Book Description
One of the most fascinating problems in Behavioural Neurology is the question of the cerebral organization for language during childhood. Acquired aphasia in children, albeit rare, is a unique circumstance in which to study the relations between language and the brain during cerebral maturation. Its study further contributes to our understanding of the recovery processes and brain plasticity during childhood. But while there is a great amount of information and experimental work on brain-behaviour relationships in adult subjects, the literature about the effects of focal brain lesions in children is both exiguous and scattered throughout scientific journals and books. We felt it was time to organize a meeting where scientists in this field could compare their experiences and discuss ideas coming from different areas of research. A workshop on Acquired Aphasia in Children was held in Sintra, Portugal, on September 13-15, 1990, and attended by 44 participants from 13 differents countries. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal and the group was kept small to achieve this effect. It was a very lively and pleasant meeting. Some consensus was indeed arrived at concerning methodological problems, definition of terms, and guidelines for future research. The main contributions are collected in this book which, we hope, will serve the scientific community as a reference work on Childhood Aphasia. I,P.M., AC.C.

Book Description
The stimulus for writing this book arose from the author's perception of a lack of available texts which adequately integrate the subjects of neuroanatomy and functional neurology with the practice of speech language pathology. This perception was gained from almost two decades of teaching in the areas of neuroanatomy and acquired neuro logical speech-language disorders to speech pathology students initially at the South Australian College of Advanced Education and, for the past five years, at the University of Queensland. Although a plethora of excellent texts devoted specifically to each of the subjects of neuroanatomy, neurology and aphasiology have been published, few have attemped to integrate these individual subject areas in such a way as to provide a more clear understanding of the neurological bases of clinically recognized forms of aphasia and motor speech disorders. In writing this text, I have attempted to provide a better balance between neuroanatomy-neurology and. speech-language pathology. Relevant areas of neuroanatomy and neurology are introduced and discussed in the context of specific speech and language disorders. In this way, I have aimed at providing a better link between the relevant neuroanatomical and neurological knowledge on the one hand, and specific neurologically based communication disorders on the other, in order to enhance the reader's understanding of the origins, course and prognosis of these disorders. Of course the writing of any book requires the support and encouragement of other people. This text was no exception.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Münster (Englisches Seminar), course: Cognitive Linguistics, language: English, abstract: “Aphasia is the neurological term for any language disorder that results from brain damage caused by disease or trauma.”1 The disorder is not exclusively found in adults, but may also occur in children. To lose the ability to understand and produce language may be a major catastrophe for children and has enormous consequences for their whole life, even if speech is regained after some time.2 Therefore, it is astonishing how little is known about the subject and how controversially it is discussed in literature. This paper introduces into acquired childhood aphasia with focus on a syndrome called Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, in which aphasia and epilepsy are combined. Landau-Kleffner Syndrome will be discussed in regard to symptoms, aetiology, therapy and prognosis. Moreover, it will be compared to other forms of acquired childhood aphasia.

Book Description
Acquired Language Disorders: A Case-Based Approach, Fourth Edition, is a practical, easy-to-follow, and organized text for students and clinicians. The authors present each case from a holistic perspective with practical applications to improve activities of daily living, as well as a social interactive perspective to create a complete picture of each case. When treating people with aphasia, clinicians are encouraged to consider not only the language domains but also the cognitive domains of executive functions, attention, memory, and visuospatial skills. Information in the text links the assessment process to treatment goals that is guided by the Aphasia: Framework for Outcome Measurement (A-FROM) model built to augment the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model from the World Health Organization (WHO). This edition begins with fundamental information about brain-behavior relationships and pertinent medical terminology for assessing and treating individuals with a variety of acquired language disorders. Each disorder is then introduced in a case-based format that includes a case scenario with their photo, a functional analysis of the patient, critical thinking/learning activities, a diagnostic profile, the Target Model, treatment considerations, application of the A-FROM model for patients’ goals. Special features include “Test Your Knowledge” sections based on patient scenarios along with an answer key, a Quick Reference Diagnostic Chart for acquired language disorders, and a Functional Communication Connections Worksheet for treatment planning purposes. The text includes an assessment summary sheet for developing a diagnostic profile in addition to step-by-step procedures on administering more than 25 treatment programs. New to the Fourth Edition A new co-author, Ryan Husak, PhD, CCC-SLP Additional case study of an individual with dementia who resides in a nursing home A quick-reference table summarizing screening tools and diagnostic measures for evaluating linguistic and cognitive domains Expanded and updated evidence-based assessments and treatments for acquired language disorders New content on the Social Determinants of Health, augmenting the ICF Model Discussion of the rapidly developing field of telerehabilitation and technology-based interventions

Book Description
Theory and research in aphasiology have typically concentrated on a limited population--right-handed adult monolinguals whose language uses an alphabetic code. Bilingual individuals, ideographical code users, and children (among others) have been separated out. This book examines the available data from these "atypical" aphasics, asking whether what makes them different has a significant effect on language representation and processing in the brain. Each chapter reviews literature pertinent to a given population and explores whether (and potentially how) these populations differ from the "typical" aphasic population. The ultimate goal is to better understand whether the model of language used in aphasiology can be extended to these "atypical" populations, or conversely, whether significant differences merit the development of a new model.

The authors present each case from an impairment-based perspective with practical applications for improving activities of daily living, as well as a socially interactive perspective to create a wholistic picture of each case. For people with aphasia, clinicians are encouraged to consider not only language but also executive functions, attention, memory, and visuospatial skills. This edition begins with a review of the basics of brain-behavior relationships and pertinent medical terminology for treating individuals who have a neurological impairment. Each disorder is then introduced in a case-based format that includes a case scenario with a photo, functional analysis of the patient, critical thinking/learning activities, a diagnostic profile, the new Target Assessment Snapshot, treatment considerations, and a Venn diagram of the A-FROM Model with patient goals for each case. Special features include “Test Your Knowledge” sections based on 10 patient scenarios along with an answer key, a Quick Reference Diagnostic Chart for ALDs, and a Functional Communication Connections worksheet for treatment planning purposes. New to the Third Edition: *The 15 clinical cases include new photos along with the Target Assessment Snapshot depicting level of severity for expression, comprehension, reading, and writing and areas of cognitive impairment. A new case includes a bilingual person with aphasia. *All chapters have been updated with relevant research. *An A-FROM model graphic for each patient’s treatment goals is included. *There is a new Assessment Summary Sheet to help the clinician with the development of a diagnostic profile. *The chapter on assessment is updated and new assessments are added, including the Assessment of Living with Aphasia (ALA) and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (R-BANS), the Progressive Aphasia Severity Scale (PASS), and more. *Chapter 10 includes more than 25 treatment approaches and therapeutic programs. *The chapter on assessment and service delivery for people with ALD includes discussions of the ICF and the A-FROM Model Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content (such as documents, audio, and video, etc.) may not be included as published in the original print version of this book.
