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.

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. A PluralPlus companion website containing brief video commentaries by the authors introducing and discussing the main points for each chapter and materials for instructors, including a test bank, customizable PowerPoint lecture slides, and suggestions for in-class activities.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This book is a tool for the analysis of the United States' Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the development of interventions to meet student-specific needs. The Standards are an education initiative in the United States that detail what K-12 students should know in English language arts and mathematics at the end of each grade. The initiative seeks to establish consistent education standards across the states as well as ensure that graduating students are prepared to enter college programs or the workforce. As of 2014, forty-three states had adopted the Standards.With the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, it is critical that speech-language pathologists collaborate with educators to enable the success of students with communication disorders and English Language learners who have difficulty experiencing success in the general education. The text provides a practical approach for the analysis of the Standards with a parallel analysis of children's strengths and needs, creating a template for intervention.It covers strategies for facilitating the success of students in accessing and achieving the expectations of the general curriculum, with a focus on students with communication disorders, hearing loss, vision loss, deaf-blindness, specific learning disabilities, autism, multiple disabilities, and English language learners. For any speech-language pathologist working with children, as well as their education and administration partners, this book provides strategies for the practical application of the Common Core to support the success of various populations of children in the schools.

This book, now in its second edition, is a practical resource that helps speech-language pathologists, educators, and other professionals understand how poverty affects children's developing language and provides strategies that support these children and their families. The author, a university professor and part-time itinerant speech-language pathologist in the schools, balances research and practical, "Monday morning" strategies for professionals who want to help low-socioeconomic status (SES) students from preschool through high school succeed in school and, eventually, in society. The text presents up-to-date information about the "culture of poverty" and background information on factors impacting low-income children's language skills. It goes on to provide practical strategies for nonbiased assessment, intervention, structuring the school environment, and working with families.Helpful new features in the second edition include: Chapter highlights at the end of each chapter References to many new research studies Content grounded in principles of evidence-based practice Practice recommendations based in research from a variety of disciplines, such as social science, speech-language pathology, neuroscience, and education New case studies of the author's actual clients Because the Great Recession has rendered so many more families homeless, the second edition includes much more information about serving homeless students, including mitigating the effects of chaos through increasing executive functioning skills. The author works directly with homeless people on the streets and therefore includes a broad-based (hands-on and research) perspective about meeting the unique needs of this population. The second edition contains new information about using Response to Intervention (RtI) to serve low-SES students in general education classroom settings. Updated technology recommendations (e.g., using iPad and YouTube technology) are presented. The section on increasing the literacy skills of low-SES students has been expanded, as well.In sum, the second edition of Increasing Language Skills of Students from Low-Income Backgrounds is a must-have for any professional who serves students and their families from low-SES backgrounds.

Clinical Evidence engages the reader with discussions on the neurobiological and clinical aspects of emotions in the human voice. Newest information on production, perception and dysfunctions affecting these aspects of vocal emotions are presented. Fascinating brain studies on how our brain composes, stores, and retrieves vocal emotions as a factor of valence, age, and gender are presented. Discussion is linked to the concepts of social perception of evaluating vocal interactions in the presence or absence of visual input and across distances and situations. This volume shapes our understanding and comprehension of vocal emotions, and may help to explain some of the difficulties encountered between men and women. The reader will discover how the vocal production system in particular is dependent on the physiological parameters modulated by individual emotional state. The perceived emotional valence of being happy, sad, angry, or afraid is discussed in the gender context. Acoustic specialization of the two hemispheres of the brain is presented, and the role of the brain in regulating specific vocal emotions is reviewed.Vocalization patterns thought to help us in sexual behavior including mate choices and the role voice plays in our intimate behavior are discussed. Clinical issues that affect production, perception and interaction of vocal emotions are presented and treatment solutions are presented.

The last volume of Emotions in the Human Voice presents the reader with information on the application of vocal emotions in the daily interaction with technology and whether the vocal emotions are universal or culture specific. This volume presents noteworthy data on cross-cultural vocal emotions and how the emerging silicon technology struggles to provide unbiased and accurate renditions of instruments, computers, systems and products that will interact properly with vocally transmitted emotions. The authors discusses the problems and challenges in creating virtual emotional anthropomorphismic creatures, how automatic recognition of vocal emotions by machines is achieved, and the effects of future technology or our day-to-day "emotional" life.
