The ability to speak is an important part of human interaction. In this book, a glimpse into the lived realities of 37 adults and 3 children with communication disorders whose humanism is somewhat compromised by their speech, language, or voice disorders is offered in humorous and heartbreaking detail. The patient's struggle to communicate is often matched by their listeners, who are struggling to understand.Stories are presented of patients treated in medical settings for such problems as aphasia, dementia, Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other CNS diseases, apraxia, and head trauma. Other stories look at people who were treated in university clinics for such disorders as cerebral palsy and stuttering. The last few stories look at speech/voice treatment for a transgender woman, the loss of voice in a young man in a state penitentiary, and finally a humorous story of a pilot with left hemiplegia flying the author. Seasoned specialist Daniel Boone does not offer therapy suggestions for either the SLP or the patient's family or friends to try. Rather, for anyone with a communication disorder, he strongly recommends that such patients should seek the guidance and therapy of an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist (SLP). The SLP determines what to do in therapy and practice. The stories illustrate the struggles of those who cannot always make their listeners understand. They may only be able to repeat the same phrase over and over. They may not be able to articulate words clearly enough to be understood. They may give bizarre, confusing answers to everyday questions. Taken together, they also illustrate the difficulties listeners, those who wish to understand, have in trying to make heads or tails of the intended communication. Ultimately, this work provides a sensitive look at the various disorders people have, their attempts to overcome them, the treatments that might be available, and the actions listeners can take in making communication easier and more productive.

Two leading speech therapists in the field explain what voice and communication therapy can offer transgender and non-binary individuals and the interventions used. Each chapter features narratives of individuals transitioning, giving an account of their experience transferring voice and communication skills from the clinic to the real world.

In this guide, a speech pathologist teaches readers the methods implemented to improve talking in others, so if need be, they can do therapy on their own. People with speaking difficulties are at the mercy of insurance companies who are determining how often and for how long speech therapy services should be delivered. It is also a disturbing reality that the likelihood for therapy frequency and length of care is contingent upon either the level of competence or comfort level of the speech-language pathologist or the financial policies of each institution. Often it has nothing to do with the severity or need for speech therapy. Our health care system is in no position to bankroll the long-term therapy needed by the many people who have moderate to profound speaking difficulties. The goal of The Teaching of Talking is to ensure that any loved one, caregiver, or speech-language pathologist is thoroughly knowledgeable in methods to help people improve talking since it is never known when the plug will be pulled on speech and language therapy services. Ittleman says, “I see hundreds of people with speech and language difficulties each year. By reading and applying The Teaching of Talking, you will have the confidence to help your client or loved one, no matter what the insurance company or institution does. By learning to do what is in The Teaching of Talking, you will be more self-sufficient and will not have to rely on anyone to provide your loved one with expert speech therapy.”“The methods of home practice with family members will be of great value for patients with aphasia.” —Daniel R. Boone, PhD, CCC/SLP

Der Deutsche Bundesverband Klinischer Sprechwissenschaftler (DBKS) e.V. beging am 29. Mai 2010 das «Jubiläumssymposium Klinische Sprechwissenschaft» aus Anlass seines zwanzigjährigen Bestehens. Der Band enthält die Beiträge dieses wissenschaftlichen Symposiums, das in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Seminar für Sprechwissenschaft und Phonetik der Universität Halle-Wittenberg ausgerichtet wurde. Sie beschreiben die Vielfalt klinisch-sprechwissenschaftlicher Fragestellungen in Wissenschaft, Forschung und Praxis, weit über den Bereich speziell stimmtherapeutischer Fragestellungen hinaus. Behandelt werden u.a. Aspekte der Stimmtherapie-Wirkungsforschung und spezielle Stimmtherapiekonzepte, frühe Sprachförderung sowie Dysphagiemanagement.

Der Band II der «Beiträge zur Sprechwissenschaft» enthält den Neudruck des Standardwerkes «Die Behandlung gestörter S-Laute» (1955). Nach einer Einführung in die Systematik der Sigmatismen wird über unterschiedliche Behandlungsformen informiert. Schwerpunkt bildet die Analyse von 169 Therapieverläufen, durchgeführt am Institut für Sprechkunde. Im Ergebnis wird der Sigmatismus als Sprachstörung identifiziert, die weitgehend mit der Gesamtpersönlichkeit verbunden ist. Ihre Behandlung kann daher keine bloße Oberflächenkorrektur sein, sondern muss den Patienten in seiner psychophysischen Ganzheit einbeziehen. Dafür entwickelt Hans Krech seine kombiniert-psychologische Übungstherapie, die hier erstmals beschrieben wird.

Die Sprechwissenschaft an der Universität Halle wurde von 1952 bis 1961 von Hans Krech geleitet. Seine in dieser Zeit entstandenen wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten reichen in ihrer Wirkung vielfach bis in die Gegenwart. Da sie jedoch nur noch schwer verfügbar sind, bietet sein 50. Todestag Anlass, eine Auswahl hieraus wieder allgemein zugänglich zu machen. Diesem Anliegen dienen die «Beiträge zur Sprechwissenschaft» mit 3 Sammelbänden. Der Band I enthält Arbeiten zu therapeutischen Fragen. Ein Schwerpunkt ist die kombiniert-psychologische Übungstherapie, die erste umfassende sprechwissenschaftliche Vorlage eines übungstherapeutischen Ganzheitsverfahrens. Eine Audio-CD verdeutlicht das Entspannungstraining und die Therapie von Stimmstörungen.

Many children and adults experience significant breakdown in the use of language. The resulting pragmatic disorders present a considerable barrier to effective communication. This book is the first critical examination of the current state of our knowledge of pragmatic disorders and provides a comprehensive overview of the main concepts and theories in pragmatics. It examines the full range of pragmatic disorders that occur in children and adults and discusses how they are assessed and treated by clinicians. Louise Cummings attempts to integrate the fields of pragmatics, language pathology and cognitive science by examining the ways in which pragmatics can make a useful contribution to debates about cognitive theories of autism. The reader is encouraged to think in a critical fashion about how clinicians, experimentalists and theorists deal with pragmatic issues.

This is the first single-authored book to attempt to bridge the gap between aphasia research and the rehabilitation of patients with this language disorder. Studies of the deficits underlying aphasia and the practice of aphasia rehabilitation have often diverged, and the relationship between theory and practice in aphasiology is loose. The goal of this book is to help close this gap by making explicit the relationship between what is to be rehabilitated and how to rehabilitate it. Early chapters cover the history of aphasia and its therapy from Broca's discoveries to the 1970s, and provide a description of the classic aphasia syndromes. The middle section describes the contribution of cognitive neuropsychology and the treatment models it has inspired. It includes discussion of the relationship between the treatment approach and the functional model upon which it is based. The final chapters deal with aphasia therapy. After providing a sketch of a working theory of aphasia, Basso describes intervention procedures for disorders resulting from damage at the lexical and sentence levels as well as a more general conversation-based intervention for severe aphasics. Anna Basso has run an aphasia rehabilitation unit for more than thirty years. In this book she draws on her considerable experience to provide researchers, clinicians, and their students and trainees in speech-language pathology and therapy, aphasiology, and neuropsychology with comprehensive coverage of the evolution and state of the art of aphasia research and therapy.

Advances in Clinical Phonetics focuses on important developments in phonetic description. Recent years have seen increasing developments in phonetic description, in both instrumental and impressionistic approaches. Not restricted to the phonetics of normal speech, clinical phoneticians and speech scientists working with disordered speech, have been at the forefront of recent work. Some instrumental developments (such as electropalatography), and some transcription developments (such as extIPA symbols), have been spearheaded by clinical phoneticians. The present collection describes and explores these developments. Part one consists of major accounts of advances in clinical phonetics contributed by major international researchers: Raymond D. Kent; William Hardcastle; Martin J. Ball and John Local; and Wolfram Ziegler and Erich Hartmann. The second part comprises six chapters where such advances are illustrated in the context of specific case studies, by authors from America and Europe: Fiona Gibbon, William Hardcastle, Hilary Dent and Fiona Nixon; Marie-Thèrése Le Normand and Claude Chevrie-Muller; Kate Moore and Anna-Maja Korpijaakko-Huuhka; Martin J. Ball and Joan Rahilly; P. Dejonckere and G. Wieneke; Nigel Hewlett, Nicola Topham and Catherine McMullen; and Shaween Awan. Demonstrating the wideranging and lively nature of the field of clinical phonetics the current contributions offer building blocks for further developments in phonetic description — both improvements in instrumentation and refinements in impressionistic transcription, leading to an increase in our understanding of the speech production process, both in normal and atypical speakers.
