This volume explains the role of speech signal processing in critical care and the management of patient care. The material focuses on the use of speech technology for performing medical case ...management, whether it is crisis intervention for critical care or the treatment of chronic medical conditions.
A new trend in medical therapy aims to take advantage of information technologies and, in particular, the Internet to provide home rehabilitation. In case of the aphasia treatment, which involves ...long and numerous sessions with a speech and language therapist, the implementation of Web-based software for rehabilitation appears to be a key issue. This is the purpose of WebLisling, a Web application developed to be a complementary aid in the process of rehabilitating aphasic Portuguese speaking patients. The article describes the platform's architecture and the group of exercises designed by therapists to enable the user to train different linguistic modalities (written and spoken comprehension and expression). Web3D technologies are used in order to present tasks that take place in the tri-dimensional representation of a flat, where the user can interact with domestic objects with the aim of promoting a treatment as ecologic as possible. This ultimate version of Lisling tools offers a user-friendly access to the therapeutic exercises (even for people with low computational skills) and a remote monitoring of patient's performances, which are recorded in a Web-based database. Preliminary testes carried out on a population of patients and therapists show promising results regarding usability and therapeutic potential of the application.
This provides clinical resources to help clinicians, students, and academics evaluate and treat late-acquired sounds. The text provides a clinical resources toolkit that includes essential clinical ...concepts, including evidence-based practice, Spanish-influenced English, the curriculum, and a new treatment model.
This text presents practicing clinicians and graduate students with the skills necessary to provide evidence-based best practice services to young clients struggling to gain functional communication ...skills and their families. It also serves to broaden the understanding of early intervention within the field of speech-language pathology. Through research, real life scenarios, and practical documents the text presents positive advocacy for this population.
This textbook provides a deep review of the knowledge base necessary for the competent assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of developmental phonological disorders. Thoroughly revised and updated, ...the textbook contains learning objectives in each chapter to further support understanding of concepts and carefully designed case studies and demonstrations to promote application to clinical problem solving.
This comprehensive textbook for undergraduate-level anatomy and physiology courses in communication sciences and disorders programs is neither oversimplified nor excessively detailed. The book is ...written with clinical endpoints in mind, and only those topics that are ultimately important to understanding, evaluating, and managing clients with speech, hearing, and swallowing disorders are covered.
This textbook provides fundamental knowledge of cleft palate anomalies and the current state of evidence-based practice relative to evaluation and management. This text contains information on the ...standard of care for children born with craniofacial anomalies from a developmental perspective along with clinical case studies to help facilitate understanding of the material. This graduate-level text targets speech-language pathology students, as well as audiology students, medical students, and graduate students studying communication disorders.
The paper proposes a solution to improve the efficiency of recognition of speech defects in children by processing the sound data of the spectrogram based on convolutional neural network models. For ...a successful existence in society, a person needs the most important skill - the ability to communicate with other people. The main part of the information a person transmits through speech. The normal development of children necessarily includes the mastery of coherent speech. Speech is not an innate skill for people, and children learn it on their own. Speech defects can cause the development of complexes in a child. Therefore, it is very important to eliminate them at an early age. So, the problem of determining speech defects in children today is a very urgent problem for parents, speech therapists and psychologists. Modern information technologies can help in solving this problem. The paper provides an analysis of the literature, which showed that models of CNN can be successfully used for this. But the results that are available today have not been applied to speech in Ukrainian. Therefore, it is important to develop and study models and methods of convolutional neural networks to identify violations in the speech of children. The paper describes a mathematical model of oral speech disorders in children, the structure of a convolutional neural network and the results of experiments. The results obtained in the work allow to establish one of the speech defects: dyslexia, stuttering, difsonia or dyslalia with recognition results of 77-79%.
The outcome of ten years' work, this book is a carefully planned study of brain dominance, aphasia, and other speech disturbances, and includes a discussion of the cerebral mechanisms of speech and ...the learning and teaching of language.
