Co-occurring disorders in children who stutter.

UNLABELLED: This study used a mail survey to determine the (a) percentage of children who stutter with co-occurring non-speech disorders, speech disorders, and language disorders, and (b) frequency, length of sessions, and type of treatment services provided for children who stutter with co-occurring disorders. Respondents from a nationwide sample included 1184 speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Of the 2628 children who stuttered, 62.8% had other co-occurring speech disorders, language disorders, or non-speech-language disorders. Articulation disorders (33.5%) and phonology disorders (12.7%) were the most frequently reported co-occurring speech disorders. Only 34.3% of the children who stuttered had co-occurring non-speech-language disorders. Of those children with co-occurring non-speech-language disorders, learning disabilities (15.2%), literacy disorders (8.2%), and attention deficit disorders (ADD) (5.9%) were the most frequently reported. Chi-square analyses revealed that males were more likely to exhibit co-occurring speech disorders than females, especially articulation and phonology. Co-occurring non-speech-language disorders were also significantly higher in males than females. Treatment decisions by SLPs are also discussed. LEARNING OUTCOMES: As a result of this activity, the participant should: (1) have a better understanding of the co-occurring speech disorders, language disorders, and non-speech disorders in children who stutter; (2) identify the speech disorders, language disorders, and non-speech disorders with the highest frequency of occurrence in children who stutter; and (3) be aware of the subgroups of children with co-occurring disorders and their potential impact on assessment and treatment.

[Developmental disorders in the fourth edition of the American classification: diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM IV -- optional book)].

In 1991 the American Psychiatric Association proposed a draft version of the IV edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders--the DSM IV Options Book. Authors of this version wanted to increase clarity of the criteria sets and to provide compatibility with the Tenth Edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD - 10). The purpose of this Options Book is to propose some changes in wording, diagnostic divisions and to discuss various options concerning the placement of sections and disorders within the classification. The "Disorders of Infancy, Childhood or Adolescence" section was renamed "Disorders Usually First Evident in Infancy, Childhood or Adolescence" and moved to the front of the classification and also was expended to 11 groups of disorders. Several suggestions have been made about including new diagnostic groupings such as: Rett's Disorder, Eating Disorders and Voice Disorder. The Options Book introduces a superior category for Attention Deficit Disorders (with and without hyperactivity) and for Conduct Disorder/Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Several options are proposed regarding The Anxiety Disorders of Childhood or Adolescence. There is no evidence for a distinction in this category according to the age criterion. One option would be to move these disorders into the adult anxiety section (similarly as in the Mood Disorders and Schizophrenia). In the new version the title "Specific Developmental Disorders" is omitted. The suggestion is to include Phonological Disorder (Articulation Disorders) and Elective Mutism into Speech and Language Disorders section.

Aphemia: an isolated disorder of articulation.

Aphemia is a disorder with prominent speech abnormality. Since its description by Broca, there has been debate regarding the neuropsychological disorganization underlying aphemia: is aphemia an articulatory disorder or a language disorder? We describe a patient with markedly impaired articulation, but preserved receptive and written language function and buccal-facial coordination. The location of his stroke was in the left precentral gyrus, undercutting a small area of motor and premotor cortex. This case suggests that aphemia can occur as an isolated articulation deficit without language involvement or more widespread bulbar apraxia, and may be a severe form of apraxia of speech.

[Palatoplasty of speech disorders and acoustical characteristics].

Some cleft palate patients suffer from disorders of articulation despite early surgical repair of the cleft and improvement in velopharyngeal function. Some of these articulation disorders involve abnormal palatolingual contact. Fifty-one subjects were investigated acoustically as well as management ranged from 8 years to 36 years with a mean age of 20 years and 1 month. Their speech disorders were analyzed and classified into the follows: Chinese glottal stop, pharyngeal stop, pharyngeal fricative, nasality, palatal articulation and lateral articulation. There were more than two kinds of disorder speech in one case.

Awareness of certain articulatory gestures in normal-speaking and articulatory-defective children.

A comparison of the awareness of articulatory gestures between normal-speaking children and those with articulation disorders was undertaken. The articulation-disorders group included children receiving speech training, and others placed on an observation list. The results indicate that the groups did not differ with respect to their awareness of articulatory gestures. The majority of the responses from both groups reflected accurate execution of the task.

Common speech problems encountered in general practice.

The authors consider speech and communication in the light of whole patient care and point out that defects may be signs and symptoms of underlying organic disease. They describe the four classifications of speech disorders-articulation, rhythm, voice and language, with an indication of the speech therapy required and duration of treatment. Special emphasis has been given to those speech problems which are seen by the family physician; these are usually of the articulation group. A short discussion of stuttering and aphasia is given. Emphasis is put on the direction of treatment by the physician and the use of well-qualified personnel as members of the rehabilitation team.

Linguistic humor comprehension in children with articulation impairments.

This study investigated the ability of children with articulation disorders to comprehend linguistic humor. It was hypothesized that children with articulation disorders would have more difficulty understanding humor based on phonological differences than humor based on lexical differences. A second hypothesis predicted that children with articulation disorders would have more difficulty understanding riddles in which the phoneme they misarticulated, either /s/ or /r/, was the source of ambiguity than riddles in which the source of ambiguity did not involve the phoneme they misarticulated. Results did not confirm the first hypothesis as there were no statistically significant differences between groups with regard to the children's ability to understand phonological vs lexical humor. The second hypothesis was supported. Children had significantly more difficulty understanding riddles in which the source of ambiguity related to the phoneme they misarticulated, either /s/ or /r/ than they did understanding phonological humor involving nonerror phonemes.

Speech outcome and maxillary growth in patients with unilateral complete cleft lip/palate operated on at 6 versus 12 months of age.

A prospective study of speech outcome and maxillofacial growth was carried out in cleft palate patients. Seventy-six cleft palate patients were randomly selected for the study group; 41 patients were operated on at 12 months of age, and 35 patients were operated on at 6 months of age. All patients were followed until they were 4 years of age. All patients underwent a complete speech evaluation, videonasopharyngoscopy, videofluoroscopy, and maxillofacial assessment. The rate of velopharyngeal insufficiency did not differ between the two groups (17 to 19 percent; p > 0.05). However, phonologic development was significantly better (p < 0.05) in the patients operated on at 6 months of age. Furthermore, none of the patients operated on at 6 months of age showed compensatory articulation disorder. In contrast, 62 percent of the patients with postoperative velopharyngeal insufficiency operated on at 12 months of age showed compensatory articulation disorder (p < 0.05). Maxillofacial assessment showed that there were non-significant differences (p > 0.05) in maxillofacial growth in both groups of patients. All patients showed similar degrees of maxillary collapse (p > 0.05). The results of this study suggest that cleft palate repair performed at 6 months of age significantly enhances speech outcome and prevents compensatory articulation disorder.
