ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF VERBAL FUNCTIONS FOR THE FIRST YEAR AFTER ISCHEMIC STROKE

The results of psycho-correction speech therapy are analyzed in dynamics in 78 patients with varying severity and various forms of speech disorders in the early and late recovery periods of ischemic stroke. The effectiveness of conducting classes during the stay of patients in a neurological hospital and the positive impact of these exercises in the inpatient period (outpatient classes, classes at home with a speech therapist and trained relatives) are shown. Patients who did not conduct speech recovery classes during the inter-stationary period showed a decrease in speech activity, in some even a negative dynamic.

The following article presents speech-therapy guidance for the families, who have kids with speech disorders, and outlines directions and means of solving the problem. The authors view speech-therapy guidance as interaction of all the participants in the correction process. Its implementation goes as a simultaneous, coherent system of work, which begins with interaction between the child, the therapist and experts in other specialties (psychologist, doctors, and rehabilitation specialists). Afterwards the work is meant to continue by parents supervised by the speech therapist. The article touches upon both group and individual work done in cooperation with parents. Group work – parents’ meetings, guidance, round tables, exhibitions, seminars, frontal-work lessons, workshops, games and exercises’ libraries, visual libraries, open days and conferences. Individual work – individual discourses, practicing, watching individual lessons, recommendation notices, homework notebooks, conducting surveys and home libraries. The authors claim that the system of a speech-therapy guidance can be introduced as two general aspects in work: 1) Speech-therapy aspect involves acquiring knowledge about phases and peculiarities of the child’s speech development, enhancing speaking communication among children, forming awareness of pre-school children speech disorders, motivation for cooperation with speech therapists, teachers and children, acquiring skills to follow the therapist’s advice and use all the correction exercises. The points mentioned above help to do the speech therapist supervised correction work, to adhere to the same requirements and the sequence of speech influence and conduct systematic correction work in accordance to the speech therapist’s advice. 2) Psychological aspect involves forming the knowledge about age-based psychological peculiarities of children’s development, fostering motivation skills for speaking communication, developing the skill of providing appropriate conditions for effective speech development, promoting ways of successful communication of children and parents. Nowadays there are different ways and forms of speech-therapy guidance for parents. The ones that proved to be the most informative and interactive are contemporary information technologies.

The article focuses on the modification of organizational paradigms for the educational process and finding out the ways to improve the content of future speech therapists training.The author points out that the current format of distance learning requires a concentration of efforts aimed at motivating each student, improving an interaction processes between teacher and student. The formation of motivational and personal criterion for the readiness of future speech therapists for professional activities involves increasing the importance of professional motives, increasing interest in speech therapy as a science, willingness to work with children with speech disorders.The importance of including future speech therapists in the professional environment for the purpose of successful formation of motivational orientation is substantiated: making practical lessons with speech therapists-practitioners, problem solving in the professional situations during practical lessons. Modernization of the content of practical lessons for students and use of practice-oriented and research approaches allowed to form a system of positive motivation: understanding the important role of speech therapist, forming the personality traits needed in correctional work, organizing successful cooperation with children with speech disorders and their parents, creating a barrier-free information and educational environment.The results of the study of readiness for professional activity by the motivational and personal criterion show that students highly value the presence of professionally important traits of a speech therapist (an optimistic prognosis, barrier-free communication, psychological readiness to work with a child with speech disorders and provide counselling and social psychological support for family in which this child is brought up).It is pointed out that the use of training techniques can increase the level of professional motivation necessary for successful mastering of the speech therapist profession.

Background: Surgical treatment of cleft palate is accompanied with speech problems. Speech therapy in these children after surgery can improve their speech. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the quality of speaking in operated cleft palate patients and speech therapy effects in a small group of these patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, speech quality of 55 children with operated cleft palate was assessed regarding resonance, audible nasal emission, consonant production and speech acceptability. Speech outcomes after therapy were evaluated in 19 patients. Results: Cleft palate types were unilateral cleft and lip palate in 18 cases, bilateral cleft and lip palate in 4 cases, secondary cleft palate type in 30 cases and of mere-soft palate in 3 cases. Thirty-five children were operated during the first year of life and 20 were operated after the first year. More than 55% of patients had normal hypernasality with few cases of severe hypernasality and less than 45% had error in consonant production. Patients operated during first year of life had more speech problems. Speech parameters were improved in 19 patients after speech therapy. Conclusion: In conclusion, children with cleft palate have some degrees of speech disorders after repair surgery than could be improved by the speech therapy. Speech therapy should be considered as one of the main treatment protocols along with repair surgery in children with cleft palate.

This article proposes the results of performed work, which aims are to prepare junior schoolchildren with severe speech disorders to solve arithmetic problems in speech therapy classes. Our previous research has found that children with severe speech disorders had difficulty solving arithmetic problems. In the process of preparing junior schoolchildren with severe speech disorders to solve arithmetic problems in speech therapy classes, we observed specific errors at the level of: pronunciation of sounds, words; sentence construction; text translation. To overcome them, we used correction tasks. They were offered to children to perform only when they saw in them a mistake of a certain type, and therefore did not include these tasks in the text of the lesson, and offered them as tips in the working mode. The duration of these correction tasks is 1-2 minutes. The purpose of their use is the awareness of children with severe speech disorders of mistakes and formation of their skills of independent control over their own speech. In order to overcome errors, we offered different tasks based on analytical systems: visual, auditory, tactile-kinesthetic, changing them each time. The final analysis of the features of speech therapy classes has shown that in order to overcome specific errors in oral and written speech among pupils with severe speech disorders during speech therapy classes was effective to use not only tasks for speech development, but also corrective exercises that were involved in different situations depending on the manifestation. In particular, to correct the phonetic side of speech, pupils with severe speech disorders were taught to focus on analytical systems: auditory – associating speech sounds with different sounds of the environment; tactile-kinesthetic – feeling vibration; visual – imagining the articulatory image and associating the sound of speech with visual support. In the future, based on the concise tips of a speech therapist (figurative, gestural, facial expressions, etc.) children were offered to correct mistakes. And when the tips were taken away, they were applied only when needed to individual pupils with severe speech disorders.

The results of the dynamics of speech and other cognitive functions restoration in all periods of ischemic stroke have been established. In the study of speech functions, the motor form of aphasia was more often diagnosed (in 59,1% of cases). In the acute period of ischemic stroke in 80% of cases, speech disorders of severe severity were detected. It was statistically proved that the motor component of speech recovered faster than the touch one. For example, all patients, suffering from sensory aphasia the earlier rehabilitation period ischemic stroke, a volume of understanding speeches sufficiently limited. Parognosia was diagnosed with 50% of patients, in 25% of cases, a violation of phonemic hearing was reviled. At follow-up study there is a positive dynamic in the form of restoration of the impressive component of speech, 75% of patients relatively freely understand human speech. At an in the acute period of ischemic stroke spontaneous speech is changed (lateral and verbal paraphasia is diagnosed in all patients). Polyphasia phenomena had been diagnosed with 50% of patients. Repetitive and dialogue form of speech highly limited. In a late period, polyphasia had been diagnosed with 25% examined. Improvement in the form of a decrease in the number of literal and verbal paraphases was reviled with 75% of patients. 80% of patients were able to dialogue form of speech. In general dynamics of indicators of the degree of speech recovery in women is slightly higher than in men, and does not depend on the age of patients. It was revealed that the most effective speech was restored in the first year after the acute cerebrovascular accident. The restoration of the impressive component of speech was faster in all forms of aphasia. A high level of quality of life was noted in patients with baseline less impaired mobility (an index of Riverbed, Rs=0,68; p=0,01) and less dependent on others (Barthel index, Rs=0,43; p=0,003). Prognostically unfavourable facts for speech restoration include the area of ischemic focus more than 0,8 cm. When assessing cognitive functions in the residual period, 85% of patients were diagnosed with moderate disorders, 15% of patients were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. The obtained data substantiate the need to optimize speech therapy assistance in all periods of ischemic stroke.
