NEUROGENIC COMMUNICATION DISORDERS

建议建立一个国家多目的研究和 神经源性沟通障碍培训中心-言语和 由神经系统疾病引起的语言障碍。 该计划 包括四个组成部分：基础和临床研究，研究培训， 继续教育和信息传播。 研究 组件包含正常和异常功能的研究，组件 关于言语产生和感知，语言产生和处理， 和认知。 本研究的主要意义在于 （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）受损的神经运动机制， 对语音移动进行编程和排序（例如，运动障碍和流畅性障碍），以及 (c)解释和表达语言符号的大脑机制受损 在听、阅读、说和写中（例如，语言障碍，痴呆， 自闭症和诵读困难）。 研究培训部分包括 博士前，博士后和访问科学家计划，并强调 招募代表性不足的群体。 继续教育 提案的一部分针对医生和其他卫生专业人员 （包括语言病理学家、心理学家和护士）， 通过各种交付方法进行高级培训， 研讨会到创新的视频和计算机会议。 RTC将 率先建立了一个连续运行的计算机网络， 将大学、医院和私立医院的科学家和临床医生联系起来， 在国内和国际上实践。 另一个开创性的功能将 每月提供“远程查房”，即相当于 一场医疗大查房 一个特别的外展计划，其中“远程查房” 和计算机会议相结合，将为医生开发 和其他为美洲印第安人服务的临床医生。 的信息 RTC的传播部分是针对一个强有力的运动 通过与国家承认的 组织相关的内容领域的中心，创新媒体 产品，如photonovels和photomural系列，以及教育， 神经源性沟通障碍患者的护理人员。

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.
