Abstract

This paper describes the use of a combination of intra-oral sensory stimulation and electropalatography (EPG) in the treatment of a case with severe developmental verbal dyspraxia. A multiple-baseline design was used. The treatment duration was 11 months and started when the subject was 5 years old. The efficacy of the treatment was assessed by calculations of percentage of correctly articulated words, percentage of consonants correct, percentage of phonemes correct and percentage of words correct. Intelligibility assessments were conducted by both naïve and expert listeners. The experts also assessed visual deviances in articulatory gestures from video recordings. Qualitative analysis of EPG data was made. The subject's speech was significantly improved by the treatment in all aspects. The results and their generalization to other cases of developmental verbal dyspraxia are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In spite of adequate dietary regimen, many patients with galactosemia have developmental abnormalities. We studied 8 patients with galactosemia, aged 9 months to 19 years who had all been treated with a galactose-free diet from an early stage. Neurological functioning, general developmental, and language and speech development were assessed in all cases. The results show that even medically well treated children and young adults with galactosemia are at risk to develop disabilities, including mental retardation, speech and language disabilities. Verbal dyspraxia was diagnosed in 3 of 6 patients, who had acquired verbal language, all with IQ 70 or below. This may indicate that verbal dyspraxia is just one symptom among others in patients with galactosemia and mental retardation.
