NEUROGENIC COMMUNICATION DISORDERS

提出了建立国家多用途研究与开发机构的建议 神经源性沟通障碍培训中心(RTC)--言语和 神经系统疾病引起的语言问题。这个计划 包括四个部分：基础和临床研究、研究培训、 继续教育和信息传播。这项研究 组件包含对正常和异常功能的研究，以及组件 关于言语产生和感知，语言产生和加工， 和认知力。这项研究的首要意义是与 有(A)控制语言的神经肌肉机制受损的人 运动(例如构音障碍)，(B)神经运动机制受损， 对言语动作进行编程和排序(例如，行动不便和不流利)，以及 (C)解释和形成语言符号的大脑机制受损 在听、读、说和写方面(例如，言语障碍，痴呆， 自闭症和阅读障碍)。研究培训部分包括 博士后、博士后和访问科学家课程并强调 招募代表人数不足的群体。继续教育 该提案的组成部分针对医生和其他卫生专业人员 (包括言语病理学家、心理学家和护士) 通过各种交付方法进行高级培训，这些方法包括 创新的视频和计算机会议专题讨论会。RTC将 率先建立一个连续运行的计算机网络， 将把大学、医院和私人的科学家和临床医生联系起来 在国内和国际上实践。另一项开创性功能将是 每月提供“电话会议”，相当于举行一次视频会议 一场盛大的医疗巡诊。一个特别的外展计划，在这个计划中，“远程巡视” 与计算机会议相结合，将为医生开发 以及其他为美国印第安人服务的临床医生。这些信息 RTC的传播部分旨在开展一项强有力的运动 通过与国家认可的网络进行公共宣传 与中心内容领域相关的组织、创新媒体 相片、相片系列等产品及教育 神经性沟通障碍患者的照顾者。

A proposal is offered to establish a national multi-purpose research and training center (RTC) on neurogenic communication disorders--speech and language problems caused by diseases of the nervous system. The plan includes four components: basic and clinical research, research training, continuing education, and information dissemination. The research component contains studies of normal and abnormal function, with components on speech production and perception, language production and processing, and cognition. Foremost significance of the research is in relation to persons with (a) impaired neuromuscular mechanisms that control speech movements (e.g., dysarthria), (b) impaired neuromotor mechanisms that program and sequence speech movements (e.g., dyspraxia and dysfluency), and (c) impaired brain mechanisms that interpret and formulate language symbols in listening, reading, speaking, and writing (e.g., dysphasia, dementia, autism, and dyslexia). The research training component includes predoctoral, postdoctoral, and visiting scientist programs and emphasizes the recruitment of underrepresented groups. The continuing education component of the proposal targets physicians and other health professionals (including speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and nurses) for advanced training through a variety of delivery methods that range from symposia to innovative video and computer conferencing. The RTC will pioneer the establishment of a continuously operating computer network that will link scientists and clinicians in universities, hospitals, and private practice nationally and internationally. Another pioneering feature will be the provision of monthly "tele-rounds," a video conference equivalent to a medical grand rounds. A special outreach program, in which "tele-rounds" and computer conferencing are combined, will be developed for physicians and other clinicians serving American Indians. The information dissemination component of the RTC is directed toward a vigorous campaign of public outreach through networking with nationally recognized organizations related to the content area of the center, innovative media products such as photonovels and photomural series, and education for caregivers of individuals with neurogenic communication disorders.
