What is Speech Therapy? What is the meaning of speech and language therapy?

Speechology, also known as language, language, or linguistics, is a discipline that specializes in how language can help people with mental health issues. This discipline helps people deal with a range of psychological problems, including anxiety, depression, mania, relationship problems, and more, through the use of language and communication skills. Professionals in this discipline are often speech teachers who need to be certified and trained to ensure the delivery of high-quality language services.

Speech and language are two related but distinct concepts. Speech refers to the ability and behavior of human beings to express thoughts and emotions using various language media (such as oral, written, sign language, etc.). It includes aspects such as speaking, listening, reading, writing, etc., and is the basis for human communication and exchange.

Language**, on the other hand, refers to a professional intervention for communication and communication disorders caused by neurodevelopmental disorders, brain injuries, etc. Through the practice and training of phonology, vocabulary and syntax, the development of oral expression ability, improvement of auditory comprehension ability, and help them participate effectively in social interaction. In practical applications, speech is closely related to language**.

Through speech**, problems such as inaccurate pronunciation, unclear meaning, or inability to understand what others are saying can be corrected or improved; At the same time, it can also improve the individual's communication ability and self-expression ability through language training, and improve the quality of life and work performance. In short, speech is one of the most basic ways of human communication, and language** is one of the effective ways to help patients improve their communication and communication skills through professional intervention in specific situations.

The principles of speech are: early start, and determination, step by step, timely feedback, and active participation of patients.

Speech** is a form of intervention that is widely used to help people improve their language and communication skills. Here are some examples that are not part of the verbal ** form, roughly within 400 words:

Medications: Medications are medications that are used to alleviate or ** certain diseases or symptoms. Although medication can have a positive effect on some neurological disorders related to language and communication, such as aphasia, it is not the core form of speech.

Physical and Training: Physical and training focuses primarily on recovery and muscle control, such as training for movement disorders. While this may be associated with certain communication disorders, such as dysphonia, its primary purpose is not to directly improve language and communication skills, which is different from speech in this respect.

Counseling and Psychological**: Counseling and psychological** are designed to help individuals deal with emotional, behavioral, and psychological issues. Although emotional and mental health have an impact on language and communication skills, counselling and counseling often focus on the mental health dimension rather than directly addressing speech and communication disorders.

Pedagogical Methods: Educational and pedagogical approaches refer to the adoption of specific educational strategies and methods to achieve learning objectives. While this involves developing students' language skills, education and a normal learning environment are more focused on a comprehensive, broad educational purpose and course content than verbal**.

Surgery**: Certain language or communication problems may be associated with abnormalities in physiological structures, such as congenital oral malformations. In this case, surgery** is used to repair or improve the structure or function of the organ.

However, surgery is often used in conjunction with other forms of speech to achieve better recovery outcomes.

In conclusion, although drugs, physics, counseling, educational and pedagogical methods, and surgery are all related to language and communication to some extent, they are not typical forms of speech. Language** is a targeted intervention that focuses on improving language and communication skills, through specific techniques and strategies to help people gain more effective communication skills.

The principles of language** include the following aspects: the principle of early detection, early intervention. The principle of accurate and personalized evaluation. The principle of moderate difficulty and gradual progress. The principle of highlighting key points, comprehensive training, active participation, and diverse forms.

Supplementary information: Advantages of language communication: There is a sense of intimacy, and the effect of communication can be increased by expressions, intonation, etc.

You can immediately get a response to the answer to the town and the company, and have the opportunity to supplement the explanation and the bureau's explanation. It has the benefits of two-way communication and is resilient and adaptable.

Disadvantages of language communication: In the process of transmitting information, there is a serious possibility of distortion in the travel bridge. If the message is slurred or unable to grasp the main points and express them concisely, the recipient will not be able to understand the true meaning.

It is immediacy and is not easy to retain. It is random, changes with the content of the communication, and is prone to mistakes without careful consideration.

Advantages of non-verbal communication: tangible display, long-term preservation, and legal protection if it is written. The accuracy of the message is high, and the recipient can read it slowly and comprehend it carefully. The content is easy to copy and disseminate, which is very conducive to large-scale and long-term dissemination.

Disadvantages of non-verbal communication: Compared with verbal communication, non-verbal communication is inefficient and time-consuming. If the feedback cannot be provided in a timely manner, it is difficult for the sender to be sure that it is very thorough. It requires high expression ability.

Answer]: The history of the development of China's language:

1) There are many books of the medical group of the ancient La-Dynasty in China that record the problem of speech disorder and **, and there are records of "disease speech" and "disease sound" in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin Shang era, and the "Book of Difficulties" has a more detailed record of the anatomical structure of the articulation organ and the resonance organ. The pathogenesis of speech disorder is also discussed, and it is believed that the physiology of pronunciation is not only related to the five organs, throat, lips and teeth and other organs, but also related to the qi and essence in the human body. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" believes that the palace, Shang, horn, sign, and feather are five tones, which belong to the functions of the five organs, and there is a theory of "five tones to cure diseases".

Ancient medical books of Chinese medicine record some theories and medical methods related to speech** (acupuncture, Chinese medicine, etc.).

2) As a systematic, scientific and independent comprehensive discipline, linguistic science has only a history of less than 30 years in China. After the mid-80s of the 20th century, a number of clinical hospitals, medical schools, and scientific research institutions have successively carried out speech, teaching and scientific research. This is an emerging discipline in our country, and there is an extreme shortage of professionals, and a large number of professionals engaged in speech are needed.

1.Training and mentoring.

It is the center of speech, including the use of hearing, the promotion of speech comprehension and oral expression, the restoration or improvement of articulation function, and the improvement of speech intelligibility.

2.Manual intervention.

For some patients with speech disorders, traditional medicine techniques can be used to help improve the limited motor function related to speech production, which is suitable for motor dysarthria, especially in severe patients.

3.Assistive devices.

To compensate for functional limitations, assistive devices are sometimes necessary, such as in severe motor dysarthria and palopharyngeal insufficiency, a palatal rest can be placed to improve nasalization.

4.Alternatives.

When severe speech and language impairment makes it difficult to achieve a normal level of communication, consider using alternative forms of communication, such as gesture boards and speech communicators.
