Filter by:The aim was to examine the relationship between home literacy of parents whose has children who use cohlear implant and family demographic characteristics and phonological awareness skills of children with cochlear implant.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about (1) how speech skills can be measured and how various tests give speech therapists different types of information for children with speech sound disorder, and (2) whether changes occur in the amount of help children need when they work on easier sounds or harder sounds during treatment. The main questions this study aims to answer are: (1) what does one type of test (dynamic assessment) tell us about speech skills compared to another type of test (static assessment), and (2) does practice of easier or harder sounds show differences in progress. Participants will complete 16 sessions of speech treatment called "modified cycles treatment", and will complete several speech and language tests before, during, and after treatment by pointing to pictures, and saying sounds, words, and sentences.
To develop a remediation software program that is specific for correcting speech errors in patients with velopharyngeal dysfunction in the Arabic language and test its efficacy, on one group comparing pre and post results
Late-acquired sounds, such as /r/ are difficult to learn and many children experience persistent errors on these sounds. The purpose of the present study is to determine whether treating these sounds earlier in the child's life may result in better outcomes.
The aim of this study is to verify phonological and auditory aspects of children submitted to traditional phonological therapy, phonological therapy using a software and placebo therapy in children with phonological disorders.
The purpose of this study is to determine if feedback from a three-dimensional real-time visualization of the tongue, a program called Opti-Speech, can be used to improve speech.
The main objective of this study is to estimate the incidence and prevalence of Internal Rotation Deficit (IRD) defined by a measure of IRD 2 (Internal Rotation Deficit in position 2) strictly greater than 20 ° in a population of advanced-level handball players over a training season.
The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the brain's activity and organization in the development of speech disorders. It will compare brain activity in people with normal speech development with those who stutter or who have a phonological disorder (a deficit in how the brain processes speech sounds). Stuttering and phonological disorders emerge during the critical period of speech development between 2.5 and 12 years of age. During this period, the brain is much more adaptable for speech development than it is after puberty. This study will examine how the brain organization for speech production and perception develops normally during the critical period and how the normal pattern is altered when stuttering and phonological disorders become chronic problems, persisting throughout life. Volunteer adults and children with and without speech disorders may participate in this study. Eligibility screening will include a brief neurological and physical examination and tests to determine normal speech or a speech disorder. The speech testing will be videotaped. The subject will speak aloud, describe pictures, recall words or numbers, imitate speech sounds and words, and perform some listening tests. Study participants will undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study brain activity. For this procedure, the subject lies on a stretcher that is moved into a donut-shaped machine with a strong magnetic field. During the MRI scan, the subject will perform simple tasks, such as listening to speech or other sounds and saying nonsense words. The procedure should take less than 60 minutes, and usually takes from 20 to 40 minutes.
According to studies, speech disorders with unknown causes (idiopathic) affect approximately 5% of the population at some point in their life. Some of these disorders like, stuttering and cluttering, are known for being detected early, during speech development. Stuttering is characterized by sound and syllable repetitions and consonant/vowel prolongations. When stuttering is moderate to severe, it can interfere with a person's job and social activities. Speech articulation disorders are characterized by omissions, or substitutions of speech sounds. The speech of a person who clutters is often difficult to understand. People are often unaware of the errors they make when speaking causing treatment of the condition to be very difficult. The purpose of this research is to study an extended family whose members exhibit a pure form of speech articulation disorders In addition, the study will use data and information gathered from the study and use it to develop guidelines (criteria) for defining and differentiating patients with speech disorders.
