In diesem Buch untersucht Andreas Wolfs die Viabilitat oder Brauchbarkeit der Nutzung von Schlusselbegriffen einer systemisch-konstruktivistischen Padagogik im Zusammenhang mit der logopadischen Therapie. Im Ergebnis lasst sich festhalten, dass die Nutzung der Schlusselbegriffe es Logopadinnen und Logopaden ermoeglicht, Aspekte der ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health), des Clinical Reasonings und der Therapiephasen zu beschreiben und sich individueller und zielgerichteter auf die Wunsche und Bedurfnisse ihrer Patientinnen und Patienten einlassen zu koennen. Daruber hinaus kann die Nutzung eines systemisch-konstruktivistischen Paradigmas der Erwachsenenpadagogik dazu beitragen, die Bedeutung der Padagogik als Grundlagenwissenschaft fur den therapeutischen Bereich zu vergroessern.

Meike Schulte geht der Frage nach, inwieweit sich die Effektivitat der Aphasietherapie in der chronischen Phase steigern lasst. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in dieser Studie die kombinierte Intervention aus einem gruppentherapeutischen Therapiekonzept (CIAT-COLLOC NK) und einer nicht-invasiven Hirnstimulationsmethode (tDCS) erprobt. Diese Verbindung erweist sich als ausserst effektiv. Alle teilnehmenden Probanden profitieren von der kombinierten Intervention. UEberwiegend lasst sich zudem der isolierte Mehrwert der Hirnstimulation belegen. Weiterhin wird deutlich, dass die Kontrolle der diversen Einflussfaktoren auf dieses Therapiegefuge eine besondere Herausforderung darstellt. Innerhalb von Folgestudien mussen diese ersten Ergebnisse anhand von groesseren Stichproben abgesichert werden. Die Autorin Meike Schulte hat sich in ihrem Forschungsprojekt an der RWTH Aachen und im Rahmen ihrer Mitarbeit in der Sektion Klinische Kognitionswissenschaften mit der Erprobung verschiedener Hirnstimulationsmethoden befasst. Derzeitig ist sie in der klinischen Versorgung von Schlaganfallpatienten tatig.

Carmen Barth hinterfragt die Moeglichkeiten zur Kompetenzentwicklung durch das reflektierende Gesprach und fokussiert dabei auf das jahrlich stattfindende Kompetenzentwicklungsgesprach.

So werden ruckblickend auf das vergangene Jahr ihre Lernbewegungen und Entwicklung in der theoretischen und praktischen Ausbildung eroertert. Die Ergebnisse dieser Recherche und die Erfahrungen der letzten Jahre fliessen in den Vorschlag fur einen Reflexionsbogen ein.

Counseling in the field of communication disorders is an essential dimension of professional practice, but just what it entails is often a bit of a mystery. Counseling in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology: Reconstructing Personal Narratives, Second Edition addresses this common concern of students and practitioners by illustrating how to integrate the concept of counseling into clinical practice. Replete with a variety of case studies, clinical guidelines, and actual transcripts of counseling interventions with clients and their families, as well as a practical "toolbox" of specific counseling techniques, this graduate-level textbook offers a comprehensive, novel, and empirically informed approach to counseling, applicable to a broad range of speech, language, swallowing, and hearing disorders. New to the Second Edition: 10 new chapters on the nature of change, critical thinking, culturally informed care, and preparing for the counseling relationship. A new case illustration and three new "tools". A new Foreword by Sue Hale, MCD Reorganized for improved flow of information with earlier introduction of the central framework, followed by chapters to build foundational knowledge and skills. The central framework for counseling has been simplified and reconfigured for easier integration into clinical practice. Based on user feedback, the "theory" chapters from the first edition have been dropped to make room for the added "knowledge and skill" chapters, giving the book a more practical feel. Discussion topics have been added at the end of all chapters in Parts I, II, and III.New images and illustrations throughout. Updated to reflect current research, with many new references added.

Birgit Muller-Kolmstetter geht der Frage nach, wie Lernumgebungen konzipiert werden mussen, um logopadische Handlungskompetenzen zu entwickeln. Die Autorin analysiert, in welchem Mass Hospitation, also das Beobachten authentischer beruflicher Tatigkeiten, fur den Kompetenzerwerb geeignet ist. Aus lerntheoretischer Sicht und mit dem Hintergrund von Kompetenzentwicklungsmodellen legt sie dar, dass der Grad der Aktivitat, Kooperation und Reflexion der Lernenden entscheidende Faktoren fur den Lernerfolg darstellen. Ausserdem stellt sie ein Konzept fur die praktische Ausbildung im Bachelorstudiengang Logopadie vor, das den Studierenden in Hospitationssituationen ermoeglicht, Handlungskompetenz zu erwerben. Die Grundlage dafur ist die kollegiale Beratung, da wesentliche lerntheoretische Merkmale integriert sind und Handlungskompetenz angebahnt und erweitert wird.

The FILTER Approach: Social Communication Skills for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders is a social skills curriculum workbook for use by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and professionals providing social skills training to students or individuals with high-functioning autism, social communication disorders, and/or social anxiety. The number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is growing at an alarming rate and parents report social skill deficits as their major concern. SLPs are faced with providing social communication language therapy to this growing population.The author created this curriculum after verbal attempts to teach the concept of using a "social filter" to students with high-functioning autism. "He/She has no filter" is a common expression for a socially inappropriate or abrasive person. However, the connection between a literal and figurative filter makes little sense to high-functioning ASD students. Research and experience confirm the rote memory skills of children with high-functioning ASD and the workbook capitalizes on this to provide a simple, yet memorable tool for conversation. The F.I.L.T.E.R. curriculum first teaches the literal vs. figurative filter concept and then presents an acronym for connecting the concept to social skills that will help students before, during and after conversation.F - Facial clues: look for information about how someone is feelingI - Inappropriate: avoid "red light" comments and topicsL - Listen: tune in to the person talking and tune out distractionsT - Target: are you hitting or missing the target in conversation?E - End the conversation (and start it) at the right timeR - Repair mistakes made in conversationSchool-based SLPs and school counselors will find this approach beneficial in explaining and then connecting the conversation filter to critical social skill areas. It provides ease of recall by using an acronym and contains a variety of activities for each social skill area: scenarios, theme-related idioms and expressions, if/then and self-reflection sections, and preview/review questions for each section.

Il Protocollo Montreal per la valutazione delle Abilita Comunicative, adattamento in lingua italiana del Protocole Montreal d'Evaluation de la Communication, e il primo strumento clinico di valutazione delle abilita comunicative in pazienti con danno cerebrale (lesione emisferica destra, trauma cranico) o con disturbi della comunicazione (es., schizofrenia) costruito completamente su stimoli verbali. Con questo protocollo e possibile misurare l'integrita delle abilita di comunicazione verbale anche in soggetti con difficolta visuospaziali.

Il Protocollo MEC si compone di 14 prove ed e stato pensato per valutare le componenti prosodiche, lessico-semantiche, discorsive e pragmatico-inferenziali in pazienti giovani, adulti e anziani rispetto al campione normativo di riferimento.

Si presta sia per l'impiego clinico immediato da parte degli operatori della riabilitazione, quali medici, psicologi e terapisti del linguaggio, sia per lo studio approfondito del problemi di comunicazione in una prospettiva di ricerca."

Ripercorrere la storia della logopedia in Italia consente di inquadrare la scienza e gli interventi sanitari nel campo della comunicazione e della deglutizione. Le radici, le premesse e i primi tentativi di cura si ritrovano gia nelle antiche civilta, ma la nascita della comunicologia moderna risale a tempi molto piu recenti. Verso la fine dell Ottocento, in zona mitteleuropea, fanno la loro comparsa informale i primi adepti medici, i foniatri, e non medici, i logopedisti, ma bisognera aspettare la fine del secolo per trovare in questo campo posizioni accademiche e professionali definite. Il volume, oltre ad esporre la cronologia di fatti e avvenimenti, vuole percorrere sistematicamente la straordinaria evoluzione scientifico-epistemologica della logopedia, che a sua volta ha provocato importanti ricadute nei metodi di intervento sulla patologia. Una parte consistente riguarda poi gli attuali aspetti legati alle norme, la formazione e l esercizio della professione.

L'opera offre una panoramica multidisciplinare sulla voce. Racchiude contributi che discipline diverse hanno dato allo studio della voce: strumento essenziale di ogni relazione e di quella d'aituo in particolare.

Medical Setting Considerations for the Speech-Language Pathologist is the first volume in the "Medical Speech-Language Pathology" book series. The series provides graduate students, clinicians, and clinical researchers with functional, comprehensive material to enhance practice in a medical setting. This first book in the series will foster an appreciation of the unique skill set and knowledge base needed by a medical speech-language pathologist. The chapters contain information applicable to a broad range of medical and rehabilitation settings, while delving deeper into complex topics that merit extra attention, such as neuroimaging methods and medication side effects. Readers will come to appreciate the many roles and responsibilities of the speech-language pathologist in the medical setting, across the continuum of care. They will gain familiarity with broader organizational issues, such as accreditation, billing, and medical team members, as well as the specific clinical populations often encountered in medical settings, such as individuals with Parkinson's disease, delirium, or tongue cancer. Throughout the book, case studies are used to highlight the role of the medical SLP, and to underscore the remarkably dynamic and complex caseloads encountered by the medical SLP. Medical Setting Considerations for the Speech-Language Pathologist is authored by experienced professionals and content experts who transform the research literature into clinically applicable and digestible information, with the series editors Kristie A. Spencer and Jacqueline Daniels leading the cohort.

La pubblicazione del Core Competence e Core Curriculum del Logopedista, promossa dalla Federazione Logopedisti Italiani, rappresenta un traguardo importante per delineare l'identita culturale e l'insieme dei valori che definiscono la mission e le competenze professionali del Logopedista. Tali competenze riguardano le conoscenze che deve possedere, le abilita e i comportamenti che influenzano il suo agire professionale.

Il volume e frutto della collaborazione di un gruppo di esperti con interesse specifico sulla Formazione e che hanno declinato, nei vari capitoli, le caratteristiche e la mission del Logopedista in campo normativo, deontologico e didattico, con un particolare sguardo alla formazione in Europa.

Le piu recenti acquisizioni della neuropsicologia cognitiva hanno consentito di focalizzare la natura dei processi linguistici e comunicativi, individuando i correlati fisiologici ed anatomici sottostanti alla produzione (encoding) e alla comprensione (decoding) del linguaggio. La prima sezione intende esplorare i paradigmi, i metodi e gli strumenti della neuropsicologia "per" la comunicazione. In particolare viene fornita una sintesi dei piu recenti approcci di ricerca e degli strumenti empirici applicati allo studio del processo comunicativo, tra i quali la rilevazione dei correlati fisiologici (indici periferici), cognitivi (indici centrali, tra cui i potenziali evento-correlati), e le rilevazioni mediante neuroimaging (come la risonanza magnetica funzionale). Nella seconda sezione del contributo vengono prese in considerazione le componenti pragmatiche della comunicazione. Recenti modelli hanno focalizzato la propria attenzione su alcuni fenomeni peculiari dello scambio comunicativo che evidenziano il ruolo prioritario del "voler dire" nella comunicazione ordinaria. Specificamente facciamo riferimento ai fenomeni dell'ironia e della comunicazione idiomatica, della metafora e, piu in generale, del linguaggio iconico o figurato. Particolare attenzione sara riservata alle recenti acquisizioni empiriche che hanno sottolineato l'indipendenza delle componenti pragmatiche rispetto al piano prettamente "linguistico." La terza sezione del contributo intende analizzare il piano comunicativo non-verbale, con particolare attenzione alla comunicazione delle emozioni. Piu specificamente vengono prese in considerazione le componenti mimiche (volto) e vocali (voce) nell'encoding e nel decoding delle emozioni."

Come risulta evidente dalla pratica clinica e riabilitativa, il bambino disprattico non sa prevedere ed organizzare un progetto d'azione; non sa controllare cio' che sta facendo nel corso dell'azione; quindi non sa fare, ma potremmo anche ammettere che non sa ancora fare, non ha cioe ancora imparato a realizzare funzioni.

Funzioni e azioni possono pero' essere rispettivamente apprese e svolte con l'aiuto di esercizi mirati e svolti in modo continuativo. E' comunque indispensabile ricordare le difficolta del bambino disprattico, se sottoposto a compiti nuovi, inusuali. L'Autrice propone un modello di valutazione e di intervento che tenga conto di ipotesi eziologiche e neuropsicologiche, sottolineando la necessita di procedere con un'analisi su diversi livelli: percettivo, motorio e rappresentativo.

Particolare importanza viene data alla diagnosi e all'intervento precoce per poter provvedere alla definizione e messa in atto di adeguati progetti terapeutici.

L'opera si conclude con l'analisi e la descrizione di casi clinici riferiti ad alcune peculiari forme di disprassia: la disprassia verbale e la disgrafia. Infine, vengono illustrati esercizi mirati rispetto ai vari ambiti dello sviluppo, ideati e sperimentati dai logopedisti che hanno contribuito, insieme all'Autrice, alla stesura del presente volume.

Autism: Attacking Social Interaction Problems: A Pre-Vocational Training Manual for Ages 17+ includes more than 140 activities to promote success in the workplace and in the community. The AASIP Pre-Vocational Training Program provides a comprehensive yet practical approach to teaching social communication skills needed in the workplace and across the life span to individuals with moderate to high functioning autism spectrum disorder and other diagnoses that result in social communication deficits. The book brings added value by including activities that address three additional core clusters of skills: personal development, social skills for life, and daily living.The Pre-Vocational Training Program has been described as "unique and fresh" and approaches vocational training with a primary focus on the social skills needed to be effective in the workplace. Topics presented in this program include sexting-texting and TMI (too much information), workplace idioms, social white lies, shades of "no," the workplace bully, and unwritten rules of society.These engaging activities, which include interactive videos, deviate from the typical approach to teaching by challenging the participants to explore, develop rules, and generate strategies. This approach takes into consideration their unique strengths and learning styles. Our teen and young adult participants are left asking for more.This program, while developed for speech-language pathologists, can also be easily used by high school and college counselors, special educators, job coaches, and parents who express an interest in this type of program.The AASIP program offers three additional books for children ages 4-9, 10-12, and the teen years.Autism: Attacking Social Interaction Problems: A Therapy Manual Targeting Social Skills in Children 4-9Autism: Attacking Social Interaction Problems: A Therapy Manual Targeting Social Skills in Children 10-12Autism: Attacking Social Interaction Problems: A Therapy Manual Targeting Social Skills in Teens
