This guide outlines speech-language pathology interventions for children with cerebral palsy and other neuromotor disorders. It describes how sensorimotor impairment influences a child's speech, language, and feeding, and how to use knowledge of development and motor control to enhance speech and language development. It covers areas of intervention that can be addressed with neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) principles, including feeding, saliva control, sound production, interaction, augmentative and alternative communication, and literacy. It details the basics of cerebral palsy and NDT, the neurology and causes of categories of cerebral palsy and associated disorders and their effects on children, assessment and classification of function, respiratory control, early language intervention, and the evidence for NDT. Additional communication sciences and disorders, speech-language pathology, and other specialists contribute some chapters. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
