La parola afasia denota i deficit del linguaggio secondari a patologie cerebrali focali e diffuse e puo assumere forme diversissime, a seconda dei meccanismi linguistici colpiti o risparmiati dalla lesione cerebrale. Il disturbo afasico danneggia le capacita comunicative (e spesso anche lavorative) e non e migliorato, tranne eccezioni, dalle terapie mediche disponibili. Le possibilita di incidere su questo deficit sono dunque affidate, per il momento, alla logopedia. Il presupposto per un trattamento riabilitativo adeguato ed efficace e una diagnosi neuropsicologica accurata che stabilisca il livello di compromissione del sistema linguistico e identifichi le componenti cognitive risparmiate o compromesse dal danno cerebrale. L'esame neuropsicologico dell'afasia (E.N.P.A.) qui proposto comprende una serie di test che valutano la presenza, la gravita e le principali caratteristiche dell'afasia nel soggetto esaminato. Per semplicita e brevita l'E.N.P.A. puo essere somministrato anche a soggetti gravi e/o di livello scolare non elevato.

Questo volume rappresenta una traduzione nella pratica terapeutica quotidiana degli assunti teorici espressi nel primo volume della collana. I giochi, gli esercizi, le filastrocche qui raccolte nascono dalla creativita e dalla fantasia di un gruppo di logopediste da anni impegnate nel difficile compito di guidare il bambino con grave Disturbo Fonologico attraverso il complesso universo linguistico. Il materiale e stato ripetutamente riadattato sulla base degli spunti offerti dai piccoli pazienti durante la terapia individuale e di gruppo. Si tratta quindi di materiale pratico che viene messo a disposizione di tutte le figure professionali componenti l'equipe riabilitativa."

Language and Literacy Development: English Learners with Communication Disorders, From Theory to Application, Second Edition brings you the most useful, up-to-date information on best practices for English learners (ELs) with communication disorders from a variety of backgrounds-how to conduct assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring. The first edition of this text gave a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of serving ELs with communication disorders, and the second edition is expanded to show the nuts and bolts of how to meet ELs' needs and how professionals can support their success at school. Continuing the perspective of the first edition, this text emphasizes collaboration between speech-language pathology (SLP) and English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) professionals. To place theory, policies, and best practices in a realistic, relatable context, this text presents engaging, detailed teaching cases that address common issues that SLPs and ESOL specialists encounter. More importantly, it shows how to apply the knowledge and implement the mechanics and practicalities of assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring. The new resources section includes many useful tools and references, such as a case history form for bilingual students, WIDA Can-do Descriptors and Performance Definitions, actual assessment instruments, and a table of intervention types and purposes. The primary audience for this text is the school-based speech-language pathologist. It is also intended for all professionals who are responsible for teaching language and literacy skills, such as the ESOL professional, general and special educators, bilingual teachers, reading coaches and school administrators. Language and Literacy Development, Second Edition can also be used as a textbook in academic programs.

Neurolinguistic Approach to Reading: A Guide for Speech-Language Pathologists Treating Dyslexia aids speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in assessing and treating dyslexia through an approach proven effective by national standardized tests, subjective evaluation, parents, teachers, as well as those in the field. The author developed the Neurolinguistic Approach to Reading (NAR) based on more than 25 years of experience working with individuals with dyslexia. This inclusive approach is based on the complete communication process, oral and written. The text also includes the Cornell note-taking system and can be used as an effective clinical manual or a university reference. This text comes at a crucial time as the scope of practice for speech-language pathology has greatly expanded with the increased recognition of the direct relationship between oral language and a child's ability to read and spell. Additionally, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has defined the SLP's role in the remediation of literacy disabilities such as dyslexia.Through this effective text and utilizing NAR as a treatment framework, SLPs in all work environments can be more involved in working with individuals with dyslexia.

Ideal for preparing SLPs and other clinicians to make sound decisions, this casebook gives readers in-depth, real world demonstrations of today's evidence-based interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

"This book is the output from the Research Symposium held in Croatia in 2010. This text is unusual in that it not only reflects the content of the Symposium presentations, but also reports the discussion that the presentations generated. The discussions that ensued were recorded and transcribed... The consistent organisation of each paper in the collection allows the reader to quickly access the critical information and to make direct comparisons across therapies... (and) provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of a variety of speech restructuring programs... The advantages/disadvantages and the discussion sections in each chapter help the reader with appraisal of the material presented and to make some judgements about generality and value...

The reader feels exposed to the atmosphere and dynamics of the Symposium in a way that is rarely captured outside the conference auditorium." - A review from Sharon Millard (PhD., MRCSLT), Research Lead and Expert Speech and Language Therapist, The Michael Palin Centre, Whittington Health, London, UK

Children with autism often have an intense natural musicality. This book explains how music and language 'work' as systems of communication, and why music holds such a fascination for many young people on the autism spectrum. There are strategies for showing how music can be used to support language development and even substitute for verbal communication. Exploring the progression from a young child's intuitive engagement with music, to using it as a scaffold for communication, socialisation and understanding, the book illustrates, through the use of detailed case studies, how music nurtures a sense of self and provides a positive outlet to express inner thoughts and feelings without resorting to challenging or even destructive behaviours. Presenting an innovative approach to the use of music with people on the autism spectrum, this book will be a fascinating resource for speech and language therapists, music therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, teaching assistants, educational psychologists, carers and parents of people with autism.
