Speech and Language Disorders

Communication is very crucial in life, especially in education. Whether it be delivering a message or receiving information, without the ability to communicate learning can be extremely difficult. Students with speech and language disorders may have "trouble producing speech sounds, using spoken language to communicate, or understanding what other people say" (Turkington, p10, 2003) Each of these problems can create major setbacks in the classroom. Articulation, expression and reception are all essential components for communication. If a student has an issue with articulation, they most likely then have difficulty speaking clearly and at a normal rate (Turkington, 2003). When they produce words, they...show more content...

With the already high–impact pressures that are put on students in education these days, difficulties in speech and language only escalate their stress. Due to the progress made in technology though, several of these children can adapt to their educational environments smoothly and without concern.

Assistive Technology for Speech and Language Disorders

Speech and language disorders, as with any learning disability, can cause embarrassment and social hindrance for students along with the educational setbacks. Unfortunately there is yet to be a cure discovered, but luckily there are many ways in which individuals with learning disabilities can seek treatment and aide. For example a child could receive therapy from a speech pathologist to help them articulate more clearly. There is also assistive technology available for all types of disorders. Assistive technology can help motivate students to overcome the barriers in learning that they face by compensating in the area that they lack. When choosing which type of device that a student should use, it is very important that it is one that will accommodate to the specific disability of the student (Fleming, 1999). For individuals with speech and language disorders, either an electronic communication device or a personal FM listening system would be appropriate. An electronic communication device allows one to type their ideas into a machine so they

"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." I can hear one of my grandmother's highly regarded quotes resonating inside my head. Apprehension consumed me when I entered college as an undecided major. Unexpectedly that all changed a few weeks into my first semester. My grandmother had a stroke which ultimately affected her speech and was in dire need of a Speech Pathologist. This is what initially sparked my interest in this field. I was determined on working with the geriatric population because of the experience and attachment I endured with my grandmother. However, the irrefutable fact that this is my passion became evident when I started working as an Assistant Teacher at Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech. At Clarke I currently...show more content...

While I am learning an abundance of valuable information at Clarke, my background knowledge derived from my undergraduate studies. I double majored in Speech Pathology and Psychology at Brooklyn College because I believe they compliment each other well when it comes to the studies of speech. Different aspects of Psychology including cognitive science, neuroscience, and biology are essential in understanding speech disorders, language processing, production, acquisition, and comprehension. In my second year at Brooklyn College, I observed children at a nearby elementary school for 50 hours. During this time I observed how children at the kindergarten level interacted with each other. I shadowed the teacher in order to learn different teaching strategies that will be beneficial and applicable as a Speech Therapist. The opportunity to observe the work overview of a Speech Pathologist, has tremendously solidified my interest in this field. At the Diana Rogovin Speech Center at Brooklyn College, I observed clients of various ages with different speech language disorders including articulation, language, voice, fluency and accent modification. Observing clinicians at the speech center gave me the opportunity to learn how important client–clinician interaction is for the session and how essential it is to build a good relationship with the client. Although I learned the

Speech to Explain: Self Evaluation

For this speech I choose to have my topic be something I have a strong personal connection to which was Rave culture, its history and practices. Choosing this to be my topic of choice I was able to be motivated in researching it and I believe my genuine interest in the topic showed in my presentation. In this self–eval I will be discussing the structure and style along with what I am taking away from this speech. First, I will be talking about the structure of my speech. When doing a speech to explain, like any other speech it's important to have a clear and organized pattern. Essentially when creating my outline for the speech I had made sure to have a clear and engaging intro and hook, meant to clearly state my theme and then jump into the topic. Unfortunately when presenting the speech I was unable to present my introduction as I would have liked and forgot to even mention my theme. I was not very effective in my introduction but knowing so at my conclusion I was sure to clearly state my theme. However,I believe my concluding sentence could have been more clear. To improve I should in the future reinstate my topics and go over key points and leave the audience with psychological closure rather than abruptly saying "that was all, thank you".

I felt that it would have been beneficial for me to use more visual aids in presenting my topic. Rather than just talking about my topic and the music, I feel that if I showed some actual footage

Out of class speech Critique The speech that I attended and will be writing about is a campaign speech that Devaughn Williams gave while running for president of Phi Delta Theta Ohio Gamma chapter here at Ohio University. The audience was consisted of initiated members of Phi Delta Theta around 40 members were in attendance for the speech, for the elections, this was a formal event that the nominees and audience members dressed up for and at the end of each speech there was a Q&A session between the audience and the Canadettes. There were 3 people that were running for president. During his speech I noticed that he complemented the current president before he talked about what he would do differently giving the current president the respect that he earned during his term which gave him credibility and connected with us in the audience. During the body of his speech Devaughn talked about the former position that he had which was the recruitment chair. He then listed the accomplishments that he achieved during his term as recruitment chair. He transitioned from that by talking about what he would hope to achieve as acting president of Phi Delta Theta, his main points were about expanding popularity and continued growth of the fraternity, making sure we have good relationships with all other Greek life on campus here at Ohio University. And having fun and respecting all the rules and regulations set by Phi Delta Theta headquarters along with the IFC board which is the

My Self-Evaluation Of Speech

This paper will discuss mine self–evaluation and do into detail about my first speech. My first speech takes place in front of my class and I have to tell a story of an experience that has happened to me. Telling a speech was a new experience for me and I embrace the challenge. A speech can have an impact on a person life and the audience can also relate a topic that is being presented. I will explore and go into the details of ethos, pathos and logos of my speech for my personal assessment. I think I did a good job presenting my ethos through my speech story. I convince my audience with my credibility through my speech and the way how talk throughout the speech. For example, throughout my whole speech, I shown my hands and did not hide my hands. By keeping my hands in plain view, it shows my audience nonverbally that I can be trusted. The volume of my voice was at a normal speaking tone and was not too low. Most of my audience was able to hear me and listen to me very clearly. I also presented myself with confidence and gave off the impression that I was prepared. For example, I had a smile and had constant eye contact with my audience throughout my speech. There was certain things that I was doing that was ineffective while I was talking. Throughout my speech, I kept saying um and was pausing at times. I did not realize how much I was saying and doing these actions. These actions are something I need to work on more when I present my public communication to my audience Get

The Power of Speech Speech is a powerful tool, if used correctly. Speech can do many things, but there are two main things that speech is the best at. It can create and embellish as it pleases. Well–spoken words can also twist the truth and manipulate. Richard the Third is an excellent example of both these attributes. Richard uses the power of speech to gain what he wants. He shows the success that this tool can bring if used carefully. Richard makes himself a saint, a simple disabled innocent who is wronged by everyone. He also shows the failures it brings when overconfidence and haste spoil it. He loses his charm as he no longer treads carefully and simply drives his way through conversations. Richard is a good example of the power of speech as he uses his persuasion to accomplish his goals. From the very beginning, Richard is shown as being a highly persuasive individual. He is very careful to show himself as one who only speaks sweet words making him a very compelling character. He flatters his way to his goals and pulls the wool over everyone's eyes as he does so. There are several scenes throughout the play where Richard has done this. In his attempt to woo Lady Anne, Richard is speaking to the enraged woman, noting on that it is "wonderful when angels are so angry" (1.2.72). Richard's response to this seething rage is to create a beautiful angry angel of her. Another attempt at this flattery is made when he responds that "your [Lady Anne's] bedchamber" would be

Examples Of Opening Speech

Opening speech (Formal opening) Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, thanks everyone for being here today at this important conference. We are honored to be the first speakers here. Before I begin, I would like to complement this institution on its efforts to create a sustainable environment. (Hook) Let me tell you a story, in 1878, Paris hosted the first International Exposition of Electricity, as part of the World Fair hosted at that city the same year. The city was lively with excitement, as great inventors and innovators from around the world came to exhibit their ideas–Ideas that would drive a new era of human development. (Hook continued, used later as reference) New technology such as the telephone, and photography was displayed. However, the star of the show was undoubtedly Thomas Edison. Who in Paris displayed his electric light bulb. Electric lighting bulbs had been installed all along the Avenue de l'Opera and the Place de l'Opera. When the electric switched was flipped, light flooded the streets of Paris and France stepped into the age of electric energy. People were happy to embrace electrification and wanted electrification, but electricity was extremely expensive. At the beginning only the very rich could afford access.

OUTLINE

General purpose: To inform Speech Goal: I would like to give everybody an insight on Tiger Wood's life. I will talk about his early childhood, golf career, and the scandal that became his downfall.

INTRODUCTION

Who in your opinion is the most dominant well–known figure in professional sports? This is up for debate to many of us as we all have different likes or interests. But there is one individual who was destined for stardom and was in the spotlight at a very early age.

He is arguably the one individual in our lifetime that transformed his sport. With his presence, the sport ofgolf became popular and was no longer a ratings buster on television, and became a sport more young kids wanted to get involved in....show more content...

B. His dad saw that he had an interest in golf at a very early age and designated him as "The Chosen One" (Callahan 23). 1. When Tiger was a toddler, his dad would put him in his high chair while he would hit golf balls in the basement. He noticed Tiger watching every move he made. Soon enough, Tiger was mimicking his dad's golf swing and Earl Woods became amazed at what Tiger could do with a golf club by the age of 2. 2. Tiger became noticed by the world at the ripe old age of two yrs. old when he appeared on the Mike Douglas show. He was featured in Golf Digest at the age of 5 and began winning junior tournaments with kids four to five years older than him at the age of 8 (Londino 23). 3. He had a close relationship with his father and it is well documented that Tiger got his mental toughness through him. His dad use makes all kinds of noises while Tiger would attempt to practice. This left Tiger with two choices: He could block out the distraction or lose his composure. 4. At age 15 Woods became the youngest ever U.S. Junior Amateur champion. He defended the title in 1992 and

T.S. Eliot once wrote, "What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from." Every landmark in our lives will end but there is always a beginning to an end. As each new path ends a new one begins. Graduation marks the end of a path but as it ends a new path begins.

Life is an adventure. We started out by walking on a winding path as we entered the destination of kindergarten. As our lives ventured on down the winding path, we met new friends and new life experiences along the way. As the path widens, we see ourselves on a countryroad. We started elementary school and we constantly gained new knowledge to help us progress in our journey. As we continued along in our...show more content...

As the paved path merged, we found ourselves no longer walking, but driving in cars on the highway in high school. Life started to get more challenging and things started to move at a faster pace. In this part of our lives we got to choose which way we wanted to go, left or right. We found hardships up the steep hills and we might have stopped at many intersections. However, we always proceeded with the flow of traffic no matter what obstacle gets in our way, we always managed to get through it. As our lives traveled on the highway, we saw others take different roads along our journey, but we always found ourselves choosing to keep with our commitment of continuing. We all had to make pit stops along the way through homework and projects, but it fueled us to get stronger and helped us gain knowledge to make it up those steep hills and intersections. Finally, when graduation comes, the highway ends and merges to a new beginning as we leave our memories in the past in our rearview mirror. Miles and miles of opportunities await us. However, each one of us has a different goal or route in life, and each of us will find different exits along the way to fulfill our dream. Some of us will take the express lanes and continue our education through college. Some of us might follow the freeway not knowing where fate will take us. Life isn't always easy on the freeway. Some of us might get stuck in traffic jams. Some

I believe our college is like a tree; we are all different parts of this tree, for example – The teachers are like the roots, which supplement us with knowledge and help us to grow. If I was Head Girl, I would be like the manure which the gardener spreads to enrich the ground, just that little added extra can make a big difference. I realise that, being Head Girl isn't about being better than anyone else. It's about having the trust of the student body to organise and represent them with honesty and enthusiasm, whenever called upon. I have the compassion to listen, the ability to always work hard, yet have a good sense of humour. So don't vote for me just because of my good looks and charming demeanour, although you might be tempted to do that. Vote for me because you have excellent taste and superb decision making skills!

We as people face War and Disease everyday. So this means that everyday we all have something that is worth fighting for. Cancer is the war we face in our present times. Despite the fact that our people die to such disease, we spend more money for our own medical issues and needs. Even though Cancer is one of the leading causes of death within our nation, we strive everyday because everyone has something to live for. We should stand up to put an end to our pain and suffering. No one should walk miserable or mourn no more. According to research and theory it is proven that there are treatments for cancer as the war continues to move forward. Cancer is a problem that needs a solution.

Everyday on the news we hear of people dying from or over certain causes. With more than half our population dying downwards, the struggle for the people becomes very rough. We challenge cancer at the moments it strikes us down. Dr Martin Luther king Jr quoted " The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at a time of challenge and controversy". From donations and fundraisers , we give more money to help the weak and ill so that they could live longer. It is our duty to make sure the people get the help they deserve. It is our responsibility to make sure that we are doing the right thing in aiding the patient as if we are their nurse or doctor. Our job is to keep our society equivalent.

(confidently) Well, the first thing we to do is this. Australians need to be beyond the two–party dominated political system and instead, consider smaller parties such as The Greens, who have a genuine interest in doing what we want in a "grassroots democracy" system. The political system right now is a constant battle between the Labor and the Liberals, fighting out to see who can reveal more flaws within each other instead of focusing on the real issues. A recent example is the $60,000 spent by the Labor party on an "election image makeover" for Bill Shorten and his wife for last years election campaign. Their defence? Their glossy advertisements turned out "a hundred times" better than the Liberal party's and mirrored their "high–quality campaign". We're in a $500 billion dollar debt dump, increasing at a rate of over $500 dollars per second, and they go and spend $60,00 on advertising themselves...

During speech class this semester, I gave several different types of speeches on several different topics. During this semester, my ability to give speeches in front of an audience has improved quite a bit, I hope. Going into the semester, I had a really hard time giving speeches to people, but now that speech is almost over I feel like I am more capable of doing so. I think the thing I did best during the semester was getting good information for each of my speeches. My favorite assignment was most likely the impromptu speech. I really liked that one because we did not have to prepare an outline or anything like that, we just got to go up there and speak. During this semester, I learned a lot about how to give speeches such as the proper way to stand so I do not rock, or how to use my hands to emphasize my points. In the future, I think that I will be able to control my speed better during my speeches which will help the people I am presenting to understand my message. I think the skills I have acquired during speech will help me for the rest of my life. No matter what career I choose, I am sure that at some point I will have to present to someone about something. The skills I learned in speech will also help me just communicate with people in a one on one situation easier than I do now. I can use these skills throughout the rest of high school and through my six years of college still to come because whenever I have to present a project I will know how to effectively communicate my message to my audience. Based off of all of my reflection sheets, video evaluations, and peer critiques I have improved over the course of the semester. At the beginning of the semester I had a problem with speed and using to many "filler" words. As the year progressed, my speed became more and more controllable and I used less and less filler words. After my most recent speech, I'm still not quite at the level I want to be at, but I am far better than I was at the very beginning. I think just speaking in front of people more than I am used to doing has helped me develop better speaking skills and grow in my ability to effectively communicate with others. Throughout the semester I learned a lot about speaking, performing, and

Introduction

Good afternoon. I'm sure you know that voting is a large part of our lives, one that can influence our futures heavily. Young adults are the leaders of the future, and we will have a large responsibility in said future. Shouldn't we be allowed to choose what world we want to live (and die) in later on? If we live in a country that we have options to change, we can perform better and focus more, as you probably feel more comfortable in an environment you chose to be in. My three points are:

Appeal to younger votes to in turn receive more votes

Younger people's optimism can help make better choices

Younger voters would give the government a good overview on teens

Paragraph 1

On to my second point, that the age restriction on voting should be lowered, as younger people are more optimistic. In my opinion, younger people are more optimistic because they may have not experienced as many negative things throughout the course of their lives, as they haven't been alive for such a long time....show more content...

A lot of young people complain about the government and its rules, so if they were allowed to vote, the government would have nothing to lose.. If these people were allowed to officially vote, the government could look at what they want, and implement it to satisfy these citizens' needs. This way, there would be less complaining about the government by young people, as they had a choice to change what they think needs changing. The vote that brings you happiness and peace brings us anger and frustration. For example, when Britain voted to be independent, a lot of teenagers were outraged by the decision of Britain leaving the EU. If they were allowed to vote, it could have been part of their decision, too; so they wouldn't have complained about older people. This is why the age restriction on voting should be lowered to at least 15 years of age in the near

Critique Of A Public Speech

Critique Of A Public Speech

Presenting a speech can have it difficulties, whether it is you not having a loud speaking voice or nervousness, you still have to have the ability to deliver a great speech to your audience. On January 20, 1961 over 49 years ago our late President John F. Kennedypresented the Inaugural Address, in Washington D.C. The weather was very cold, and it was one of the largest crowds at the Inauguration. As I am watching the speech for the very first time, multiple thoughts are coming to my head. Here is our President –Elect presenting this speech to us about how much he is going to help change our county for the better. The beginning first words of his...show more content...

President Kennedy did a wonderful job on presenting his first Inaugural Address. I would not change anything he did but I am able to take away. He did not change the style of his voice, and when he made a statement you knew because the way he presented. He was a talented speaker, and I have learned not to be afraid to speak about what I believe in no matter who the audience. I have learned to make sure the topic fits your audience because to keep from not becoming entertained by your speech. I have also learned speak slowly and clearly so everyone will be able to understand you. Overall when listening and looking a presidential speech you have high exceptions from that president speaking. I was very amazed at President Kennedy pointing out issues like racism, and religion among the entire world. He believed in equality and freedom and was not afraid to say that. He spoke very easily and kind hearted, in a very caring and concerned voice. Every presidential speech I have seen and watched was only president who delivered and spoke what was true, President Kennedy, Clinton and Obama. Great changes in America came from President Kennedy, even though he was in office for only four

Reflection Speech

Initially, when I first registered to enroll for this online Speech class, I did not know what to expect. I thought that we would only meet in order to present the required speeches and then I thought that we would have a virtual classroom to give speeches were we were all online at once. Now I know that both of my guesses were wrong. For our speeches, we either record them online and invite classmates as audience members to watch, or have a live audience of family and/or friends that record you giving your speech in your living room or somewhere similar. When I found out that these were the ways I would be giving my speeches, I was so surprised. When I am speaking in front of a live audience in a classroom, I get so nervous, so I thought that this method of giving presentations might be less anxious for me.

The first speech was the Most Embarrassing Moment speech. I honestly was still so nervous to record this even though I would just be looking at my computer screen. It felt kind of weird, almost as if I was video chatting with myself. After I memorized my speech and sent in my recording, I immediately assumed that I failed because the professor would think that I was too close to the screen or I was too loud or I moved my head around a lot. Then I ended up getting an A on it. Everything I thought that I did wrong was either irrelevant or did not distract from my presentation as a whole. Since I only missed one point, I can say that what I did well was all the Get

SPEECH PATHOLOGY Many people would like to make a difference, not only in their own life, but in others' lives as well. Deepak Chopra once said, "Everyone has a purpose in life...a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals." All of us, at one point in our lives, have to make the difficult decision of the goals we want to work towards. We all have certain goals, standards, and expectations of ourselves. Not everyone will figure out what they want to be right away, and some will know from the very beginning. My plan for my life is helping others through Speech Language...show more content...

Informative Speech Reflection Paper After giving and analyzing my informative speech I learned many new things that will help me in my future speeches. Looking at the aspects of content, delivery, and organization I have learned by gibing this speech and being in this class how to better come across to my audience to make my topic as clear and as informative as I can. This assignment has helped me gain a better understanding of my topic, but also has helped me gain further knowledge on writing and giving my speech to an audience, along with opened my eyes to improvements I need to make in my future speeches. I have learned many new techniques and aspects to include in my speeches to make my future speeches better. Content is a very important part of an informative speech. I focused a lot on having strong points in my informative speech. I focused on discussing the types of service dogs, and the qualifications to have a service dog, along with the training a service dog undergoes. My main points I chose to include in my informative speech I expressed very well and went into a good amount of detail, however in some areas I could have given a more in–depth explanation. One thing I could have improved on in regard to my content would have been giving more background information on serve dogs, by including things like how long they have been around and the number of service dogs currently in the U.S. By doing this I would have added not only more content to my speech,
