Aplicații psihopedagogice pentru dezvoltarea abilităților sintagmatice în contextul TSA

Psychopedagogical approaches for developing sintagmatic abilities in children with ASD

Diandra-Elena IPATE-BERCEA
Abstract

The study examines the role of the Color Semantic method in enhancing syntagmatic, grammatical, and discursive skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). By applying this method, the research aims to reduce echolalia and expand both active and passive vocabulary. The theoretical framework includes an overview of ASD, its characteristics, prevalence, and impact on communication, as well as key diagnostic criteria. It also explores language development theories, highlighting the influence of phonology, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics.
Further, the study delves into language disorders in ASD, discussing difficulties in semantic integration, oral narrative production, and social communication. It emphasizes the importance of early intervention in improving social skills such as shared attention and eye contact. Various speech therapy interventions are presented, including traditional approaches like articulatory therapy and modern methods such as Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The Color Semantic method is highlighted for its structured approach in language therapy.
The practical research focuses on a single-subject qualitative study to assess the effectiveness of the Color Semantic method in enhancing expressive and receptive language skills. The findings indicate significant improvements in sentence structure, vocabulary use, and reduced echolalia. The final chapter outlines key conclusions, practical recommendations for speech therapy, and study limitations, emphasizing the need for further research to validate these findings across a broader population.

Therapeutic approaches for addressing stuttering in school age children. Longitudinal case study

Ildi IOVANESCU
Abstract

Most frequent types of language disorders, which are common for pupils from primary school, are receptive language disorders, expressive language disorders, shuttering and language delay. Shuttering, for instance, is a complex challenge for teachers, parents and speech therapists because they have to constantly sustain the child to produce fluent speech.
The purpose of this study is to identify in which way the shuttering is influenced by the relationship between the morphological component (CML) of the verbal speech and the verbal production (PV) for the pupil from the primary school who is diagnosed with disfluency or shuttering.
Keywords: speech therapy, language disorders, stuttering, fluency, disfluency, K1-3

AThe role of the quality of therapeutic relationship and empathy in the efficacy of speech therapy with children

Carmen COSTEA-BĂRLUȚIU, Bianca BORȘ, Ioana-Letiția ȘERBAN
Abstract

The therapeutic relationship holds an important role in the therapeutic process and has been a highly researched topic in fields such as medicine, psychotherapy, counselling or physiotherapy. More recently, the research has also focused on the therapeutic relationship in the field of speech and language therapy, presenting one of the influential factors from both a clinical and an interpersonal perspective. Considering these aspects, the present paper aims to examine the influence of the speech therapist’s empathy and the quality of the relationship with the beneficiary in relation with the efficacy in the therapeutic process. Two case studies are presented to illustrate the ability of the speech therapists to create a therapeutic relationship based on their level of empathy, that supports the children and their engagement in the rehabilitation process, an open communication, along with the therapists’ perceptions on the child’s conflict and dependency.

Keywords: therapeutic relationship, empathy, speech therapy, children, closeness, conflict, dependency.

O propunere de adaptare pentru limba română a unei probe de fluență verbală fonematică (testul de asociere orală controlată a cuvintelor – COWAT)

A model of addapting in Romanian language of a verbal phonemic fluency test (The Controlled Oral Word Association Test -COWAT)

Ovidiu-Cristian TUDOREAN, Alois GHERGUȚ
Abstract

Verbal fluency is an indicator of good cognitive functioning. The Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) is part of the examination tools in neuropsychology. For English there are stratified standards by age and background (Tombaugh, Kozak, & Rees, 1999). The phonemic combinations used are F-A-S, C-T-L or P-R-W. These combinations are not specific to the Romanian language. This study proposes a way to identify phonemes that could be specific to the Romanian language for an adapted version of the COWAT test.

Keywords: Verbal fluency; COWAT, adaptation for Romanian language.

Investigative study regarding the prevention activities related with speech and language disorders in kindergartens

Simona Bianca ROȘCA
Abstract

The present research starts from the idea of preventing language disorders from an early age, given the results of previous research on the effectiveness of early interventions.
Following a preliminary documentation that consisted in the study of Romanian legislation, specialized literature, speech therapy aids, speech therapy software, sites with medical profile and special pedagogy, it was found an insufficient approach to prevention and we wanted to investigate what activities speech therapy teachers consider to be included in the concept of prevention. We also sought to find out to what extent speech therapists take into account the prevention part and what activities they carry out for this purpose. The results were limited and we see them from at least two perspectives: the small group of participants that led to limited data and the absence or quasi-absence of prevention in speech therapy, this being too little described in the literature and outlined as a methodology in school documents. The most common options chosen by language therapists for prevention were to carry out speech therapy activities in prevention groups under the age of 5 and to carry out information activities for educators and parents and only then screening activities

Oro-motor therapy- practical aspects in Down syndrome context

Mădălina VAIDA
Abstract

The current study proposes an intervention of oral-motor techniques, targeting peripheral stimulation with central-level effects, where synaptic densification is expected to allow a more coordinated motor response, with positive outcomes on the speech intelligibility. The intervention techniques belong to quite different fields: myofunctional techniques (posture determination, isotonic exercises for the oral musculature), oro-facial massage according to the C. Morales method, passive stimulation with a vibrating instrument (z-vibe) and repetitions of diadokokinetics. An ABA (single-subject experiment) experimental design was created and implemented. The output evaluation was based on verbal material, structured from simple to complex (syllables, words, narrative structures) and presented either exclusively by auditory way or by auditory and visual ways.

Dezvoltarea abilităților de comunicare la elevii cu dizabilități intelectuale

Developing communication abilities in children with intellectual disabilities

Ioana Delia ȚÎRLEA, Simona Rodica ABRUDAN
Abstract

This article presents the importance of the constant use of a programme based on the reading of images in the activities of language therapy for the development of communication skills in students with intellectual disabilities.
The first part of the paper presents the particularities of the students with intellectual disability, respectively the particularities of the language and the communication, as well as implications in the educational process. The second part illustrates the analysis of the data obtained as a result of the implementation of the reading program after images in the activities of speech disorder therapy. The objectives, hypothesis and expected results are described.
The design of the study is based on the final results with the initial outcomes after the intervention programe was applied. The data obtained show that the activities determines positive effects in the development of communication skills, the use of a richer vocabulary, the more complex expression.

Keywords: communication skills, intellectual disabilities, verbal communication, special education, speech therapy, reading imagine

Particularități terapeutice în tulburarea de ritm și fluență de tipul bâlbâielii asociată cu hipoacuzia de transmisie

Therapeutic approach in rhythm and fluency disorder associated with transmission hearing loss

Mirela BUTTA
Abstract

Some studies made a connection between mild transmission hearing impairment and the ability to perceive speech rate both led to stuttering.
Language acquisition is closely linked to the hearing development. Children with hearing impairments go through the same steps in hearing development as typically developed children do but they need more time to go through each developmental stage.
During the intervention programme, hearing must not be dealt with in an isolated way. It is highly recommended that the functions of hearing to be connected with the functions the tactile-kinesthetic, visual, dynamic, olfactory, vestibular ones. The child will be able to develop the capacity of auditory decoding and also the communicative competences as the capacity of hearing is growing in combination with other sensory ways.

Keywords: mild transmission hearing impairment, developmental stuttering, speech therapy, fluency disorders,, The Programme of Runyan-fluency rules.
