Tal- och språkstörningar

Logopedi är både ett vetenskapsområde och ett verksamhetsområde som rör diagnostik och intervention av språk-, tal- och röststörningar samt ät- och sväljstörningar.Klinisk logopedi inkluderar många typer av tillstånd och funktionsnedsättningar, både de som är medfödda och de som är förvärvade senare i livet. Gemensamt för all verksamhet inom logopedi är målsättningen att hjälpa personer att förbättra sina språk-, tal-, röst-, ät- och sväljfunktioner. De logopediska insatserna syftar även till att både barn och vuxna med kommunikations- eller ät- och sväljstörningar ska kunna leva på bästa sätt med de svårigheter som kvarstår, för att uppnå så goda förutsättningar för kommunikation, ätande och delaktighet som möjligt.Grundbok i LOGOPEDI är en omfattande introduktion till ämnet. De fem olika delarna består av 41 kapitel skrivna av 57 författare. Del I introducerar läsaren till logopedin som profession och ämne. Del II beskriver utvecklingsrelaterade språk- och talstörningar och därefter följer del III som handlar om förvärvade språk- och talstörningar. Del IV handlar om röststörningar och del V om ät- och sväljstörningar.Varje del börjar med ett kapitel som ger en teoretisk översikt och avslutas med två kapitel om bedömning respektive intervention. Till boken finns en digital del med kompletterande material.Boken är avsedd för studerande vid logopedutbildningarna och är samtidigt en både bred och djup källa till information och fortbildning om logopedi för yrkesutövare inom logopedi och andra professioner.Grundbok i logopedi ersätter boken Logopedi (artikelnummer 31978-01), red. Hartelius m.fl.

En relativt stor del av Sveriges befolkning är idag flerspråkig. Detta avspeglas också inom logopedisk verksamhet, liksom inom förskola och skola, där behovet av kunskap om flerspråkiga barn är stort. Denna tredje del i serien Språkutveckling och språkstörning hos barn behandlar både flerspråkig utveckling och hur en språkstörning yttrar sig hos flerspråkiga barn.Författarna beskriver flerspråkig utveckling liksom vad en språkstörning innebär för flerspråkiga barn. Bedömning och intervention av barn ur ett flerspråkigt perspektiv diskuteras, liksom hur neuro­psykiatriska diagnoser och andra diagnoser påverkas av flerspråkig­heten. Författarna resonerar också kring hur flerspråkiga barn bemöts i förskola och skola samt hur de på olika sätt kan få stöd i sitt modersmål och i sin andraspråksutveckling. För att underlätta logopeders bedömning av modersmålet vid misstanke om en språkstörning finns i boken en översikt över de 10 vanligast förekommande modersmålen i svensk skola med uppgift om hur de är uppbyggda fonologiskt och grammatiskt samt vilka problem som kan uppstå vid en språkstörning.Boken vänder sig framförallt till logopedstudenter och logopeder verksamma vid logopedmottagningar och inom förskola och skola. Även andra student- och yrkesgrupper inom hälso- och sjukvård kan ha glädje av den, liksom pedagogisk personal inom förskole- och skolverksamhet.

Klinisk handbok i afasirehabilitering ger stöd och guidning till den enskilda logopeden som arbetar med rehabilitering av personer med afasi. Fokus ligger på praktiskt arbete med rekommendationer för hur man kan lägga upp rehabiliteringsprogrammet. Handboken har skapats utifrån klinisk erfarenhet och strukturellt arbete med planering av rehabiliteringsprogram i kombination med forskning på neuroplasticitet och intensiv rehabilitering. Marika Schütz är yrkesverksam logoped och doktorand vid Uppsala universitet med fokus på intensiv rehabilitering av afasi och talapraxi efter stroke.

Dico Cards Verb 1 är en kortlek med 26 par bildkort för att träna språk i spelformat. Varje kort illustrerar verb som visar en tydlig vardagshandling – som att baka, åka eller tanka – med noggrant utvalda detaljer som gör det möjligt att träna språk på olika nivåer. Korten är framtagna för att användas i språklig rehabilitering men lämpar sig också bra för träning av språk i förskola och skola, och för svenska som andraspråk. Utformningen av Dico Cards är inspirerad av en intensiv träningsmetod för personer med afasi, Intensive Language Aphasia Therapy (ILAT). Metoden fokuserar på att uppmuntra personerna att använda talat språk i olika spelaktiviteter i liten grupp med möjlighet till mycket repetition och övning. Den vanligaste spelaktiviteten är ett spel som påminner om "Finns i sjön" där man samlar par genom att beskriva kortet man efterfrågar så att de andra förstår. Den tydliga handlingen kombinerad med detaljerna i bilderna skapar möjligheten att kommunicera på olika nivåer utifrån personens språkliga förmåga. Genom spelaktiviteten tränas både språklig uttrycksförmåga, språkförståelse, kommunikation, minne och uppmärksamhet. Dico Cards Verb 1 består av totalt 52 kort, två exemplar av varje verbkort, och levereras i en ask tillsammans med en lista över innehållet.

Boken skildrar barns språkutveckling steg för steg och läsinlärningens olika faser – i förskolan, i förskoleklassen och under de första åren i skolan. Författaren beskriver olika former av språkstörning och språklig sårbarhet och hur dessa kan ta sig uttryck och bemötas.

Förskolan och skolan ska ta hänsyn till barns långsiktiga lärande och ha koll på hur långt varje barn kommit i sin utveckling även när de byter skolform. Språkutvecklande undervisning måste börja i förskolan och fortsätta i förskoleklassen för att ge varje barn förutsättningar för läsförståelse och för att lyckas med bildning, både i skolan och i livet. Men för att ge alla barn samma möjligheter måste vi prata mer om språkstörning, språklig sårbarhet och andra kommunikativa svårigheter. Hur påverkar det barnet i leken, det sociala samspelet och i deras läs- och skrivförmåga? Med den här boken vill författaren öka kunskapen och lyfta funktionsnedsättningen språkstörning och andra språkliga sårbarheter som påverkar barns sätt att kommunicera och uttrycka sig.

I boken betonar författaren och leg. logopeden Catarina Sjöberg vikten av balans mellan krav och förmågor. Barn utvecklas i olika takt och vuxna måste möta dem på den nivå de befinner sig. I boken finns många exempel från olika verksamheter och tips på övningar som visar hur du tillsammans med barnen kan utnyttja deras bästa verktyg – leken.

Catarina Sjöberg är leg. logoped sedan drygt 25 år. Hon arbetar på logopedmottagningen i Halmstad och ingår i barnhälsovårdsteamet i region Halland. Catarina har tidigare gett ut boken Språkleka i förskolan – barns möjlighet till ett rikt språk (Gothia Fortbildning 2018).

Language Disorders in Bilingual Children and Adults, Third Edition, provides speech-language pathologists, advanced students in communication disorders programs, and clinical language researchers with information needed to formulate and respond to questions related to effective service delivery to bilingual children and adults with suspected or confirmed language disorders. The bilinguals of interest represent varying levels of first and second language proficiency across the lifespan. That is, bilingualism is not determined here by proficiency in each language, but rather by the individual's experience or need for two languages.In separate chapters, the book synthesizes the literature on bilingual children and adults with typical and atypical language skills. These chapters give the reader a deep understanding of the multiple factors that affect language development and disorders in those who rely on two languages for meaningful interactions. Chapters on assessment and intervention issues and methods are then presented for each population.For children, the text focuses on developmental language disorder but also discusses secondary language disorders (such as autism spectrum disorder) in bilingual populations. For adults, the focus is on aphasia, with additional discussion of dementia, traumatic brain injury, and right hemisphere disorder. Although child and adult, typical and atypical populations are presented separately, all are considered within a unifying Dynamic Interactive Processing perspective and within a new Means-Opportunities-Motives framework for understanding language disorders in bilinguals. This broad theoretical framework emphasizes interactions between social, cognitive and communicative systems to form the basis for very practical implications related to assessment and intervention.This third edition has been completely updated to reflect the current research on bilingual populations and the best practices for working with them. Studies at the intersection of bilingualism and language disorders have expanded to include additional disorders and new language combinations. The authors synthesize the current literature and translate it for clinical use.
