Speech and language Therapy – Speak Your Mind


Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder caused by brain damage. It is characterised by an impairment of language modalities speaking, listening, reading and writing. One of the most disabling consequences of aphasia is the way that it excludes the person from conversation. The needs of children with communication disorder (Down's syndrome) tend to be different to the needs of other children with learning difficulties, because of their hearing and speech motor difficulties. Children who have Down's syndrome face complicated challenges in mastering and using speech language and communication skills. With the right opportunities and support they can develop communication skills that help them to make relationships and socialise, communicate wishes needs and aspirations and use language effectively as a tool in all sorts of situations.
People with Down's syndrome require direct teaching of specific aspects of language and communication skills as well as good language models and general language stimulation to support language learning. Greatest gains in language are usually made when intervention is started early, however people who have Down's syndrome can benefit from speech and language therapy throughout life. Speech and language therapy focuses on amongst other areas: expressive language, receptive language, ability to understand words spoken to you, and the ability to use words to express oneself. Speech and language therapist will identify and improve abilities with expressive language, functional communication skills, and oral motor feeding issues. They also improve communication through interpersonal interaction, idea expression, obtaining desires, and sharing information.
Speech and language therapy helps people in reducing and coping with communication problems caused by an illness or disorder. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can guide them through relearning the mental and physical aspects of producing speech and having conversations. For people who are unable to regain their speaking abilities completely after recovering from an illness, accident or stroke, therapy can help them to work around their remaining difficulties by teaching them other ways to make themselves understood by using assistive communication technology.
Speech and language therapists work to assess, diagnose and develop a programme of care to maximize the communication skills of individuals who experience speech, language and other communication difficulties. In practice, they do more than just teach an individual to speak. They may also teach someone how to understand and use a range of other skills, such as what non-verbal signals mean and how to take part in a two-way conversation. Speech and language therapists use a wide range of techniques and strategies. For example, they may teach non-verbal children how to use electronic devices or manual signing systems. Therapists evaluate oral-motor skills, sound production, and speech. They also provided treatment intervention to improve strength, coordination, movement, and placement of the tongue, lips, jaw, and cheeks rely on the proper function and structure of the oral areas. Speech-language therapy also delves into cognitive reorganization and other technical areas. They consult with the child’s teacher to determine the most effective methods to assist the child’s communication in school or at day care. At home, they confer with the family to determine the most effective methods to assist the child’s communication. Thereafter, they create goals and procedures for successful therapy at home and at school.

Occupational Therapy Jobs are Just a Click Away


Today's unemployment data is enough to make even the most dedicated job-seeker wonder: Where are all the good jobs? But good jobs are out there, you just need to know where to look.
According to new figures from www.yourworldhealthcare.co.uk, occupational therapists are in particularly high demand but are in especially short supply, making those jobs some of the least competitive. And healthcare companies are at the top of the nation's hiring list, according to the site's monthly jobs outlook report. Occupational therapy jobs in healthcare facilities offer the opportunity to work in different environments alongside skilled professionals from other disciplines, and help therapists enhance their knowledge and experience.
The Chief Recruiting Officer at Your World Healthcare said, "To get placed in occupational therapy jobs, jobseekers must possess a master’s degree in occupational therapy and a officially-issued license. Strong interpersonal skills, good communication ability, patience and commitment are additional qualifications. Furthermore, Occupational therapists have to ably support individuals experiencing developmental, physical, mental and emotional disorders. They have to analyse and schedule the appropriate treatment procedures and therapeutic exercises that would help their patients develop the skills to perform tasks in both working and living environments. The ultimate goal of the occupational therapists is to help their patients lead an independent, productive, active and satisfying life." 
He further added, "Occupational therapy jobseekers can secure permanent, temporary, long-term, short-term, part-time or contract employment in well-known healthcare facilities including multi-specialty hospitals, rehab centres, physicians’ offices, nursing clinics, outpatient care centres, and so on. Our online jobs database is updated frequently and we also offer facilities for online resume submission."

Occupational Therapy – An Occupation Worth Pursuing


Occupational therapy is actually based on "doing", or "occupation". Occupational therapy involves enabling individuals and groups to do the things that they need and want to do in everyday life, and assists people to develop and maintain a meaningful lifestyle. Occupations are anything (tasks and activities) that people do. A lot of people think Occupational therapy is about your job or your occupation. On the contrary, Occupational therapy means enabling a person to do normal things that a normal person does. Some easy examples of normal chores that a person performs in a routine day are eating breakfast, dressing, up, brushing your teeth and taking a bath etc. Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by enabling people to do things that will enhance their ability to participate or by modifying the environment to better support participation.
Occupational therapists are based in a variety of clinical and community settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation units, schools, community health centres and people's homes. Some examples of what occupational therapists do include:
·         Enable people to dress themselves again after a stroke
·         Improve the play and movement skills of a baby or child with a disability
·         Visit a disabled or elderly person to make their home easier and safer for them to use
·         Assess the driving ability of someone with a disability
·         Visit work places to assist people to modify their jobs and design work areas to better suit their needs
·         Help people select equipment and appliances, including wheelchairs, assistive technology and dressing aids, to increase their independence
·         Working with adults with learning difficulties to improve their skills for living in the community
·         Work with builders, architects and local authorities to design public places and homes that will suit people with various different abilities
·         Use activities, such as crafts, gardening or cooking to improve a person's hand function
·         Work with people with mental health difficulties to assist them in planning and organising a meaningful lifestyle
·         Show someone with memory difficulties how to use memory aids and cues
Occupational therapists have a broad education that equips them with skills and knowledge to work collaboratively with individuals or groups of people who have an impairment of body structure or function due to a health condition, and who experience barriers to participation. Occupational therapists believe that participation can be supported or restricted by physical, social, attitudinal and legislative environments. Therefore, occupational therapy practice may be directed to changing aspects of the environment to enhance participation.
Occupational therapy is practiced in a wide range of settings, including hospitals, health centres, homes, workplaces, schools, reform institutions and housing for seniors. Clients are actively involved in the therapeutic process, and outcomes of occupational therapy are diverse, client-driven and measured in terms of participation or satisfaction derived from participation. Career opportunities for occupational therapists are excellent in any part of the world. There are also many opportunities for further study and development of specialised expertise in areas such as physical and psychiatric rehabilitation, hand therapy, health services management, learning disability, disability studies, and community occupational therapy.
