PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS OF LANGUAGE

PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS OF LANGUAGE

 Language is a social event, result of the intervention of several factors:
- Environmental stimuli- The child's intelligence- The affective or emotional world of the child (a child unattended, rejected ... can it lead to a closed world, confinement).We know that each child follows his own pace, so does the language, but there are a number of signs to be alert as we should see that something is wrong:- A baby is quiet and does not babble during the first months.- That between 12 and 24 months do not understand simple commands (finger pointing something you name it, shook his head, hand to say goodbye ,...) or develop a jargon (speech) spontaneously.- That, around age 2, does not utter words similar to those of the established language.- Than about 3 ½ years, his speech can not be understood by people who are not part of your family.

Is a disturbance or alteration of the tone or timbre of the voice in the issue resulted in: a long operation that fatigue the muscles of the larynx or an organic disorder.May be chronic or transitory.
DyslaliasIs a disturbance or alteration in the articulation of phonemes or sounds, either because they omit some of them or because they are replaced by others.

- Evolutionary Dyslalias: typical of child development. Within what is considered normal, as the child is in the process of language acquisition and errors will be corrected progressively.- Dyslalias functional is no physical or organic cause such deterioration of joint. Can make different types of errors: substitution (substituting one phoneme for another), omission (not pronounce it), investment (change it to the next) and distortion.- Dyslalias audiogenic: the change in the articulation of phonemes is produced by a hearing impairment.- Dyslalias organic: the cause may be in the speech organs (diglossia) or by brain injury (dysarthria).

There is little agreement on its definition.It applies to those children with a severe disorder of language, both in comprehension and production and whose causes are not explained by sensory problems, intellectual, neurological, ...Often associated with other disorders (attention scattered, isolated ,...)
APHASIALanguage disorder caused by brain injury, after the individual has acquired the languageThere are different types depending on where you locate the lesion.
Stuttering or stutteringIs the difficulty of maintaining the normal flow of speech, resulting in rapid repetition of sounds or syllables, causing crashes when trying to pronounce a word.- Usually accompanied by other body movements (blinking, grimacing, arm swing ,...) seeking to find help to overcome the blockade verbal.- Disappears spontaneously in most cases, responds to a tension of between 2 and 5 years (age at which usually makes its appearance).- Do not worry with the child, but give you confidence and try to relax your stress.- Stutterers not always stutter, but once the disorder has begun, they know in advance which word they cause the problem and that can cause even more that trait.- The right attitude would be to ignore early stuttering child, since it has much more aware of their stuttering, it is easier than the problem worse. You speak correctly, with patience, not complete sentences the child to initiate or interrupt. And encourage a climate of calm and relaxation (no hurry) when engage him in conversation.- If the stuttering is severe or does not improve, we must seek the help of a specialist child.
SlurredThis is an alteration in the fluidity of language, in which the individual speaks rapidly, wildly articulate.Sometimes confused with stuttering.Dysphasia

Types:If a 2 and a half years does not speak is important to distinguish:- If you understand the language, which is said.- Whether there may be some nerve damage, sensory (hearing, especially) or motor (must be able to "do" what is heard) or deficit in the speech organs.- If you have a sufficient level of intelligence, language and intelligence are closely linked.- If a suitable environment around you (good stimulation).- If you around some kind of psychological problem that may be affecting the acquisition (emotional blockage, birth of a sibling ,...).If you notice any of these points, it is advisable to consult your pediatrician or specialist in question.
