Deaf individuals who use American Sign Language (ASL) are rarely the focus of professionals in speech-language pathology. Although society is widely thought of in terms of those who speak, this norm is not all-inclusive. Many signing individuals exhibit disorders in signed language and need treatment much like their speaking peers. Although there is validation of the existence of disorders in signed language, provisions for signed language therapies are rare. Spoken language bias is explored with a focus on the concerning history of therapies provided for spoken language only. This article explores attitudes regarding ASL along with how signed language reading can help identify and treat language learning disabilities among deaf children. Addressing the topic of signed language disorders aims at meeting the needs of individuals who are deaf, which could lead to professional training and treatment options in signed language pathology (e.g., aphasia, stuttering).

The thrust of this paper was to stress the fact that language and its acquisition are fundamental to human existence. But through Neurolinguistics, studies have variously showed that some children, and in some cases adults have complications producing certain speech sounds or having problems with voice features. These problems can be characterised by difficulties in the flow or rhythm of speech that are referred to as speech pathology. These speech problems can be the way sounds are articulated (phonological disorder) or difficulties with the volume, pitch or the quality of the sound so produced. People with speech disorders do have problems using some speech sounds which can also be a sign of delay thus causing some communication breakdown. Based on this, it was concluded that clinical assistance by way of preventing, 1 assessing, diagnosing, and treating speech, language, social-communication, cognitive communication, and swallowing disorders in children and adults were suggested.

As noted in the preface of The Complete Guide to Medical Writing, medical writing is becoming recognized as a unique skill that must be developed. It should not be assumed that a university education in a medical field creates a proficient writer. All of the section authors stress that the written word be clear, concise, and accurate, particularly when used to communicate medical information. This book presents medical writing guidance in an informal and entertaining manner, sometimes using real-world examples. Most of the 6 sections are by authors who write for British audiences. Thus, the tone of the book, recommended references, and style suggestions are most relevant to medical writers in those countries. The Complete Guide to Medical Writing covers a wide variety of topics pertinent to a medical writer. This book is written in a casual, brief, and condensed format and as such, the information is provided at a level of detail below that sought by most advanced writers. Sections ...
