Full textAbstract:
Imitation deficits are well-documented in autism although the specific nature of these deficits is not completely understood. Researchers have attempted to account for imitation deficits within the context of cognitive theories of autism but these theories have not been successful in explaining all of the gestural disturbances reported in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The types of gestural impairments along with error patterns observed in autism are similar to those reported in adult patients with limb apraxia. In this thesis, a neuropsychological account of apraxia was explored. A cognitive model of praxis processing that has been tested in adults with limb apraxia was adapted for a group of children with autism. An experimental battery of tasks was designed to assess the different levels of gestural processing following the cognitive model. The battery included seventeen different experimental tasks: nine tasks assessing the production of meaningful gestures across modalities (verbal, visual, tactile, and imitation); two tasks assessing the imitation of meaningless gestures; six tasks assessing gestural recognition and gesture comprehension. The main aim of the thesis was to determine if the gestural performance patterns identified in individuals with autism could be more parsimoniously explained by disorders of praxis processing than by the traditional cognitive theories of autism. More specifically the aims were: (1) Determine if an ASD group differs from a group of typically developing controls in their ability to imitate meaningful and/or meaningless gestures, (2) Determine if deficits in gesture production are task dependent (transitive, intransitive, pantomimes), (3) Determine if group differences in gesture production are better accounted for by underlying cognitive deficits in visual motor (VMI), visual perceptual (VP), and working memory abilities (listening recall, (LR) digit recall (DR) and word list matching (WLM), (4) identify the specific patterns of gestural impairments using a single case approach to analysis using results of recognition, comprehension, production and imitation tasks across gesture types. Experiments testing gesture imitation and gesture production across modalities employed a logistic regression approach to analysis which was designed to compare a group of individuals with autism to that of a typically developing control group. Five main findings emerged: (1) Individuals with autism performed more poorly in tasks of imitation and production across modalities than their typically developing peers; (2) Meaningful gesture imitation and production tasks were not performed equally, supporting the theory of task dependency; (3) The same cognitive variables predicting imitative success of meaningful gestures also predicted production success. An increase in visual perception and listening recall were associated with greater success; an increase in LR was also associated with greater success; (4) Different cognitive variables predicted imitation success of meaningless gestures. Listening recall was associated with increased success of hand imitation but not finger imitation. Finger matching was associated with higher performance of finger imitation but not hand imitation and this effect was slightly stronger in the TD group; (5) Results of the single case approach to analysis revealed that patterns of praxis processing were identified in individuals with autism that were similar to those of previously reported cases of limb apraxia. Ideational, ideomotor, and ideational with ideomotor praxic syndromes were all revealed. The results of this study confirm that the cognitive model of Cubelli and colleagues (2000) successfully predicted patterns of praxis processing in ASD thereby confirming that the deficit extends beyond imitation. Standard cognitive theories of autism were unable to accommodate all of the findings. The implications of these results and synthesis of dyspraxia and current autism theories are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Dyspraxia, a form of developmental coordination disorder (DCD), is one of the most common disorders of childhood (Wann 2007). However, while there is increasing evidence that in many cases childhood motor difficulties persist into adulthood (Kirby et al 2013) little is known about the impact of the condition during adolescence. Moreover, existing research reflects the interests and concerns of professionals and parents rather than the perspectives of teenagers themselves. Methodology: The study was guided by the philosophical principles of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). A Research Reference Group of older teenagers and young adults with dyspraxia was involved in the study design and analysis of findings. Sixteen interviews were carried out with teenagers aged 13-15 years over a two year period. Participants’ accounts were subjected to a systematic process of ideographic, inductive and interpretative analysis. Findings: Five themes that represent the lived experience of dyspraxia during adolescence emerged. These were: “Doing everything the hard way”; “I didn’t want to be seen as someone different”; “I’m an intelligent person but I can’t even write. It’s making me fill up”; right help, right time; and making sense of the diagnosis. In accordance with the philosophical principles of IPA the findings prioritise the voice of the participants, and my influence as the researcher and insights offered by the Reference Group on the interpretation of findings are acknowledged. Evidence built through the process of interpretative analysis is drawn together into a conceptual framework. This is presented as a novel means of demonstrating the complex interaction of personal and environmental factors that influence the lived experience of DCD/dyspraxia during adolescence and their impact on teenagers’ sense of identity, agency, ambition and emotional resilience. The thesis concludes by summarising the new understandings about DCD/dyspraxia that the study brought forth, identifying how these might help parents, professionals, support organisations including the Dyspraxia Foundation and researchers to improve outcomes for teenagers living with DCD/dyspraxia in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis investigates the relationship between spoken and written language difficulties. Two children aged eleven and twelve years were studied. Both were of average intelligence but had a persisting speech difficulty of a dyspraxic nature. Normal control data was collected on each area tested so that the casescould be viewed from a developmental perspective. First, a detailed analysis of speech errors was carried out. Compared to Articulation Age matched controls, the speech disordered children made multiple errors, had difficulty assembling the articulatory programme for unfamiliar words and relied upon word specific knowledge. Second, on tests of auditory discrimination, lexical decision and segmentation skills, the speech disordered children performed less well than Reading Age matched controls. Their difficulties were most pronounced in the auditory modality and when non word material was used. Third, their reading and spelling performance was compared to low Reading Age dyslexic children without obvious speech difficulties. The speech disordered children were more deficient in their use of phonological strategies and had not broken through to the alphabetic phase of literacy development. The cases were followed up after three years. Although the children had improved their performance quantitatively, they still exhibited the same pattern of errors overall. They had become "trapped" in the logographic phase of literacy development and were adopting compensatory strategies when reading and spelling. Their pervasive phonological difficulties were compounded by their inconsistent and incoordinated speech. These findings challenge the traditional view of Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia as a motor speech disorder. In addition to their articulatory difficulties, the children also had auditory processing and lexical problems. The findings allow further discussion of the role of articulatory and phonological skills in literacy development. A model of reading and spelling strategies is presented and the points where speech and language disordered children are most at risk, are indicated. Finally, the clinical, educational and research implications are outlined.

Dunford, Carolyn. "Occupational therapy for children with developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) : outcomes and effectiveness." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2008. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/55719/.
Full textAbstract:
The overall aim of this thesis is to identify methods of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of occupational therapy services to children with developmental coordination disorder and their families. A method of applying the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV diagnostic criteria for developmental coordination disorder in a clinical setting is described. This process found that the majority (69%) of referrals were inappropriate. These included children whose difficulties could not be attributed to coordination as they scored above the fifteenth percentile on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (28%), children with general learning difficulties (21%) and other medical conditions (10%). The similarities and differences between parent, teacher and child views of the impact of developmental coordination disorder on activities of daily living are assessed. Whilst parents, teachers and children all expressed concerns about schoolwork the children's concerns give us much more information about self-care, play and leisure tasks such as dressing, using cutlery, playing sports and riding a bike. A pilot trial is conducted which reflects child and parent/carer identified goals. It also explores how to measure the effectiveness of group occupational therapy intervention using a goal- orientated approach and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure proved an effective tool when combined with other measures. The group was innovative as it was goal oriented and, rather than the usual once a week took place eight times in a two-week period. This new style group intervention appears to be successful in firstly achieving goals as 22/30 goals were met and secondly improving coordination as Movement Assessment Battery for Children scores improved significantly. These findings suggest that although this was an exploratory trial and there were therefore potential confounders such as non-blinded outcome assessment, there should be further evaluation of group occupational therapy intervention. The richness of information to show individual development and progressions is explored demonstrating that each child's and family's experience of intervention is unique. Finally combining the results of studies 1-3, current practice and the literature a model for service delivery is proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Psychologiae - MPsych (Psychology)Confronting the realisation that one's child may have a developmental disability presents a major challenge for any parent. The body of scholarship in this area however, focused mainly on the role that mothers play highlighting a distinct gap within the literature. In an attempt to address this, my study aimed to explore the subjective experiences of fathers parenting a child that presents with dyspraxia during middle childhood. This aim translated into the following objectives: to understand the subjective experiences of fathers parenting a child that presents with dyspraxia during middle childhood; to explore the challenges faced by fathers in parenting a child that presents with dyspraxia during middle childhood and to identify the support structures available and support required by fathers parenting a child that presents with dyspraxia during middle childhood. This study was theoretically located within Bowen's Family Systems Theory and the Family Resilience Framework. Philosophically the methodology was grounded within an Interpretivist Framework using a qualitative approach. Consistent with this approach, 14 semi-structured individual interviews were conducted. Fathers were purposively recruited from across the Cape metropole area and were asked about their subjective experiences in parenting a child that presents with dyspraxia. Permission to conduct the study was obtained from the Senate Research Ethics Committee (Social and Human Sciences) of the University of the Western Cape. Participation was completely voluntary and could be withdrawn at any stage. Ethics principles were strictly adhered to throughout the entire process. The transcriptions were subjected to a thematic analysis in which three thematic domains emerged namely; Experiences, Challenges and Support. The thematic domain of Experiences revealed their initial reactions, their emotional responses, their innovative teaching methods and their expectations with regard to their child. The Challenges thematic domain highlighted issues of health literacy, their sense of helplessness, how interactions were circumscribed, the acquiescence of the respective schools and the lack of support that they experienced. The Support thematic domain revealed the external and internal support sources for these fathers. Based on the findings of the study, the recommendations are to create an informal support network of parents and health professionals to share information and to offer a practical guide for parents to utilise in the treatment of their child at home. The findings also revealed that alternative understandings of fathering need to be developed to enable new and more equal ways of being both fathers and men and mothers and women. This is necessary to challenge the limiting essential notions of what is possible for men and women.

Full textAbstract:
Les troubles spécifiques du développement praxique (ou gestuel) sont diagnostiqués comme Dyspraxie ou Trouble de l’Acquisition de la Coordination (TAC). Leur compréhension se heurte à de nombreuses impasses, et dans la définition des concepts de praxies et de coordination motrice et dans l’analyse théorique des déficits qu’ils recouvrent. En l’absence de théorie spécifique à l’enfant, les connaissances concernant le développement atypique des praxies se sont élaborées sur une transposition des modèles « adulte » mais sans en appréhender la pertinence. L’objectif principal ici est de dégager les arguments qui étayeraient l’hypothèse d’un trouble spécifique du développement praxique. Le parti est pris de proposer un examen fondé sur les théories du geste chez l’adulte, et qui cible les différents niveaux cognitifs engagés dans son développement: fonctions perceptives (visuelles, spatiales), exécutives (planification, flexibilité, inhibition) et compréhension orale. Les performances d’enfants diagnostiqués dyspraxiques ou TAC et au développement typique sont comparées dans deux études, de groupes puis de cas multiples. Nos résultats montrent des troubles divers « dans » la production du geste, inconstants dans les profils individuels, et associés avec des déficits non spécifiquement gestuels (perceptifs, exécutifs ou de compréhension). Face à cette hétérogénéité, la thèse propose de déconstruire la conception des troubles spécifiques du développement praxique, au profit d’une analyse qui ne confonde pas un trouble « du » geste avec tout déficit se manifestant « dans » le gesteSpecific deficit in praxic (or gestural) development are diagnosed as Dyspraxia or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Understanding them proves problematic, both when defining the concepts of praxis/motor coordination and when providing a theoretical analysis of the deficits they cover. In the absence of theory specifically related to children, knowledge about atypical development of praxis is gleaned by applying « adult » models, without really understanding whether this is appropriate. The aim of this thesis is to explore the arguments underlying the hypothesis of a specific deficit in praxis development. Tasks were selected based on adult cognitive models of praxis processing in order to enable a comprehensive and theoretically analysis of gestures. We also examined different cognitive functions involved in the praxis development: perception (both visual and spatial), executive functions (planning, flexibility, inhibition) and oral comprehension. The performance of children diagnosed as dyspraxic or DCD is compared to those considered to show typical development in two studies: on groups and multiple case studies. Our results show various difficulties in producing gestures, mostly inconstant in case studies, and related to deficits that are not specifically gestural. Given the heterogeneity of the disorders that we found, this thesis is aimed at deconstructing the concept of specific deficit in praxis development in favour of an analysis that does not confuse gestural problems with other deficits made apparent through gesture

Full textAbstract:
Magister Artium - MA (Child and Family Studies)Developmental Coordination Disorder, often also referred to as Dyspraxia, can be described as a marked impairment in the development of motor coordination affecting daily activities, in the absence of neurological or intellectual dysfunction. Developmental Coordination Disorder is prevalent among 5 to 6% of the population of 5 to 11-year-old children. Primary studies report on psychosocial interventions for children presenting with DCD/Dyspraxia, however there is limited research available. The current study consisted of two phases: a systematic review (Phase 1) and a qualitative research study (Phase 2). The aim of the review was to systematically review previous research regarding psychosocial intervention strategies utilised with children presenting with Dyspraxia. This information was used to inform our understanding for the qualitative study (Phase 2) in terms of how parents manage this disorder in the home environment. The aim of this qualitative research study was to explore the subjective experience of mothers who have children presenting with Developmental Coordination Disorder/Dyspraxia and the psychosocial interventions they use to manage the disorder in their home.

Full textAbstract:
Many children are unable to access speech pathology treatment at the recommended intensity. To address this problem, clinicians use a range of strategies: modifying treatment intensity, mode or delivery agent. Accessing sufficient speech pathology treatment for children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is particularly difficult because treatment should be delivered face-to-face, by a clinician, 3–5 times per week. One relatively new treatment for CAS, rapid syllable transition (ReST) treatment has demonstrated significant acquisition and generalisation effects when delivered intensively, face-to-face, by a clinician. This thesis uses three separate single-case experimental studies to investigate the efficacy of ReST treatment when provided via alternative service-delivery approaches. Lower dose-frequency, telehealth delivery, and a combined clinician–parent delivery model were explored. The studies showed that both lower dose-frequency and telehealth delivery were efficacious. Combined clinician–parent delivery was efficacious for fewer than half the children. Parental experiences of telehealth and of the combined clinician–parent delivery models were investigated qualitatively. The parents reported positive experiences of telehealth, finding it convenient and time-efficient. They had concerns about the combined clinician-parent delivery model, reporting discomfort in the role of therapist, and low levels of confidence and competence in delivering treatment. This thesis supports implementation of both lower dose-frequency and telehealth delivery of ReST treatment. Despite the intuitive appeal of parent-delivered treatment for overcoming access barriers, this thesis does not support clinical application of parent-delivered ReST treatment. This thesis argues for further investigation of intensity variables in CAS treatment and methods for improving parent-delivered treatment efficacy, and the need to ensure clients receive sufficient service provision

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail exploratoire porte sur l’élaboration d'une échelle de repérage du Trouble de l’Acquisition des Coordinations (TAC) à destination des enseignants d'école maternelle pour des élèves de 5 ans en classe de Grande Section (GS).Les enfants TAC font l'objet de repérage et de dépistage tardifs ce qui a des conséquences lourdes dans les domaines émotionnel, social et scolaire pour eux-mêmes et leur famille. Un repérage précoce doit permettre la pose d'un diagnostic dès l'entrée à l'école élémentaire afin que des prises en charge s'organisent rapidement. Le modèle théorique de réponse à l'item, le modèle de Rasch employé, a permis d'élaborer une échelle d'intensité à 22 items, ajustée aux critères diagnostics de la dyspraxie développementale et des activités menées en maternelle : L’échelle d'adaptation à la viescolaire. Dans une première étude, cette échelle administrée à 144 sujets de 3 ans 2 mois à 9 ans 2 mois (répartis en 4 groupes à profil spécifique : en difficulté scolaire, en situation de handicap, avec TAC, avec TED) montre qu'elle est sensible aux effets de développement et qu’elle discrimine sur un unique trait latent le groupe des enfants TAC.L'échelle administrée à un second groupe de 185 enfants ordinaires de 3 ans 5 mois à 6 ans, montre un effet des variables « sexe » et « classe » pour les garçons. Cette seconde étude permet d'avancer un score seuil pour le dépistage et un autre pour l'aide en classe. Les tests statistiques mettent en évidence la fidélité et la validité de l'échelle. Des travaux complémentaires sont envisagés et des pistes d'évolution de l'échelle sont proposées. Deux DVD d'informations portant sur les BEP et sur les TAC, incluant l'échelle de repérage à destination des enseignants (utilisateurs de l'échelle) sont également élaborésThis exploratory work is a study for teachers for 5-year-old children in a reception class, about an elaboration of a scale for identification of the Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Children DCD are victims of late tracking and detection, which have serious consequences in the emotional, social, school activities, for themselves and their families. An earlyidentification allows a diagnosis so that supports can be organized early in the entrance of the primary school. The theoretical reference of item response, model of RASH, has developed an intensity scale. It contains 22 items, fit the diagnostic criteria for developmental dyspraxia and school activities : the Adaptation Scale of School Life. This scale, has been applied to 144 children from 3 years 2 month to 9 years 2 month (divided into 4 groups with specific profiles : withlearning difficulties, living with disabilities, DCD, Persuasive Developmental Disorders). This shows that it’s sensitive to the effects of development. It discriminates on one single latent trait of children DCD. The scale applied to a second 185 children common group from 3 years 5 month to 6, shows a gender effect, a class effect for boys. This second study provides a further score threshold for screening and support in the classroom. Statistical tests highlight the reliability and the validity of the scale. Further work is planned and possible scale development proposed. A digital information (CD)on the DCD that proposes wide tracking for users of the scale (teachers) is also developed

Cette recherche porte sur la compréhension du fonctionnement psychique (affectif et cognitif) des enfants porteurs d’une dyspraxie développementale. La première partie consiste à définir la dyspraxie développementale dans les classifications et dans l’histoire. Ensuite quinze enfants (une fille et quatorze garçons) âgés de 5 ans 8 mois à 10 ans 11 mois ont été vus en bilan psychologique approfondi (Rorschach, TAT, UDN II, Dessin de la famille, figure complexe de Rey, R-CMAS et MDI-C) interprété dans une dimension psychanalytique. Deux hypothèses ont été mises à l’épreuve : La dyspraxie développementale s’inscrit dans une pathologie limite de l’enfant comme définie par la CFTMEA et la dyspraxie développementale entraîne un trouble des contenants de pensée lié à un trouble de la contenance corporelle. Les résultats permettent de discriminer trois groupes d’enfants objectivant ainsi des figures de la dyspraxie. Le groupe 1 composé de quatre enfants présente une pré-psychose et un retard d’organisation du raisonnement. Le groupe 2 composé de sept enfants est typique de la dyspraxie développementale. Les enfants présentent une pathologie limite de l’enfant avec dysharmonie d’évolution et dysharmonie cognitive. Enfin le groupe 3 comprend quatre enfants. Ils présentent un fonctionnement proche du groupe 2 mais leur économie psychique tend vers la névrose. Ils présentent un investissement de la cognition. La recherche se termine par des études de casThis research is about the comprehension of the psychological functioning (emotional and cognitive) of the children who are carriers of a dyspraxia. The 1st part consists in defining the dyspraxia in the classifications and History. Then 15 children (1 girl and 14 boys) aged from 5 years 8 months to 10 years 11 months have been seen for an extensive psychological exam (Rorschach, TAT, UDN II, Family Drawing, Rey-Osterrieth complex figure, R-CMAS, MDI-C interpreted in a psychoanalytical dimension. Two hypothesis have been put to the test : the dyspraxia is incorporated within a “Limit Pathology of the Child” as defined by the CFTMEA and the dyspraxia leads to a disorder of the thought container linked to a disorder of the plain body feeling. The results allow to discriminate 3 groups of children thus objectifying the dyspraxia figures. Group 1, composed of 4 children, presents a pre-psychosis and a retardness in the cognition organization. Group 2, composed of 7 children, is typical of the dyspraxia ; The children present a “Limit pathology of the child” with an evolution disharmony and a cognitive disharmony. Finally, group 3 is composed of 4 children. They present a functioning close to group 2 but their psychological economy tends to neurosis. They present a cognition investment. The research ends with case studies

Full textAbstract:
Background: Dyspraxia, also included under the term Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), is a condition characterised by an impairment in motor skills function which impacts negatively on other aspects of daily living such as athletic capability, handwriting, self-esteem and social interaction. However, no effective therapy currently exists to address all of these issues within this group. The aim of the present study therefore was to investigate whether a complementary therapy, called Fascia Bowen therapy, would improve neuromuscular function and psychological wellbeing in males aged 8-11 (at Primary School) diagnosed with this condition. Methods: A group of 10 participants meeting the criteria of 15th centile or below in motor skills functioning, received a Fascia Bowen therapy treatment session from a qualified Fascia Bowen practitioner each week for 6 weeks. All participants’ motor skills function were assessed by an occupational therapist before and after the end of the intervention using the Motor Skills Assessment Battery for Children test (MABC-2). Additionally, parents, teachers and participants completed questionnaires measuring self-esteem, social skills, social interaction, behaviour and scholastic function before and after the intervention. Results: The participants showed significant improvement in neuromuscular function over time using the MABC-2. However, no significant changes were shown in the other measures of functioning. Although parents did provide some anecdotal reports about positive changes in real life, these were not reflected in the measures. The results suggest that while improvements were shown as significant in the motor domain, which was the focus of the therapy, the results did not translate to other domains of life over time. 13 Conclusions: Further research is necessary to test the efficacy of the treatment’s effects using a larger sample, a control group and a longer intervention timescale. A six week intervention period may not be sufficient to show significant changes in self-esteem, social skills, social interaction, behaviour and scholastic functions which have deep-rooted constructs developed over many years. These may therefore take a long time to change.

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) inclui em seu diagnóstico diversos sintomas, apresentando uma ampla variedade nos níveis de desenvolvimento e funcionamento. Embora não central ao diagnóstico, diversos pesquisadores têm associado déficits motores e dispraxia a esse diagnóstico. Além disso, tem-se associado prejuízos funcionais decorrentes da dispraxia em crianças com TEA. Na literatura são poucos os estudos que avaliam dispraxia em crianças com TEA, nenhum destes estudos no Brasil. Assim, nosso objetivo foi verificar se as crianças com TEA apresentam um perfil de dispraxia característico. Para isso realizamos coleta com 03 grupos distintos, cada um composto por 30 crianças, foram eles: TEA (G-TEA) nível 1, Síndrome de Down (G-SD) e controle (G-C). Para avaliação da praxia, optamos pelo teste Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT), que avalia diversas funções de praxia e já foi utilizado em estudos com a população alvo de nosso estudo. Além disso, utilizamos a Escala de Comportamento Adaptativo Vineland (para verificar o nível adaptativo dos indivíduos participantes), escala de Avaliação de Traços Autísticos (ATA) para sustentação diagnóstica do G-TEA e utilizamos a Escala de Classe Social de Pelotas, para verificar se a classe social teria impacto na amostra. Como resultado, as crianças do G-C apresentaram escores dentro da faixa de normalidade, sendo todos os escores positivos, as crianças do G-TEA apresentaram escores mais baixos do que o G-C, no entanto, apenas em 07 dos 17 testes tiveram prejuízos, com desempenho abaixo do normal, sendo estes testes relacionados à praxia (imitação de posturas, movimentos e oral, além de praxia sem indicação visual), função vestibular (equilíbrio e nistagmo) e, estereognosia. As crianças do G-SD apresentaram desempenho abaixo do normal em todos os testes aplicados, possivelmente isso é decorrente da comorbidade da síndrome com deficiência intelectual. Além disso, encontramos uma diferença significativa maior no escore da Vineland relacionado à Atividade de Vida Cotidiana, ao compararmos crianças com TEA com grupo controle. Estudos corroboram o achado em nossa pesquisa, indicando que, crianças com TEA apresentam dispraxia que parece ser característica deste transtorno. Alguns estudos encontraram que as crianças com TEA apresentam prejuízos nas mesmas áreas dos encontrados por nós. Os profissionais embora defendam a intervenção com essas crianças, têm usado poucas avaliações que justifiquem tais intervenções, dessa forma, acreditamos que é importante o uso de instrumentos para avaliação da praxia em crianças com TEA, visando direcionar o planejamento terapêutico e ganhos funcionais para essas criançasAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) includes in its diagnostic several symptoms, with a wide variety in the levels of development and functioning. Although motor deficits and dyspraxia are not relevant to the diagnosis, several researchers have done this association. In addition, functional impairments due to dyspraxia have been associated in children with ASD. In the literature, there are few studies evaluating dyspraxia in children with ASD none of these studies in Brazil. Our aim was to verify if children with ASD have a characteristic dyspraxia profile. To do this, we performed a collection of three different groups, each composed of 30 children: ASD (G-ASD) level 1, Down Syndrome (G-DS) and control (G-C). In order to evaluate praxis, we decided to use the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT), which evaluates several praxis functions and has already been used in studies with the target population of our study. In addition, we used the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (to verify the adaptive level of the participants), Autistic Trait Scale (ATA) for diagnostic support of G-ASD and used the Pelotas Social Class Scale to verify if social class would have an impact on the sample. As a result, G-C presented scores within the range of normal, and all scores were positive, G-ASD children presented lower scores than GC, however, only in 07 of 17 tests with performance below of the normal, being these tests related to praxis (imitation of postures, movements and oral, besides praxis without visual indication), vestibular function (balance and nystagmus) and stereognosis. The G-DS children presented below-normal performance in all applied tests, possibly due to the comorbidity of the syndrome with intellectual disability. In addition, we found a major significant difference in the Vineland score related to Daily Living Activity, when comparing children with ASD with the control group. Studies corroborate the finding in our study, indicating that children with ASD have dyspraxia that appears to be characteristic of this disorder. Some studies have found that children with ASD has same difficulties that we found. Although practitioners advocate intervention with these children, they have used few evaluations instruments to justify such interventions, so we believe that it is important to use instruments to assess praxis in children with ASD, in order to direct the therapeutic planning and functional gains for these children

Uppsatsen är en litteraturstudie som syftar till att definiera begreppet dyspraxi och kartlägga de faktorer som ger upphov till dyspraktiska svårigheter. I arbetet framgår hur svårigheterna manifesteras i individens vardag samt hur man på bästa sätt kan möta och stödja individer med dyspraxi. Det som framkommit av vår studie är att dyspraxibegreppet är ett mångfacetterat begrepp med olika definitioner beroende på i vilket land man befinner sig. Det är i hjärnan och nervsystemet man kan finna de bakomliggande faktorer som ger upphov till svårigheter i främst tre specifika områden nämligen: perception, motorik och sensorisk integrering. Det har visat sig att det neuropedagogiska synsättet är ett ypperligt sätt att se på individens svårigheter men även att lyfta fram individens starka sidor och potentiella utvecklingsmöjligheter. Det neoropedagogiska förhållningssätt är brett och inkluderar flera olika sätt att tänka på, närma sig, se på utveckling och lärandet. Vi har funnit flera olika tips på övningar som kan utveckla individer med dyspraxi i olika avseenden som han/hon kanske inte fullt ut behärskar. För oss har det neuropedagogiska förhållningssättet blivit en självklar del i vårt arbete.

Introdução: A articulação da fala é um dos aspectos fonoaudiológicos mais comprometidos na doença de Parkinson (DP). Pacientes com DP apresentam risco de manifestar apraxia não verbal e verbal. A apraxia não verbal ocorre quando há um déficit na habilidade de sequencialização dos movimentos voluntários não verbais da língua, lábios, mandíbula e outras estruturas orofaciais associadas, e a apraxia verbal é definida como um déficit na habilidade de sequencializar os controles motores necessários para o posicionamento correto dos articuladores durante a produção voluntária da fala. A prevalência com que apraxia da fala ocorre na DP não está bem estabelecida, sendo um distúrbio pouco explorado nesses pacientes. É um estudo inédito, até onde temos conhecimento, quanto à identificação dos erros práxicos verbais na DP. Objetivo: avaliar a prevalência da praxia não verbal e verbal em pacientes com doença de Parkinson, correlacionandoas com idade, escolaridade, tempo de doença e estadiamento da DP (Hoehn e Yahr), assim como correlacionar a apraxia não verbal com a apraxia verbal e identificar os erros práxicos verbais. Método: Estudo quantitativo, observacional, descritivo e de prevalência. Foram avaliados 45 pacientes acometidos pela DP, que realizaram seguimento clínico no ambulatório de Distúrbios do Movimento do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brasil, através da aplicação do Protocolo de Avaliação da Apraxia da Fala, e o estadiamento da DP foi controlado através da escala de Hoehn e Yahr (H&Y). Resultados: A prevalência de apraxia não verbal e verbal nos pacientes com DP foi de 24,4%. Não houve significância entre apraxia não verbal com idade, escolaridade, tempo de doença, estadiamento da DP (H&Y) e gênero. A correlação entre apraxia verbal e escolaridade foi significante (p≤0,05), mas não houve significância com idade, tempo de doença, estadiamento da DP (H&Y) e gênero. Os tipos de erros práxicos verbais mais frequentes foram as omissões (70,8%). Quanto ao ponto e modo articulatório os fonemas mais alterados foram os dentoalveolares (92%) e os vibrantes (57,7%), consecutivamente. Conclusão: Os pacientes com DP apresentaram apraxia não verbal e verbal com manifestação de muitos erros práxicos verbais, estando a apraxia verbal correlacionada com a escolaridade.Introduction: The speech articulation is one of the aspects most impaired in Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients PD present risk of expressing nonverbal and verbal apraxia. The nonverbal apraxia occurs when there is a deficit in the sequencing ability of nonverbal voluntary movements of the tongue, lips, jaw and other associated orofacial structures, while the verbal apraxia is defined as a deficit in the ability of sequencing the necessary motor controls in order to place the articulators correctly during the voluntary speech production. The predominance with which apraxia of speech occurs in PD is not well established and rarely explored in these patients. As far as we know, it is an unprecedented study regarding the identification of verbal praxic errors in PD. Objective: To assess the prevalence of nonverbal and verbal apraxia in patients with Parkinson's disease, correlating them with age, education, duration of disease and PD stage (Hoehn e Yahr), as well as to correlate nonverbal with verbal apraxia and identify the verbal praxic errors. Method: Quantitative, observational, descriptive and prevalence study. Forty-five patients with PD were evaluated. They were submitted to the clinical follow-up in the Movement Disorders Clinic of the Cinical Hospital of Porto Alegre, Brazil, through the application of the Speech Apraxia Assessment Protocol. Additionally, the PD stage was controlled through the Hoehn and Yahr scale (H&Y). Results: The prevalence of nonverbal and verbal apraxia in patients with PD was 24.4%. There was no significance between the nonverbal apraxia with age, education, duration of disease, PD stage (H&Y), and genre. The correlation between verbal apraxia and education was significant (p ≤ 0.05), but there was no significance with age, duration of disease, PD stage (H&Y) and genre. Omissions were the most frequent kinds of verbal praxic errors with (70.8 percent). Regarding the place and mode of articulation, the most changed phonemes were the dentoalveolar (92%)and the vibrants (57.7%), consecutively. Conclusion: Patients with PD presented nonverbal and verbal apraxia with manifestation of many verbal praxic errors and verbal apraxia correlated with education levels.

Thesis (MEd)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Even though dyspraxia is a fairly new and unknown disorder, especially in South Africa, a fair amount of research has been conducted on what this condition entails, its causes and symptoms, as well as the resources available to deal with children with dyspraxia. However, research on the emotions, frustrations and concerns of the parents of children with dyspraxia is not as readily available. Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological perspective was used as it identifies the family’s diferrent systems where-in it functions. This can possibly identify and bring to attention the existing support systems within the family’s community. The research methodology of this study is qualitative research within the interpretive paradigm. The researcher made use of two case studies as this research explored a specific phenomenon. Through purposive sampling, four parents of children with dyspraxia was identified as participants. The research question guiding this study explores the personal experiences of the parents regarding their children’s dyspraxia. Individual semi-structured interviews and reflective journals were used as methods of data collection. According to existing literature, parents of children with disorders experience their children’s disorders on an emotional, physical as well as social level. The data analysis have shown that parents of children with dyspraxia also experience their children’s condition on these three levels. From this study, it was concluded that parents’ knowledge of dyspraxia, their living environment, the measure of support and resources available, as well as the number of children in the family are all factors that influence their experiences across the three aforementioned levels. The research provides insight into the parents’ experiences and the importance of adequate support for parents, and should promote general awareness and acknowledgement of dyspraxia as a significant barrier in a child’s development.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Alhoewel dispraksie veral in Suid-Afrika nog ’n betreklik nuwe en onbekende versteuring is, is daar al heelwat navorsing gedoen oor wat dié toestand behels, hoe dit ontstaan, met watter simptome dit gepaardgaan, en die beskikbare hulpbronne om ʼn kind met dispraksie te hanteer. Tog is navorsing oor die emosies, frustrasies en bekommernisse van die ouers van kinders met dispraksie nie ewe geredelik beskikbaar nie. Bronfenbrenner se bio-ekologiese teorie is gebruik, omdat dit die gesin se verskeie sisteme identifiseer waarbinne hulle funksioneer. Sodoende kan moontlike ondersteuning in die gesin se gemeenskap geïdentifiseer en bewerkstellig word. Die navorsingsmetodologie van hierdie studie is kwalitatiewe navorsing binne ʼn interpretatiewe paradigma. ʼn Spesifieke fenomeen is ondersoek en die navorser het gebruik gemaak van twee gevallestudies. Die deelnemers, soos geïdentifiseer deur ʼn doelgerigte steekproef, is vier ouers van kinders met dispraksie. Die navorsingsvraag wat hierdie studie lei handel oor die ouers se ervarings en persoonlike belewings rakende hul kinders se dispraksie. Individuele, semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude, sowel as reflektiewe joernale, is as metodes van data-insameling gebruik. Volgens bestaande literatuur beleef ouers van ʼn kind met ʼn versteuring hul kinders se toestand op ʼn emosionele, fisiese én sosiale vlak. Die data analise het gedui dat ook ouers van kinders met dispraksie hul kinders se toestand op hierdie drie vlakke ervaar. Die studie het ook daarop gedui dat ouers se kennis van dispraksie, die omgewing waar hulle woon, die mate van ondersteuning en hulpbronne waaroor hulle beskik, sowel as die getal kinders in die gesin, alles faktore is wat hul ervarings op voormelde drie vlakke beïnvloed. Die navorsing bied insig in die ouers se ervarings en die noodsaaklikheid van genoegsame ondersteuning vir ouers, en behoort algemene bewustheid en erkenning van dispraksie as ʼn hindernis vir ʼn kind se ontwikkeling te bevorder.

Full textAbstract:
Two preschool males who presented with the characteristics of developmental verbal dyspraxia were enrolled in a phonological cycles intervention approach. Initially, each child's deviant phonological processes were analyzed by the CAPD and target patterns and words selected for remediation. A continuous speech sample was obtained and analyzed to measure intelligibility by percentage and rating on a seven point scale. A time-space probe was developed based on targeted and non-targeted phonemes and administered prior to the first intetvention session. Using the selected targeted patterns and words, an individualized remediation plan was developed, and the phonological process cycling approach used. Each subject participated in 60 minutes of intervention for each targeted pattern to complete the first cycle in approximately 10 weeks. The time-space probes were administered approximately every two weeks.

Full textAbstract:
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaiset fonologiset taidot, epäsanantoistotaidot sekä ymmärtävän ja tuottavan sanaston taso ovat lapsilla, joilla on kehityksellinen verbaali dyspraksia. Verbaalisti dyspraktisten lasten tuloksia verrattiin kielellisesti tyypillisesti kehittyneiden, samaan ikäryhmään kuuluvien lasten vastaaviin tuloksiin.
Tutkimukseen osallistui yhteensä 12, iältään 4;5–5;3-vuotiasta poikaa. Lapsista kuusi oli osa tutkittavien ryhmää. Heille oli annettu kehityksellisen verbaalin dyspraksian diagnoosi tai heidän puheessaan ilmeni huomattavia dyspraktisia vaikeuksia. Loput kuusi poikaa muodostivat tutkimuksen verrokkiryhmän. He olivat kielellisesti tyypillisesti kehittyneistä lapsia. Tutkimusmenetelminä käytettiin Fonologiatestiä (Kunnari, Savinainen-Makkonen & Saaristo-Helin, 2012), suomalaista Epäsanantoistotestiä sekä kahta vielä standardoimatonta ymmärtävän ja tuottavan sanaston tasoa mittavaa testiä (Receptive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test ja Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test) (Martin & Brownell, 2011a, 2011b). Sanastotestit ovat Suomessa vielä tutkimuskäytössä, eikä niihin ole tämän vuoksi vielä saatavilla suomalaisia normeja.
Tutkimustulokset osoittivat, että erot verbaalisti dyspraktisten lasten fonologisissa taidoissa, epäsanantoistotaidoissa sekä ymmärtävän sanaston tasossa olivat merkitsevästi heikompia verrattuna verrokkiryhmän vastaaviin tuloksiin. Verbaalisti dyspraktisilla lapsilla esiintyi puheilmaisuissa runsaasti fonologisia prosesseja, joista substituutiot, omissiot ja assimilaatiot olivat tyypillisimpiä. Tuottavan sanaston taso ei sen sijaan poikennut tilastollisesti merkitsevästi verrokkiryhmän tuottavan sanaston tasosta.
Tutkimustulosten perusteella voidaan päätellä verbaalisti dyspraktisilla lapsilla olevan huomattavia vaikeuksia kielen fonologisella tasolla, joista erityisesti äänteiden yhdistelytaidot näyttäisivät olevan vaikeimpia omaksua. Heikot tulokset Epäsanantoistotestissä luovat olettamuksia auditiivisen havaitsemisen, auditiivisen erottelun sekä fonologisen työmuistin ongelmista. Lisäksi tilastollisesti merkitsevä ero ymmärtävässä kuvasanavarastotestissä tutkittavien ryhmän ja verrokkiryhmän välillä antaa mahdollisuuden olettaa verbaalisti dyspraktisilla lapsilla olevan fonologisten ongelmien lisäksi myös laajempia kielellisiä vaikeuksia. Pienestä tutkimusaineistosta johtuen saatuihin tuloksiin on suhtauduttava varauksellisesti. Tutkimus antoi kuitenkin arvokasta lisätietoa paljon kiistellystä häiriöryhmästä.

Sammanfattning/AbstractElever med språkliga svårigheter utgör en sammansatt och svårdiagnostiserad grupp. En språkstörning får konsekvenser för tankeutveckling, minne, lärande och läsförståelse. Det finns ett behov hos lärare att nå en större medvetenhet och en djupare förståelse för hur funktionsnedsättningen påverkar skolsituationen och vilka arbetsätt och arbetsmetoder, som kan vara motiverande och effektiva för elever med språkstörning.Syftet med studien är att belysa hur lärare till en elev med generell språkstörning och verbal dyspraxi och eleven själv upplever möjligheter och hinder i olika skolsituationer. Studien vill också lyfta fram de faktorer, som anses betydelsefulla för kunskapsutveckling och social gemenskap. •Vilka arbetssätt och arbetsformer upplevs som positiva och motiverande av en elev med språkstörning och verbal dyspraxi?•Hur upplever två lärare sin yrkesroll och användandet av olika arbetssätt och arbetsformer?•Vilka dilemman och hinder visas och i så fall på vilket sätt?Studien grundar sig på ett sociokulturellt perspektiv. Lärandet sker i interaktion med andra människor. Språk och aktivitet är lärandets grund. I ett livsperspektiv har språket och förmågan till kommunikation en djup dimension. Hur man mår, det vill säga känslor och attityder, den egna motivationen och engagemang är enligt eleven viktigt för att lära och utveckla språket. Lärandet i skolan påverkas av den sociala och språkliga miljön. En språkstörning är ett komplicerat samspel mellan individuella svårigheter och de sociala sammanhang som eleven deltar i. Studien är en kvalitativ fallstudie med en hermeneutisk ansats. Undersökningsmaterialet har tagits fram genom en metodtriangulering. Trianguleringen innebär sex observationer av olika lektionstillfällen, sex chattsamtal med en högstadieelev med generell språkstörning och verbal dyspraxi samt sex chattsamtal med två av elevens lärare. Vid observationerna användes ett observationsprotokoll och vid chattsamtalen tre inledningsfrågor, som följdes upp av öppna följdfrågor.Kontexten eller omgivningsfaktorerna, det vill säga den fysiska, sociala och attitydmässiga omgivningen har en avgörande betydelse för hur elever med språk- och talproblem har förutsättningar för att lyckas. En anpassning till den aktuella situationen måste alltid göras. Som lärare gäller det att finna gynnsamma sätt att förebygga de situationer, som är särskilt belastande för eleven. Den egna motivationen och möjlighet till delaktighet är de starkaste drivkrafterna för språklig utveckling. En språklig sårbarhet innebär ett kontinuerligt behov av stöd för att utveckla sin metakognitiva förmåga. De största hindren för att lyckas är ett svagt arbetsminne och att missförstånd lätt uppstår.Om inte språk och kommunikation fungerar, ställs människan utanför samhällets delaktighet och gemenskap. Lärare måste ha en kunskap och en djup förståelse för vilka konsekvenser en språk- och talstörning får i skolsituationen, för att kunna anpassa undervisningen och motverka risken för utanförskap.I arbetet med språkligt sårbara elever är yrkesrollen och relationsarbetet av stor betydelse. Specialläraren ska vara en länk till övriga lärare och stöd och hjälp vid upprättandet av åtgärder på individ-, grupp- och organisationsnivå. En viktig uppgift är att ge omgivningen förståelse för elevens helhetssituation.

Full textAbstract:
Dynamisk motorisk talbedömning (DYMTA) är ett nyutvecklat test för diagnosticering av verbal dyspraxi. Verbal dyspraxi är termen för barn som har en nedsättning i förmågan att viljemässigt programmera motoriken vid talproduktion. Den här studien syftar till att stärka den kliniska användningen av DYMTA genom att bidra till insamlingen av referensdata från typiskt utvecklade barn. Studien tillhör ett större doktorandprojekt där sammanlagt tre magisteruppsatser kommer att bidra till insamlingen av referensdata av barn med typisk tal- och språkutveckling. I föreliggande studie undersöktes 16 barn i åldern 4:0–4:11 och 17 barn i åldern 7:0–8:11 med DYMTA och ett omfattande testbatteri. Resultatet av DYMTA ska sambedömmas med anamnes, hörsel, språkförmåga, fonologi, artikulation, samt oral struktur och funktion. DYMTA är ett verktyg vid bedömning av barnet när logopeden misstänker att någon motorisk komponent påverkar barnets talförmåga. Bakgrundsfaktorerna kön, hereditet, flerspråkighet undersöks om de har en inverkan på prestationen på DYMTA. Vidare undersöks det i studien om det finns ett samband mellan testresultat på DYMTA och övriga test i testbatteriet. Slutligen undersöks talmotoriska utvecklingstrender mellan åldersgrupperna 4:0–4:11 och 7:0–8:11. Inget signifikant samband avseende kön, hereditet, flerspråkighet framkom avseende prestation på DYMTA. Resultatet visade på ett starkt samband mellan fonologisk förmåga, artikulationsförmåga, grammatisk produktionsförmåga och prestation på DYMTA. Utvecklingstrender fanns och åldersgruppen 4:0–4:11 påvisade en större variabilitet i sin talmotorik och hade därför en större resultatspridning inom sin grupp än vad gruppen 7:0–8:11 hade. Resultatet visar även att det är märkbart att åldersgruppen 4:0–4:11 ännu inte har etablerat samtliga fonem. Åldersgruppen 7:0–8:11 har etablerat alla fonem men gruppen har ännu inte utvecklat en fullt vuxenlik talmotorik. Studien bidrar till med utökad kunskap om barns talmotoriska förmåga i de utvalda åldersgrupperna.DYMTA is a newly developed test for differential diagnostics of the speech disorder childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Childhood apraxia of speech is a speech sound disorder involving deficits in planning and/or programming speech movements. This study contributes to the data collection of children with normal speech and language abilities. The aim is to create a reference sample for DYMTA. 16 children in the ages 4:0–4:11 and 17 children in the ages 7:0–8:11 were included in this study. The children were assessed with DYMTA along with several other relevant tests regarding their speech, language and oral motor skills. The test results of DYMTA should be interpreted along with anamnestic data, hearing, language, phonology, articulation and oral structure and function. DYMTA is an assessment tool when the clinician suspects a motor speech disorder. Apart from collecting reference data this study also examines if factors regarding abilities in language, articulation, oral motor control and heredity and bilingualism have an impact on the result of DYMTA. This study describes the development of motor speech skills in the selected age groups. The results in this study show a significant correlation between phonology, articulation, expressive grammar and DYMTA. No statistical significance was found regarding gender, heredity and bilingualism. Developmental motor speech trends were found. The age group 4:0-4:11 displayed a greater variability in motor speech skills than the age group 7:0–8:11 and did not show a fully developed phonology. The group 7:0–8:11 had not yet established an adult like motor speech ability. This study contributes to research in motor speech ability of the selected age groups.

Cette thèse par articles en éducation vise à identifier, d'un point de vue écosystémique, les besoins des enfants ayant un trouble de l'acquisition de la coordination (TAC), afin de favoriser leur participation sociale lors de la scolarisation au primaire. Trois objectifs spécifiques en découlent, soit : 1) proposer un modèle d'évaluation pour identifier d'un point de vue écosystémique les besoins de ces enfants; 2) mettre à l'essai le modèle d'évaluation des besoins; 3) décrire les besoins des enfants au primaire ayant un TAC. Le premier article de la thèse consiste en une recension systématique des études portant sur les interventions neuromaturationnelles (ou bottom up) destinées aux enfants ayant un TAC. Le second présente l'élaboration et la mise à l'essai d'un modèle dévaluation écosystémique des besoins des enfants ayant un TAC. Quant au troisième article, il examine les besoins des enfants ayant un TAC d'un point de vue écosystémique. Il s'agit d'une étude de cas multiples, incluant dix enfants au primaire ayant un TAC et leurs parents (n = 12), enseignants (n = 9) et intervenants significatifs (n = 6). La collecte de données comprend des questionnaires validés, des entrevues semi-structurées et une analyse documentaire. Des analyses intra et inter-cas ont été réalisées. Les résultats décrivent, d'un point de vue écosystémique, les besoins des enfants au primaire ayan un TAC. Ils mettent en évidence le besoin d'offrir de l'information et de la formation sur le TAC, ainsi que des services additionnels à l'école, principalement d'ergothérapie et d'éducation spécialisée. Les résultats servent à identifier les variables pertinentes à inclure dans un programme d'intervantion s'inscrivant dans une démarche fondée sur la théorie du programme. Cette étude offr une compréhension holistique, cohérente et intégrée des besoins des enfants ayant un TAC, ce qui contribuera à favoriser la collaboration entre la famille, l'école et la communauté. Les divers constats en termes de besoins permettent de dégager des pistes pour bonifier l'organisation des services destinés à ces enfants. Afin de bien comprendre leurs besoins et de leur offrir les meilleurs services possibles, il importe de renforcer le partenariat entre la recherche, la formation et la pratique.

Full textAbstract:
Notre but de comprendre les mécanismes constitutifs de la déficience intellectuelle et de la dyspraxie verbale, deux pathologies qui affectent les performances aux tests psychométriques. Nous avons sélectionné plusieurs processus pouvant contribuer à l’explication de ces troubles : la vitesse de traitement de l’information et la mémoire travail pour la déficience intellectuelle ; et l’apprentissage procédural pour la dyspraxie verbale. Dans une première étude, nous avons montré que dans la population « tout venant » d’enfants non déficients, la vitesse de traitement augmente avec l’âge. Notre seconde expérience a montré que des patients déficients intellectuels avaient la même vitesse de traitement que des enfants plus jeunes appariés sur l’âge mental. Par ailleurs, nous avons montré que ce ralentissement est similaire dans le syndrome de l’X-Fragile et dans la Trisomie 21. Inversement, la vitesse de traitement des enfants dyspraxiques verbaux est préservée. Ces résultats viennent discuter les deux modèles théoriques de l’intelligence que nous avons choisis comme référence, le modèle en cascade de Fry & Hale (1996) et le modèle d’Anderson (1992). Dans le second volet de nos recherches, nous avons mis en évidence un apprentissage procédural implicite comparable dans deux groupes d’enfants d’âges chronologiques différents malgré des temps de réaction plus importants chez les plus jeunes. La seconde étude montre une préservation de l’apprentissage procédural implicite dans le syndrome de l’X-Fragile et une altération spécifique dans la Trisomie 21. Cela démontre que ce processus est indépendant du QI et varie selon les syndromes. Notre dernière étude montre un trouble important de l’apprentissage procédural implicite dans la dyspraxie verbale, confortant notre hypothèse de départ. L’ensemble de ces résultats est discuté au regard des travaux antérieurs et des modèles théoriques afin de proposer des ouvertures tant théoriques que cliniquesOur aim is to understand previous process in mental retardation and childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). There are both neurodevelopmental disorders which affect psychometric assessment. We have selected several processes which could explain these disorders such has speed of information processing, working memory for mental retardation and implicit procedural learning for childhood apraxia of speech. In our first study, we have demonstrated within two groups of typical children without disorders that speed of processing increased with chronological age. In the second study, our results have demonstrated the same speed of processing between a group with mental retardation and with mental age matched control group. Moreover, Down and Fragile X syndrome have the same speed of information processing. On the contrary, in our third study, children with CAS and chronological age matched control group have the same speed as process visual information. All results are important to discuss both theories of intelligence we have chosen: the cascade model (Fry and Hall, 1990) and the minimal cognitive architecture (Anderson, 1992). In the second experimental part, our first results have shown a different reaction time between the two groups of young children but both have learned the sequence in a serial reaction time task (implicit procedural learning test). The second study have demonstrated preserved implicit learning in Fragile X but altered learning in Down syndrome. The difference between to these two genetics syndromes is a proof of implicit sequence learning is independent of IQ. The latest results have shown severe implicit procedural learning impairment in CAS. We conclude that this is the cause of CAS.Our discussion is about all results and links between intelligence and disorders with regard to previous studies.

Läroplanen genomsyras av The big five, de fem förmågorna (Skolverket, 2011). Analysförmågan innebär att eleven ska beskriva orsaker, konsekvenser och lösningar. Den kommunikativa förmågan ställer krav på att samtala, diskutera och motivera och den metakognitiva förmågan innebär att tolka, värdera och reflektera. Procedurförmågan innebär att söka, samla och strukturera och slutligen den begreppsliga förmågan som betyder att eleven ska förstå innebörden av begrepp, relatera dem till varandra och använda dem i olika sammanhang. Att ha ett fungerande språk är av stor vikt för att klara skolans krav och drabbar elever med diagnosen språkstörning. Uppgifterna om hur många som har diagnosen språkstörning varierar men ca 5-8 % av förskolebarnen har språkstörning (Hartelius et al, 2008). Undervisningen skall anpassas efter varje elevs behov och skolan har som uppgift att ge eleverna möjlighet att utifrån sina egna förutsättningar utvecklas så långt det är möjligt (SFS 2010: 800). Språkstörning visar sig trots den förhållandevis höga prevalensen vara en diagnos som pedagogerna saknar kunskap kring. Dessutom är andelen logopeder som kan handleda dessa pedagoger i skolorna låg. Den kommande rollen som speciallärare innebär bl.a. att utforma det förebyggande arbetet och bidra till att undanröja språkliga hinder för elever med språkstörning. En viktig roll är också att föra elevens och även vårdnadshavarens talan och visa på vilka rättigheter och skyldigheter de har, att klargöra undervisningens mål, innehåll och utformning samt deras rätt till inflytande i skolans arbete (Skolverket, 2011). Att vara vårdnadshavare till ett barn med en funktionsnedsättning kan innebära olika påfrestningar. Det handlar även om att ha möjlighet att lägga extra tid och arbetsinsatser för att träna och stötta sitt barn både socialt och kunskapsmässigt. Men även kontakter t.ex. med skolan och logoped tar tid i anspråk. Den här undersökningen syftar till att synliggöra dessa föräldrars situation och deras arbetsinsatser och på så vis bidra till en ökad förståelse och ett förbättrat bemötande. Att ha insikt om och förståelse för dessa vårdnadshavares situation är av stor vikt för alla som arbetar med barn och ungdomar.

Notre recherche vise à proposer des moyens d'enseigner la géométrie plane élémentaire aux élèves dyspraxiques, lors de la transition CM2-6ème, autrement qu'en leur faisant exécuter des constructions instrumentées, car leurs difficultés manipulatoires et organisationnelles empêchent tout apprentissage géométrique. À partir de l'approche instrumentale en ergonomie cognitive et du développement du geste en neuropsychologie, mais aussi à partir d'observations d'élèves dyspraxiques, nous avons élaboré un cadre théorique d'analyse du processus d'accès à la géométrie par la construction instrumentée. Il permet de dissocier ce qui, dans l'action instrumentée, est en lien avec des connaissances géométriques de ce qui ne l'est pas. Nous l'avons complété par des outils d'analyse du langage et des gestes activés lors de constructions géométriques réalisées en dyade, ainsi que par des outils d'analyse des aides susceptibles d'être données à un élève dyspraxique. Avec ce cadre, nos analyses de la prise en compte de l'élève dyspraxique en classe donnent des points d'appui pour l'expérimentation menée hors classe avec deux élèves, dont une dyspraxique. Les excellents résultats à l'issue de l'expérimentation nous permettent d'envisager des pistes pour concevoir des modalités d'accueil en classe, instaurant des conditions d'apprentissages géométriques pour un élève dyspraxique. Par ailleurs, l'étude nous conduit à remettre en cause la doxa qui fait de la construction instrumentée décrite par un langage géométrique déconnecté des instruments la voie privilégiée en 6ème pour l'apprentissage de la géométrie. Elle débouche aussi sur la mise en évidence d'apprentissages cachés en géométrieThe aim of our study is to provide a method for teaching elementary plane geometry to dyspraxic fifth and sixth-grade pupils other than making them produce geometric constructions using instruments, because their lack of organisational and fine motor skills prevent them from learning in this way. Based on the instrumental approach of cognitive ergonomics, motor developnnent from neurophysiology and our own observations of dyspraxic pupils, we developed a theoretical framework for analysing the process of learning geometry via construction with geometric instruments. This enables us to separate geometric knowledge from practical skills during the construction process. We then added tools for analysing language and movement activated during geometric constructions created in a pairs setting as well as tools for analysing aids likely to be given to a dyspraxic pupil. Using this framework, we analysed how the dyspraxic pupil is catered for in class, to provide a basis for experimenting with two pupils, one of whom is dyspraxic, outside the classroom. The excellent results obtained pave the way for developing strategies for including dyspraxic pupils in class by creating appropriate conditions to enable them to learn geometry. Moreover, the study leads us to challenge the accepted consensus that construction with geometric instruments described by a geometric language disconnected from the instruments is the best approach for learning geometry in the 5th grade. The study also identifies hidden aspects of learning in geometry

ABSTRACT The purpose of the current study was to compare speech samples elicited with four different methods regarding speech sound production errors. Nine Swedish-speaking children with SSD (Speech Sound Disorder) participated. A new method of speech elicitation was introduced, a narrative task using a silent short film as a prompt. Severity of involvement of the speech sound production was measured using PCC-R (Percentage of Consonants Correct-Revised), as well as a new severity metric, PSC (Percentage of Syllables Correct). Speech error patterns were also analyzed. All four methods of speech elicitation are suggested to be useful clinical tools for phonological assessment. The elicitation methods yielded similar results. However, the results indicated that a higher degree of control and phonological complexity in a task generally yield lower severity measures and more types of speech error patterns. The definition of SSD used in this study includes several clinical diagnoses used by speech and language pathologists. The participants’ results were therefore analyzed regarding clinical diagnosis. No difference was found. This first evaluation of PSC shows that it is a promising new severity metric, and that its strength lies first and foremost in the possibility to include unintelligible speech. The evaluation of the new elicitation task shows that narration of a silent short film as a prompt is promising as well. The results yielded indicate a gain in degree of control combined with a preserved high ecological validity associated with speech elicitation methods yielding conversational speech. SAMMANFATTNING Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka variation av avvikelser i språkljudsproduktionen hos nio svensktalande barn med språkljudsstörning vid fyra olika taluppgifter. En av de fyra uppgifterna innefattade en ny eliciteringsstrategi: berättande till ljudlös film. Grad av avvikelse undersöktes genom beräkning av PCC-R (Percentage of Consonants Correct-Revised), samt ett nytt mått, PSC (Percentage of Syllables Correct). Även avvikelsetyper undersöktes. Resultatet tyder på att samtliga undersökta taluppgifter kan vara användbara kliniska verktyg. Även om ingen skillnad kunde påvisas mellan deltagarnas grad av avvikelse vid de fyra taluppgifterna, sågs en tendens till att en hög styrningsgrad och fonologisk komplexitet av målorden ger upphov till en lägre träffsäkerhet i språkljudsproduktionen och ökar antalet olika avvikelsetyper som förekommer. Definitionen av språkljudsstörning inkluderar olika logopediska diagnoser. I denna studie kunde barnens diagnostillhörighet inte förklara variationer i resultaten. Den första utvärderingen av PSC visar att det är ett lovande nytt mått på träffsäkerhet i språkljudsproduktionen, och att dess styrka framför allt ligger i möjligheten att inkludera oförståeligt tal. Även denna första utvärdering av den nya eliciteringsmetoden berättande till ljudlös film är lovande. Resultaten tyder på en högre styrningsgrad samtidigt som den ekologiska validiteten i sammanhängande tal till stor del bibehållits.

Ce travail exploratoire porte sur l'élaboration d'une échelle de repérage du Trouble de l'Acquisition des Coordinations (TAC) à destination des enseignants d'école maternelle pour des élèves de 5 ans en classe de Grande Section (GS).Les enfants TAC font l'objet de repérage et de dépistage tardifs ce qui a des conséquences lourdes dans les domaines émotionnel, social et scolaire pour eux-mêmes et leur famille. Un repérage précoce doit permettre la pose d'un diagnostic dès l'entrée à l'école élémentaire afin que des prises en charge s'organisent rapidement. Le modèle théorique de réponse à l'item, le modèle de Rasch employé, a permis d'élaborer une échelle d'intensité à 22 items, ajustée aux critères diagnostics de la dyspraxie développementale et des activités menées en maternelle : L'échelle d'adaptation à la viescolaire. Dans une première étude, cette échelle administrée à 144 sujets de 3 ans 2 mois à 9 ans 2 mois (répartis en 4 groupes à profil spécifique : en difficulté scolaire, en situation de handicap, avec TAC, avec TED) montre qu'elle est sensible aux effets de développement et qu'elle discrimine sur un unique trait latent le groupe des enfants TAC.L'échelle administrée à un second groupe de 185 enfants ordinaires de 3 ans 5 mois à 6 ans, montre un effet des variables " sexe " et " classe " pour les garçons. Cette seconde étude permet d'avancer un score seuil pour le dépistage et un autre pour l'aide en classe. Les tests statistiques mettent en évidence la fidélité et la validité de l'échelle. Des travaux complémentaires sont envisagés et des pistes d'évolution de l'échelle sont proposées. Deux DVD d'informations portant sur les BEP et sur les TAC, incluant l'échelle de repérage à destination des enseignants (utilisateurs de l'échelle) sont également élaborés.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur en grupp typiskt utvecklade, svenska barn, i åldrarna fyra till tio år presterar på tre deltest i VMPAC, för att därmed skapa ett underlag för en referens för svenska barn i bedömningen av avvikande utveckling. Studiens frågeställningar är: 1. Hur presterar en grupp typiskt utvecklade, svenska barn, i åldrarna fyra till tio år, på tre deltest i VMPAC (Focal Oromotor Control, Sequencing Maintenance Control och Connected Speech and Language Control)? och 2. Förekommer det några skillnader mellan en grupp typiskt utvecklade, svenska barn, jämfört med den amerikanska normeringen i VMPAC och barn med verbal dyspraxi (CAS) undersökta inom ramen för en magisteruppsats (Björelius-Hort, 2009)? Oral- och talmotorisk förmåga hos 23 svenska barn i åldrarna fyra till tio år, som åldersmatchats mot barn med verbal dyspraxi (Björelius-Hort, 2009), testades med deltest två, tre och fyra ur VMPAC. Prövning av inter- och intrabedömarreliabiltet visade statistiskt signifikanta resultat, r =. 923 respektive r =. 913, med p <. 001 i båda fallen. Utifrån resultatet kan följande slutsatser dras: 1. att de studerade barnen, generellt presterade över 80 % på deltest två, tre och fyra i VMPAC, oavsett ålder, 2. att skillnaderna mellan den amerikanska normeringen i VMPAC och studiens deltagare är små och 3. att barnen med verbal dyspraxi generellt presterar sämre än den studerade gruppen på samtliga deltest.
The study investigates speech and oral motor skills in typically developed children at different ages. The results are intended to serve as a basis for future reference in the assessment of atypical development in Swedish children. The questions addressed within the study are: 1. How does a group of typically developed, Swedish children, in the ages four to ten years, perform on three subtests in VMPAC (Focal Oromotor Control, Sequencing Maintenance Control and Connected Speech and Language Control)? and 2. Are there any differences in performance between a group of typically developed, Swedish children, and the American standardization in VMPAC and also with the children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) from the study by Björelius-Hort (2009)? Speech and oral motor abilities were assessed using subtests two, three and four in VMPAC. The participants were 23 Swedish children, aged four to ten years old, who had been age-matched based on the children with CAS from the study by Björelius-Hort (2009). Inter- and intra-rater reliability showed statistically significant results, r =. 923 and r =. 913, with p <. 001, in both cases. From the results of the study the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. that the investigated group of children in general performed over 80 % on subtests two, three and four in VMPAC independent of age, 2. that the differences between the American standardization in VMPAC and the participants in this study were almost nonexistent and 3. that children with CAS in general performed poorer than the investigated group of children in all subtests.

Le Trouble Développemental de la Coordination (TDC) se caractérise par une altération des habiletés motrices. Si le déficit du contrôle moteur est univoque, les études testant un déficit d'apprentissage procédural moteur restent peu nombreuses et aboutissent à des résultats divergents. L'objectif principal de ce travail est de mettre en évidence les conditions dans lesquelles les enfants présentant un TDC manifestent ou non un déficit d'apprentissage procédural et de la mémoire procédurale. Quatre études ont été menées pour comparer l'apprentissage procédural moteur d'enfants présentant un TDC et d'enfants contrôles. Nous avons testé des tâches comportementales d'apprentissage variées telles que l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle coordination bimanuelle, l'apprentissage de séquences perceptivo-motrices et l'apprentissage de séquences motrices rythmiques dans différentes conditions. Nous avons investigué les corrélats cérébraux fonctionnels et structurels associés, en utilisant l'électroencéphalographie ou l'imagerie par résonance magnétique. Les résultats indiquent des différences comportementales et cérébrales lors de tâches d'apprentissage, révélées par des variables spécifiques. De plus, certaines conditions expérimentales ont amélioré l'apprentissage procédural et la mémoire procédurale des enfants présentant un TDC. Ces résultats amènent à penser que les conditions favorisant l'apprentissage et la mémoire procédurale des enfants présentant un TDC pourraient contribuer à une meilleure prise en chargeDevelopmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is characterized by impaired motor skills. While the motor control deficit is unambiguous, studies testing motor procedural learning are few and lead to contradictory results. The main objective of this work is to understand the conditions under which children with DCD demonstrate a procedural learning and procedural memory deficits. Four studies were conducted to compare the motor procedural learning of children with and without DCD. We tested various learning behavioural tasks such as learning a new bimanual coordination, learning perceptual-motor sequences and learning rhythmic motor sequences in different conditions. We investigated the associated functional and structural brain correlates, using electroencephalography and magnetic resonance imaging. The results indicate some behavioural and brain differences during learning tasks, revealed by specific variables. In addition, some experimental conditions have improved the procedural learning and procedural memory of children with DCD. These results suggest that conditions in which procedural learning and memory of children with DCD are improved could contribute to better therapeutic interventions

Before the school age, children face precisely a crucial phase of whom various aspects of their body develop. If the stimulation at this stage is not enough, it may possibly affect the children’s normal psychology development and lead to a doubtful development backward phenomenon. Due to children’s possibly home environment and the lack of living space stimulation, the development speed of their big muscles may induce in a way that is not expected. Thus, aiming at the aspect of children’s big muscles development, we had conducted this study with a purpose to discuss with a certain senior private kindergarten children in Kaohsiung City, whether the participation in physical activities was able to improve the doubtful motor ability insufficiency of children significantly. This study took a research construction of quantitative methodology as a primarily concern, and qualitative methodology as auxiliary. The former adopted an experimental design of single group pretest-posttest design, and the latter a semi-structural interview pattern. A 25-child senior class from a certain Kaohsiung City’s private kindergarten was selected as the experiment subject. The experimental study started on the first week opening of the school as the pretest; and the school performing physical activities on the fourth and eighth weeks as the first posttest and the second posttest, respectively, and by which we began to pay attention and performed the Denver Developmental Materials Screening Test (Denver II in short). The researchers took the experimental research data and used the dependent sample t test to understand the children’s attention situation and then described statistically to understand the children’s motor appraisal in passing though a percentage rating. The study had discovered the following situations: 1. The attention test performance situation: On vigilance attention aspect, when the Impact of Intervention of Motor Skills Program had gone through the eighth week, the children’s vigilance attention responding time (expressed in second) had improved remarkably. On selective attention aspect, when the Impact of Intervention of Motor Skills Program had gone through the eighth week, the children’s selective attention responding time (expressed in second) had improved remarkably. 2. The appraisal result of Denver II: On single leg hopping aspect, when the curriculum had gone through the eighth week, children who did not pass the single leg hopping test had already possessed that skill. When the single leg balancing curriculum had gone through the eighth week, children who did not pass the single leg balancing test had already possessed that skill. In regard to the children’s single leg hopping category, when the curriculum had gone through the eighth week, children who did not pass the heel-toe forward walking test had already possessed that skill. Using the inference of these research findings, we proceeded to carry out the semi-structured interview and conformed to a research result. The children’s household type mostly belongs to apartment or building, and though there are activity premises in their neighborhood but the children are given little chance to go out to exercise. Although there are many physical curriculums for the senior kindergarten children but they are unable to provide beneficial motor development for the children. If we are able to plan the curriculums systematically, we are then able to help the children to improve their motor ability. In additional, through the attention test, we discovered that the children’s concentration aspect changes upon the intervention of curriculum time. The longer the intervention of curriculum, the higher vigilance and concentration the children were able to display altogether. Through this thesis, we hopefully suggest preschool education teachers to offer children with the opportunity to try, besides arranging them with curriculums. It would certainly be of good help to improve the children’s future learning and concentration abilities.

In its theoretical part I'm focusing at first on the term disturbed communication ability, development dysphasia, its symptomatology and then at the term verbal development dyspraxia. Important information concerning this dilemma are also listed in second chapter which focuses on the problem of reading, process of mastering of reading and writing with understanding. The third chapter of the theoretical part is focusing on characteristics of terms as movement, motoric acts, coordination and also dyspraxia. I based the practical part on testing of children of the third grade at usual basic school as well as at the basic logopaedia school, which is attended also by the school-girl with serious development dysphasia I've been observing and monitoring.

Developmental Dyspraxia and Sensory Modulation Dysfunction are Sensory Integration Disorders that are widely known to occupational therapists practicing in the paediatric occupational therapy field. These disorders have been the subject of numerous research studies that have managed to clarify and explain relations of these disorders with sensory processing as well as their prevalence in different diagnostic groups. Such a clarified relationship is between Developmental Dyspraxia and Sensory Discrimination, while Sensory Modulation Dysfunction is reported to occur in various diagnostic groups. Developments over the past decade in the field of Sensory Integration proposed that Developmental Dyspraxia and Sensory Modulation Dysfunction be regarded as two patterns of a Sensory Processing Disorder and suggested that these two disorder patterns occurred concomitantly. Clinical experience, however, resulted in the researcher questioning the above proposed concomitant relationship and hypothesised that there was a specific relation between Developmental Dyspraxia and Sensory Responsivity (Sensory Modulation Dysfunction). This study was directed at investigating the relationship between Developmental Dyspraxia and Sensory Responsivity. A review of the literature that described these two disorder patterns yielded reference to theories that underpin Developmental Dyspraxia and Sensory Responsivity. From these theories it was possible to identify some common ground between Developmental dyspraxia and Sensory Responsivity that could potentially support a relation. The Sensory Profile, Sensory Profile School Companion and the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests were used to assess and identify Developmental Dyspraxia and Sensory Responsivity. Obtained data were statistically analysed and compared and did not produce a statistically significant positive relation between Developmental Dyspraxia and Sensory Responsivity, but yielded some weak correlations in supplementary analysis. These weak correlations have value in terms of sensory responsiveness tendencies in the presence of types of dyspraxia. Clinical analyses of the data set were performed to examine the incidence of types of dyspraxia in the sample with sensory over- or under responsiveness. These analyses demonstrated a greater presence of Developmental Dyspraxia in the population with Sensory Under-responsivity. The clinical analyses provided the researcher with additional information that was taken into account when conclusions were made. It also contributed to the recommendations that were made at the end of Chapter 5. Discussion of results was directed at explaining correlations and interpreting the implications of those correlations. A discussion of possible problems included considering possible flaws in the method and procedure that could have contributed to the research outcome. Recommendations were directed at proposals for future research and recommendations for clinical practice. CopyrightDissertation (MOccTher)--University of Pretoria, 2010.
