes to no surprise then that noise can lead to difficulty with attention and learning in classrooms.

Purpose: Preschoolers with verbalization sound disorders have clinically consequential impairments in the engenderment of sound production of the ambient language. Although many of these produced sound errors resolve after several years (with or sometimes without intervention), developmental appropriate speech sound production is not always achieved. Some sound errors may continue

There are several therapies that have been developed throughout the years to help children with the disorder. The Applied behavioral analysis (ABA); the educational therapy, which focus on educational and cognitive skills; the medical and related interventions, and the Allied health therapy, that focus on language development, it includes: “speech/language, occupational, and physical therapists, including auditory and sensory integration, music therapy, and language therapies (e.g., Picture Exchange Communication System [PECS])” (Agency for Healthcare research and quality, 2014). However, the main idea of this research paper is to focus on the music therapy approach, which can serve as an important tool to develop basic verbal and nonverbal communication in

The covenant not to compete that Ms. Rice signed as a part of her employment contract at Suffolk Speech and Hearing Center (“Suffolk Speech”) is most likely going to be found enforceable. As found in Technical Aid Corp v. Allen, there is a three prong test to determine whether or not a restrictive covenant is reasonable and therefore enforceable. 591 A.2d 262, 265-66 (N.H. 1991). The first being, is the restriction greater than is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the employer. Id. Secondly, does the restriction impose an undue hardship on the employee. Id. at 266. And lastly, is the restriction injurious to the public. Id. For the purposes of this memo, only the first two elements will be analyzed as the third has already been found to be a non- issue. Because the covenant that Ms. Rice signed at the start of her employment at Suffolk Speech was reasonable in that it protects Suffolk speech from competition in an appropriate surrounding area that does not pose an undue hardship, it will be very difficult for the court to deem the covenant unenforceable.

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.

it is the noise within the classroom that sets off and anger episode so providing ear defenders

ASHA Code of Ethics: The American Speech-Language Hearing Association code of Ethics consists of a preamble and four principles broken into multiple rules. These principles emphasize the importance of beneficence, justice, and respect for patient autonomy, and confidentiality. These ethics are important because it contains the standards that govern speech-language pathologist

Do you ever find it really hard to listen in class? For most children and teens that is the case and it's all because they are not used to being bored. Too often they are on their phones or playing video games and never have a spare second to relax. It is scientifically proven that there is a part of your brain that

Clinical Implications: Minimal-contrast treatment is effective and efficient for treating children with phonological disability. Avoiding listener confusion is motivating for suppressing process use.

Auditory Processing Disorder Do you have difficulty following vocally given instructions? Or do you have issues hearing the different sounds in words? If you answered ‘yes’ you may have Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). If someone has APD the person has normal hearing, the only thing that causes them to have APD is that their brain interrupts the sound differently. APD can happen to anyone young or old, children or adults, anyone. Children and Adults that have APD face struggles that conflict with school,work, and everyday life and being able to learn from those struggles allows form of research development to find solutions to help those people.

Alex was diagnosed with Audio Processing Disorder, or APD, when he was nine months old. When the mother had been informed of this it had involved a meeting with both social workers and military approved doctors to discuss Alex’s and his mother’s options. APD is often defined as difficulties in hearing and understanding speech with peripheral hearing. Many children with APD often find themselves confused during conversations, are unsure of what is being communicated to them and have difficulties with rapid or degraded speech (Yalçinkaya & Keith, 2008).

“Phonological disorders in children can result from physical or organic causes or may be functional in nature ("Phonological disorders in," 2013)”. Children with a phonological disorder may experience a higher risk for reading and writing disabilities. “If left unresolved, phonological disorders have long-term consequences that may interfere with an individual's future social, academic, and vocational well-being, largely resulting from persistent, reduced intelligibility of speech ("Phonological disorders in," 2013).”

This situation is not an ethical dilemma, as it clearly violates a number of rules and regulations outlined by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Code of Ethics (2016). More specifically, this situation directly violates the profession’s standards of clinical competence and fails to prioritize the patients’ welfare. The non-matriculated student providing and billing for speech and language services without certification or licensure is directly contradicting the following ASHA principles and their rules (among others):
