This brain damage, we must say, does not change and is not transmitted.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cerebral palsy, due to damage to the CNS, the muscle tone of the body is affected. Muscle tone is our readiness to move against gravity. So since muscle tone is affected, it makes sense to affect both motor development and motor behavior.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 400;\">Cerebral palsy affects the synergy and function of all muscle groups in the body. The movement of the tongue, cheeks and neck gives the person the opportunity for speech, chewing, swallowing and digestion. So if the movement in these structures of the body is affected in any way, it is next that there will be difficulty in the function of the mouth and esophagus.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The motor function of the mouth and throat has to do with chewing, swallowing, speaking and digestion. Disorder in motor synergy and motor function, due to cerebral palsy (damage to the CNS), affects the muscles of the whole body. Naturally, the above-mentioned structures are also affected.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cerebral palsy, the center of speech in the brain is often affected. In a slight insult, the child may have difficulty pronouncing the words correctly. But in more serious insults the child may have trouble verbal expression of his want.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral motor function, in particular, depends on a complex process of sending and receiving messages from the brain to the various muscles of the face and neck.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral function is directly related to and influenced by the coordination of breathing, speech, chewing, swallowing and digestion. In cerebral palsy there is a mismatch in the function of these muscles associated with speech, swallowing and chewing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In particular, these conditions affect the child&#8217;s ability to make sounds and form syllables. So there may be:<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impotence disorder<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: interruptions, such as stuttering, interrupt the flow of speech.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voice disorders<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: There is an irregular rhythm, lack of volume control and voice quality that make it difficult for children to interact.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dysarthria<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Disorder of muscle movement in the tongue, lips and vocal cords leading to blurred or muted speech and delayed rhythm of speech.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dysphagia<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Difficulty swallowing or digesting food that causes bloating, coughing, salivation and reflux.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aphasia<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: there is damage to the part of the brain that affects language and speech. This makes it difficult to speak, understand communication, read and write.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral expression<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: language processing and comprehension make it difficult to make sense of expression through verbal expression and communication.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expressive Disorders<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Difficulty combining words to convey ideas.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cognitive communication disorders<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Difficulty in communication skills that include perception, memory, problem solving and organization.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speech therapist helps the child find a way to communicate through hints or meanings. They may also face issues such as word formation, pronunciation, listening and vocabulary development.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>What is speech therapy?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech therapy helps to improve and enable communication between children with cerebral palsy. Communication skills in children organize interactive communication between them, the development of relationships, learning, work later, while increasing a child&#8217;s potential for independence and positively affects his quality of life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specialist speech therapists improve communication and speech, swallowing and digestion. Depending on what the child&#8217;s problem is, the speech therapist will help to find a way to communicate in alternative ways.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speech therapist helps to organize the child&#8217;s mouth movements as well as communication skills. They use exercises that train the brain in voice, pronunciation, speech, sound, jaw and neck muscles. This helps not only the muscles of the mouth and throat but also the breathing and salivation, which can become two very important risk factors for the child.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The greatest contribution of speech therapy is to provide the child with a way of interacting with his family and all those who want to communicate. The child develops the ability to relate words to his environment and helps to understand concepts and facts and gives him the ability to express thoughts, desires and opinions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, speech therapy significantly expands the child&#8217;s understanding of the environment and the world around him, allowing him to experience different stimuli and reach his developmental milestones.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech therapy, as it improves a child&#8217;s communication skills and understanding, can better develop an emotional bond with parents and loved ones. In this way the child will be able to play an essential role in the family, in the community and ultimately in school and work as an integral part of them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neonatal and later infancy is a time when babies need to be able to explore their environment and interact with others. Speech therapy helps with this integration into the social environment through play and socialization occurs in the child&#8217;s routine. Communication opens opportunities for the child&#8217;s integration into society and his acceptance by others.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>How is speech therapy done?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children with cerebral palsy often have weakened muscles in the neck, mouth and jaw. The enhancement of speech and function of these muscles is done through training through speech therapy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When speech therapy begins in infancy, issues beyond speech and communication can be addressed, including dysphagia and other physical issues.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning to breathe, speak and swallow &#8211; sometimes at the same time &#8211; involves one of the most complex coordination processes in these muscles. Improper execution can lead to drowning, aspiration and even pneumonia.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech therapy begins with the assessment of the child&#8217;s physical and cognitive abilities by a specialized speech therapist or speech therapist. While the recommendation of the researchers is the provision to start shortly after the diagnosis of a child with cerebral palsy, in our country the provision of speech therapy usually starts much later, approximately after the 2nd or 3rd year of life\u2026.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speech therapist helps to organize clear speech, effective speech and control of the muscles involved in speech, food, drink and swallowing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech therapy helps the child to communicate in a different way than usual, ie with words and voice. They can and do create an alternative way of vocabulary, and develop the child&#8217;s ability to &#8220;speak&#8221; through non-verbal means.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>What are the benefits of speech therapy?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communication is one of the necessary but also pleasant life experiences. Through our communication with other people we shape our personality and become members of a society.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through communication with other people, we enjoy the benefits of experiences from our social life. Communication with others also shapes our perception of our lives and relationships. This happens from our birth and continues throughout our lives.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of the child with cerebral palsy, communication does not always occur in the way we know. Children face challenges in their ability to communicate their thoughts and are at a disadvantage in relation to their peers and adults.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speech therapist with the appropriate specialized techniques, will help the expression of speech and communication of the child, in the most helpful way. The benefit of such an intervention is that the child will learn to adapt and find new ways of communication.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children with cerebral palsy often experience other developmental delays. But there are many children who have talents and abilities that they can not express properly due to speech and communication problems.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech disorders and how they affect the child vary. The speech therapist&#8217;s therapeutic strategy and the way the child will learn how to deal with their speech and communication problems is the responsibility of the speech therapist.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>So especially the benefits of speech therapy are:<\/strong><\/h3><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> helps with learning and education<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> improves education<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> increases the child&#8217;s confidence and independence<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> improves socialization<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> improves self-awareness<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reduces contraction<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children with cerebral palsy have different abilities and different limitations. The speech therapy they do is a completely personalized therapeutic approach, based on their individual limitations. Thus each child works with his therapist on very specific issues that concern him and those that affect his own speech and communication.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Speech therapy also helps the child to:<\/strong><\/h3><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> eliminate pronunciation issues<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> apply the use of words correctly<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> understand grammar<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> develop control over the rhythm of speech<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> use complex sentences<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> expand vocabulary<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> develop the ability to converse<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> understand words and sentences<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> improve memory and event recall<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> draw and understand parallels between spoken and written language<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a child has a more serious injury, he or she may not be able to express himself or herself verbally and verbally. In this case, therapists will work with the child to benefit by learning to communicate in alternative ways.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communication can be effective using some tools. These aids are varied. Some are based on technology, some are not. They use verbal cues, physical movement, sign language and communication cards.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Tools used to help speechless children include:<\/strong><\/h3><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign language<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> paper boards or picture boards<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Computers and keyboards<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Specialized software<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Computer voice systems<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Auxiliary communication devices<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A direct benefit of speech therapy for children with cerebral palsy is the ability to learn to work, while there may be a disorder in the muscles of the neck, jaw and mouth that are used for speech, but also for swallowing, eating, breathing and other bodily functions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In any case where a child&#8217;s swallowing problems are related to neurological or cognitive deficits, the child will follow a program of exercises designed to improve complex muscle coordination.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>How is speech therapy applied?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several methods used by speech therapists to treat speech and communication disorders.<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joint Therapy &#8211; shows the child how to make the right sounds, sometimes physically manipulating the mouth or tongue.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blowing exercises &#8211; used to help the child breathe properly during speech.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deal with problematic sounds by pronouncing words or sounds of vowels and consonants in quick succession.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linking language and words &#8211; using pictures, objects and books to help the child expand their vocabulary, to learn to pronounce the word correctly and to understand its meaning and purpose. Often, a physician will ask the child to use an object or play with it, so that the child makes a connection between the word and its meaning.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Language exercises &#8211; language enhancement and teaching the correct language placement required for specific sounds.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Breathing exercises &#8211; regulate breathing so that the child develops disciplined speech and at the same time an organized rhythm of breathing.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jaw exercises &#8211; strengthen the jaw to support proper speech and the ability to chew food and drink fluids safely.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children are often taught sign language or gestures to communicate with others when they have no speech. However, advances in technology have proven to be particularly effective in enabling children to communicate safely and successfully by compensating for gaps in their abilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech therapy deals not only with the act of speaking, but also with the ability to understand language. A speech therapist will also deal with word formation, pronunciation, listening, vocabulary development and direct conversation skills.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a child has no speech the speech therapist can also help identify other ways in which the child can express himself or herself to promote human interaction. This will happen through the use of gestures, symbols, touches, picture boards or technology-based methods as already mentioned.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech therapy for children with cerebral palsy can begin as early as infancy. Speech therapy for babies is especially important to help the brain develop skills that it can not later in life.
