NEUROGENIC COMMUNICATION DISORDERS

提出了继续资助国家多功能项目的建议 神经源性沟通障碍研究和培训中心 在亚利桑那大学。该计划的重点是演讲和语言 儿童和成人神经系统疾病引起的问题 它包括四个部分：基础和临床研究、研究 培训、继续教育和信息传播。这个 研究部分包括对正常和异常功能的研究， 关于言语产生和感知、语言产生和 加工和认知。这项研究的首要意义在于 与有(A)神经肌肉机制受损的人的关系 控制言语运动(构音障碍)，(B)神经运动机制受损 对言语动作(行动不便和不流畅)进行编程和排序，以及 (C)解释和表达语言的大脑机制受损 听、读、说、写的符号(失语症、痴呆症、 自闭症和阅读障碍)。研究培训部分包括 本科生、博士后、博士后和访问科学家计划 并强调招聘任职人数不足的群体，特别是 西班牙裔和美国印第安人。该计划的持续教育部分 提案针对的是医生和其他医疗保健专业人员(演讲- 语言病理学家、心理学家和护士)进行高级培训 通过各种不同的交付方法，从研讨会到 创新的计算机和视频会议。RTC将运营一项 连接科学家和临床医生的计算机网络Center-Net 全国大学、医院和私人诊所，以及 在国际上。此外，它还将每月提供一颗卫星- 传输的电视节目和视频会议，TELEROUNDS，这将是 将被国际上数百个网站接收。这些信息 RTC的传播部分旨在开展一项强有力的运动 通过与相关国家组织建立网络进行公众宣传 到中心的内容区，创新的媒体产品，如 照片和摄影系列，以及为照顾者提供的教育项目 神经性沟通障碍的个体。

A proposal is offered to continue the funding of a National Multipurpose Research and Training Center (RTC) on neurogenic communication disorders at the University of Arizona. The plan focuses on speech and language problems caused by diseases of the nervous system in children and adults and 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 projects 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 (dysarthria), (b)impaired neuromotor mechanisms that program and sequence speech movements (dyspraxia & dysfluency), and (c) impaired brain mechanisms that interpret and formulate language symbols in listening, reading, speaking, and writing (dysphasia, dementia, autism, & dyslexia). The research training component includes undergraduate, predoctoral, postdoctoral, and visiting scientist programs and emphasizes the recruitment of underrepresented groups, especially Hispanics and American Indians. The continuing education component of the proposal targets physicians and other health care professionals (speech- language pathologists, psychologists, & nurses) for advanced training through a variety of delivery methods that range from symposia to innovative computer and video conferencing. The RTC will operate a computer network, CENTER-NET, that links scientists and clinicians in universities, hospitals, and private practice nationally and internationally. In addition, it will provide a monthly satellite- transmitted television program and video conference, TELEROUNDS, that will be received by hundreds of sites internationally. The information dissemination component of the RTC is directed toward a vigorous campaign of public outreach through networking with national organizations related to the content area of the Center, innovative media products such as photonovels and photomural series, and educational programs for caregivers of individuals with neurogenic communication disorders.
