One example of a speech disorder is dysarthria. Dysarthria is a speech disorder caused by muscle weakness and you can develop this by severe injuries or diseases. (I am currently writing a paper on what speech-language pathologists can do for people with dysarthria in English!) Now as for language disabilities, makes it hard for someone to understand what others are saying and expressing thoughts. One common type of language disabilities is stuttering. ]]> 2021-10-03 17:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787709953 caadrianacc https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787721115 2021-10-03 18:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787721115 caadrianacc https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787766353 Previously mentioned, dysarthria is a speech disorder that effects the lips, tongue, vocal cords, and diaphragm. Overall, the symptoms for dysarthria change the way you speak. Treatment can be provided by speech-language pathologists by preforming drills to help with speech fluency. ]]> 2021-10-03 18:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787766353 caadrianacc https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787772269 There are different types of dysarthria but the common signs of dysarthria include...
- slurred speech
- robotic or choppy speech
- difficulty moving the jaw, lips, or tongue]]> 2021-10-03 18:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787772269 caadrianacc https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787791909 SLPs will evaluate somebody with dysarthria to find out what treatment would be beneficial. Treatment is based on what type of dysarthria you have and how severe it is. Basic evaluations will conduct of an SLP listening to basic words and sentences. Tests will also be done to make sure how well one can understand/talk. From a YouTube video I watched for research, SLP Ambia Cail presents how evaluations would be done. Mrs. Cail had her patient repeat the word "petca" as fast as she could until stopped. Results from evaluations will be considered into treatment.]]> 2021-10-03 18:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787791909 caadrianacc https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787794232 2021-10-03 19:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787794232 caadrianacc https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787803826 - slowing down speech

This one kind of hits close to home, my dad suffered a traumatic brain injury in December of 2018 after being hit by a drunk driver; also causing him to be paraplegic. My dad often has trouble understanding, speaking, reading and writing which are all signs of aphasia. (According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association). Every time I talk to him on the phone, I can barley understand what he's saying. He also has some memory loss and often forgets what day it is, what he had for dinner, and where we used to live. However his memory has gotten much better, when the brain injury was fresh he didn't know who I was or my name. I am so interested about this kind of stuff because I feel like I have a little bit of experience with it!]]> 2021-10-03 19:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787828888 caadrianacc https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787833359 2021-10-03 19:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1787833359 caadrianacc https://padlet.com/caadrianacc/86tgtfvvtrxc0lfd/wish/1797249962 When talking...

Tips for parents (with the new school year)
- parents making sure teachers understand what type of accommodations are necessary for their child to succeed
- for virtual school; making sure that the student is in quiet spot where they might not get distracted and are comfortable in
- if necessary, ask the teacher if it's possible to use breakout rooms for smaller groups
- for in person school; have your child practice talking to the teacher if they're not feeling well or need to use the restroom
- if your child has problems wearing masks, have them practice wearing a mask for a long period of time to build up tolerance
