Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) working in the medical setting are typically members of rehabilitation teams, who work with individuals who have suffered from an illness, disease, or injury that may result in neurological deficits affecting speech, language, and/or cognition. Specifically, when working with the adult population, SLPs frequently assess and treat individuals diagnosed with a motor speech disorder called dysarthria. There are many types of dysarthria that can be characterized by deficits in strength, speed, range of movement, steadiness, tone, and overall accuracy (Duffy, 2013). Therefore, it is important that SLPs have an understanding of the neurological system, prominent characteristics, and know a variety of therapy…

My learning technique is bodily kinesthetic. According to my personality website bodily kinesthetic learners can't stay still very long and can be very athletic. For example in class I always choose to sit on the exercise balls, and I can not really pay attention for a very long time. According to the same website bodily kinesthetic learners like to always be active. I love to always be active because I always am doing gymnastics and cheer and other active sports. Bodily kinesthetic is my technique of learning.…
Do you ever find yourself moving while trying to study? Do you click your pen or tap your foot while trying to do homework or listen to a lecture? If you have answered yes to these questions you could possibly be a kinesthetic learner. If this sounds like you read the rest of this paper to find out the history, characteristics and strategies of a kinesthetic learner.…
Typically these two types of therapy aren’t used in conjunction with each other, but now they are being tried together. This study, a survey was done and asked about the DBT training and the usage of it within the music therapy (Chwalek & McKinney, 2015). The survey was given to 260 certified music therapists, but got a low response rate in return, which was only 18% (Chwalek & McKinney, 2015). The results of this study were that DBT was in fact being intertwined in the treatment of music therapist, about 38.3% in fact, but there was no empirical evidence to back it up (Chwalek & McKinney,…
The study also sates that music therapy is a unique tool to offer to children with disabilities. It gives them the ability to perform with instruments and to learn basic skills. My client Ray an intellectual disability and after reading this study I realized how important music therapy is for him. Music therapy helped to give him a way for expression and a way to control his behaviors in a structured environment. Though Ray has a disability he was still able to reach his goal of following directions and staying calm.…
Montgomery and the department of neurology in the University of Wisconsin (2005) conducted a study to examine effects of subthalamic nucleus stimulation patterns on motor performance in Parkinson's disease. There were seven participants between the ages of 44 and 75, all diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. After administering the DBS devices in all the participants, the participants were asked to move their wrists in different angles correlating with numbered lights. For example, when the number 5 was lit, the participants wrist should have been pointed towards the number 5 LED. The numbers were arranged in a semi-circular formation on a board with two mechanical stops at the ends to reduce "bouncing back" from tremors. The participants were allowed ample time for practice until they were proficient in the test. All the participants were on their usual doses of medication as well. This was done to reduce the risk of a confounding variable as cause of their results. Different patterns of deep brain stimulations were introduced to the participants during the course of their measurements. The efficiency of how precise their angle was and the time it took them to make the angle with their wrist was measured. Montgomery tries to understand how different patterns of stimulation affect outcomes in motor…

After Hippocrates break-through in physiotherapy, there was very little advancement made to the field. Change to the field did not begin again until 1894 in England, when a physical therapy group called the, “Chartered Society of Physiotherapy” was established by a group of nurses. This group put together several known physical therapy techniques, and then began teaching these techniques to others, spreading the knowledge of physical therapy (Maughan, 2013).…
