Language is a unique form of communication system used all around the world, in many different cultures and variations. In the short stories, On Stuttering, by Edward Hoagland, and Me Talk Pretty by David Sedaris, the authors discuss how they had to overcome obstacles in their everyday lives because of their speech impediments. They describe how they felt about their limitations, different strategies they used to defeat their language barriers, and the affects that theses obstacles had on their self confidence. Hoagland struggles with a stuttering problem, while Sedaris has moved to France in hopes to become fluent in a new language; although their handicaps were different, they used many of the same approaches to master them.…
In group 2A there was a five year old girl by the name Norma Pugh. In the second session with Tudor, it was clear that she did not want to talk. Another child that was nine years old named Betty Romp actually refused to talk in general. These two kids were in the group that were fluent speaking but told that they were going to become stutterers if they did not fix these issues immediately. The kids in this group were afraid that if they were talking that they were going to start stuttering. They eventually started to struggle saying certain words. This proved to Tudor and Johnson that stuttering is actually something that can affect anyone if they are giving a certain type of reinforcement. Johnson started this experiment to prove that if a child is labeled as a stutterer, they could become a stutterer. This is was proven true because five of the six orphans in the group of fluent speakers that were given negative reinforcement, became…
Students with speech and language disorders have difficulty pronouncing, speaking and expressing themselves orally with fluidity and ease. In order to accommodate the needs of my students with speech and language disorders, I would provide them with hard copies of all notes and a disk that will read lessons to my students as they listen along while reading at home. In class, I will repeat and rephrase instruction and I will pair my students that are in need of accommodations with high performing students that may assist and help guide them.…
One strategy that EYPs could use to help SLI children is by conducting a language intervention programme. Gail (2000) investigated the effectiveness of an integrated phonological awareness intervention approach for children with SLI. Children participated in three different programmes in which one of them was an integrated phonological awareness programme. Results from all three interventions were analysed. It was determined that the phonological awareness intervention was the most effective in helping SLI children to improve their phonological awareness and speech articulation ability at the level of typically developing children. In addition, imitation is another way that could help SLI children. Connell and Stone (1992) conducted a study where they taught SLI and normal developing children the comprehension and production of novel morphemes. They asked children to imitate the morphemes after they taught them. After 4 teaching sessions over two weeks, it was found that SLI children’s grammar was significantly improved through the imitation technique.…
The concise and well stated purpose of this study clearly agreed with the title of the article. In as much as it was necessary to read and reread the article several times, finally the point of the study was understandable. Moreover, the purpose did agree with the title and should have had a significant impact on educating children with language deficiencies. Objectively, the purpose of the study was twofold.…
Speech, language and communication difficulties can result in profound and lasting effects in a child's life. Although for some children their impairment cannot be avoided, early intervention is essential to give the children the best possible support required. The impacts of these impairments vary depending on the seriousness of the problem, the support received by the child, the child's confidence and the demands for the child's environment.…
“Having a child with disabilities is not easy. Since enrolling in Head Start, I have received the best possible care for my child. They are very supportive in helping get the services that I need to help my child succeed. Head Start is always there when I need someone to talk to or when I need some help for my child. Since my child has been in Head Start, his doctors can’t believe the progress that he has made. No one ever thought that it would be possible for him to get where he is now. We owe it all to Head Start.”…

During my undergraduate studies in the field of Communication Science and Disorders, I volunteered regularly at local events and elementary schools. I have spent over two hundred hours working in conjunction with teachers, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists to assist in educating adults and children who experienced difficulties in the areas of speech, language, reading, writing, and math. These volunteer hours exposed me to diverse populations, various ailments, and differential diagnosis in south and central Florida. Most of my hours were geared towards working with children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with non-verbal and/or autistic disorders.…

Front Of the class: How Tourette Syndrome made me the teacher I never had, allowed me to know about an actual child’s life growing up with Tourette’s. While reading the book I actually felt the emotions he was feeling all his life growing up. It is incredible to know all that a child can do regardless of what is happening with them. Brad the main character of the book proves that rather you have a disability or not, what matters is how you set your mind to want to do things and complete it. In the book one of Brad’s friends from B’nai B’rith Youth Organization (BBYO) said in a letter “I always refer to Brad as “me hero”, now I too can say that. Brad is an inspiration, all he has done and completed his life, all the people he influence and shared his knowledge about his disability. The courage he…
