Acquired Aphasia in Children
One of the most fascinating problems in Behavioural Neurology is the question of the cerebral organization for language during childhood. Acquired aphasia in children, albeit rare, is a unique circumstance in which to study the relations between language and the brain during cerebral maturation. Its study further contributes to our understanding of the recovery processes and brain plasticity during childhood. But while there is a great amount of information and experimental work on brain-behaviour relationships in adult subjects, the literature about the effects of focal brain lesions in children is both exiguous and scattered throughout scientific journals and books. We felt it was time to ...
Neurogenic Language Disorders in Children
Language disorders in children are one of the most frequent causes of difficulties in communication, social interaction, learning and academic achievement. It has been estimated that over 5% of children present with some kind of language disorder. This volume illustrates the state of the art in neurogenic language disorders in children. The most recent findings about acquired epileptiform aphasias (from Landau-Kleffner syndrome to autistic regression) are presented and discussed.Language disorders in children with early brain lesions are reviewed in relation to the side of the lesion and their epileptic correlates (e.g., paroxysmal abnormalities during NREM sleep). New clinical reports are p...
Aphasia in Atypical Populations
Theory and research in aphasiology have typically concentrated on a limited population--right-handed adult monolinguals whose language uses an alphabetic code. Bilingual individuals, ideographical code users, and children (among others) have been separated out. This book examines the available data from these "atypical" aphasics, asking whether what makes them different has a significant effect on language representation and processing in the brain. Each chapter reviews literature pertinent to a given population and explores whether (and potentially how) these populations differ from the "typical" aphasic population. The ultimate goal is to better understand whether the model of language used in aphasiology can be extended to these "atypical" populations, or conversely, whether significant differences merit the development of a new model.
Continuous Spikes and Waves During Slow Sleep
This book collects the results of clinical experience and research, as well as the opionions of the specialists who have studied in depth several rare and complex syndromes associated with "Continuous Spikes and Waves During Slow Sleep", the Landau-Kleffner syndrome, and related conditions. It also presents a wide-ranging collection of cases presented by the participants in the meeting, and analysed in its various clinical, electrophysiological and psycho-intellectual aspects. The purpose of the book is to provide a thorough updated on specialised knowledge about the syndromes characterised by the presence of CSWS on the EEG, to bring out the many, still unanswered -- questions, and to stimulate further interdisciplinary research to verify the validity of present hypotheses, in order to clarify which preventive and therapeutic methods can best attain the control of such syndromes.
Localization of Brain Lesions and Developmental Functions
The study of neuropsychological functions in children has lately undergone a considerable evolution, most obviously represented by the evidence that cerebral areas of the child's brain are specialised at a very early stage. Such evidence has been derived from a number of anatomical, physiological and clinical studies. This book examines and defines the pictures of any deficient function, or of several, in relation to lesions of different cerebral areas, thereby indirectly demonstrating the role of these areas in neuropsychological development.
Aphasiediagnostik - aktuelle Perspektiven
Für Patientinnen und Patienten mit Schwierigkeiten im Bereich der Sprache und Kommunikation bildet eine sorgfältige Differentialdiagnostik die Voraussetzung für die therapeutische Entscheidungsfindung und die Planung einer auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Person und ihres Umfelds abgestimmten logopädischen Arbeit. Die diagnostische Herangehensweise ist daher vielfältig und anspruchsvoll. Nur auf der Basis einer kombinierten umfeld-, sprachhandlungs- und strukturorientierten Analyse kann eine lebensweltbezogene Zielfindung gelingen und auf längere Sicht die Teilhabe des Patienten am gesellschaftlichen Leben ermöglicht werden. Bei der Aphasiediagnostik stehen teilhabe- und kommuni...

Handbook of Early Language Impairment in Children
This innovative book covers the basic nature and description of children with specific language impairments. This text also provides information on the cognitive, motor, and communication problems in young children with language impairments. It also contains up-to-date information on a variety of disorders such as: AD/HD, Fragile X, TBI, Prenatal Substance Abuse, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, and HIV-infected children.
