Kreatywność językowa dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym
Full text linkLinguistic creativity is a form of children’s activity that involves the creation of new words not found in adult language. The period of specific speech is the moment of the most intensive development of vocabulary – this is the time of the final formation of the language system. The linguistic creativity and cognitive activity of preschool children has a significant impact on the increase in the number of new forms created by them, which are neologisms. In this article the author discusses the ways of creating neologisms and neosemantisms by children aged 3–6 years.Linguistic creativity is a form of children’s activity that involves the creation of new words not found in adult language.

Improving the process of auditory processing and speech decoding using the Neuroflow method in an 11-year-old CAPD patient
Full text linkHearing disorders at the level of the central nervous system significantly affect the development of speech and language communication in children with CAPD. One of the methods aimed at improving the auditory functions, and thus the quality of speech understanding, is Active Auditory Training with the Neuroflow method. Its effectiveness will be discussed based on the example of a 10-year-old patient with hearing impairment.Hearing disorders at the level of the central nervous system significantly affect the development of speech and language communication in children with CAPD.

Kompetencje pedagoga w responsywnych oddziaływaniach a efektywność terapii dzieci z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu
Full text linkEvery child requires an individual and subjective approach – regardless of the difficulties they experience. Each of them has their own pace and rhythm of development. Children’s development can often be disharmonious. It’s important to know that a child’s age is not always equal to their developmental age. If we look at autistic children – their situation is even more complex. Developmental disharmony, difficulties in cognitive functioning, emotional and social communication deficits – just these few challenges mean that autistic children make up one of the most challenging groups to work with for educators. When setting up and executing therapeutic, educational and educational goals, designed to minimize these unwanted behaviors and develop positive ones, it’s easy for educators to forget that they are not working with a “case” but an individual human being. A human being for whom they take responsibility, shaping their internal and external world. Therefore, the choice of therapy goal, choice of methods or forms of work should never take superiority over the child’s individuality. Some authors claim that: “treatment of a child with autism is a race against time” – there is no way to disagree with this statement, but it is worth adding that it’s the child who should be managing that time.Every child requires an individual and subjective approach – regardless of the difficulties they experience.

What should a (neuro) logopaedic therapist know about feeding the youngest patients (0-3) with feeding disorders. Part i. Feeding (nutrition) – meaning, types, functions
Full text linkFood intake is an essential element to maintain homeostasis of the body, and the way of feeding. Whereas the type of feeding in the neonatal and infancy stages influence on one side the health of children and teenagers, and next adults, and on the other side, the way of feeding newborns, infants and toddlers has great impact on the development of the orofacial area being a biomechanical base of articulation. Feeding is also a basic environmental factor having crucial influence on the development of a child’s brain. Not providing the child with all of the necessary elements and energetic needs in the prenatal stage and on the further stages of development, especially in infancy, can have a negative effect on the brain’s structural development (e.g., insufficient myelination of neurons), as well as interfere with its functions, for example, in terms of neurotransmitters. In this article, I will undertake selected aspects of feeding disorders understood as both giving food and providing food, as well as feeding the offspring with their own milk.Food intake is an essential element to maintain homeostasis of the body, and the way of feeding.

Attitudes of a multi-disciplinary team regarding sexual education among students with Developmental Cognitive Disabilities (DCD)
Full text linkThis quantitative study examines the attitudes of multidisciplinary staff regarding sex education among students with developmental intellectual disabilities and compares the attitudes of teachers working in regular education and those working in special education, and attitudes of religious versus non-religious teachers. One hundred and twenty teachers from various schools in the State of Israel participated in the study. The vast majority were women (91.7%), and the rest were men (8.3%). The prevailing level of religiosity in the study was secular (47.5%), and religious (43.3%). Most teachers had no experience working with children with special needs (60%). The study participants completed a demographic survey. The questionnaire used to examine the research questions was The Sexual Attitude Scale (SAS) (Hudson, Murphy, & Nurius, 1983) – a 25-item summated category partition scale that was designed to measure the extent to which an individual adheres to a liberal or a conservative orientation concerning sexual expression. One question was removed from the original questionnaire (statement 18: heavy sexual petting should be discouraged) and 5 statements were added, focusing on attitudes toward sex education for students with developmental intellectual disabilities. The study findings show that the level of conservatism among special education teachers was lower than the level of conservatism among regular education teachers, i.e., special education teachers expressed more positive attitudes. The study find-ings show that the level of conservatism among religious teachers was higher than the level of conservatism among non-religious teachers, i.e., non-religious teachers expressed more positive attitudes. It was also found that there is a positive and significant relation between the seniority of teachers and their degree of conservatism: the more years of experience teachers had, the more negative were their attitudes regarding the sexual education of students with Developmental Cognitive Disabilities (DCD). In contrast, there was no significant connection between age and level of conservatism. The study also examined the relationship between the role of the teacher and his attitudes. The study reveals surprising findings that show that the highest degree of conservatism was found among teachers and counselors, then, among professional teachers, and finally, school therapists who demonstrated the lowest level of conservatism. This means that the most positive attitudes were among the paramedical caregivers and the more negative among the educators and counselors.These findings suggest that training is needed for teachers in regular education, and among religious teachers, who are more conservative concerning sex education for people with special needs. It was also found that there is a connection between the teacher\u27s role and his attitudes, and that the teacher\u27s discipline should be addressed in the training. Veteran teachers have shown more negative attitudes, which is why training, for both teaching students and young teachers, and especially to veteran teachers, has an impact on their attitudes towards sex education among people with special needs. This training, beyond the knowledge provided, will facilitate changes of social attitudes to another, more positive view, towards people with special needs
The influence of individual’s swallowing disorders on their functioning in the family and society. The importance of neurologopedic diagnostics. Preliminary research release
Full text linkDuring my neurologopedic work with patients, I often encounter problems with swallowing that coexist with other disorders associated with neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. This article is an introductory report on the research on the impact of swallowing disorders on the functioning of individuals in the family and society. The described case study concerns a patient with additional health conditions, in whom swallowing disorders (dysphagia) are a consequence of damage to the Central Nervous System (CNS), more specifically cerebrovascular diseases. The article was written on the basis of medical documentation kept from the beginning of the disease, consultations with specialists, as well as an interview with the patient’s family. A key role was also played by neurologopedic diagnosis and subsequent research conducted during the therapy, which allowed for the proper selection of therapeutic agents, proved the efficiency of the therapy, both in the neurological and social sphere.During my neurologopedic work with patients, I often encounter problems with swallowing that coexist with other disorders associated with neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases.
