MODULE 11

Students with Speech and Language Disorder

Learning Activities
Activity 1. Think of people you know who have speech and language disorders.
Try to explain their communication problems be referring to the parts in the
chapter.
 I have a classmate when I was in high school that has a speech defect
which makes her difficult to say what she is wanted to tell and she
repeats the word she wanted to say until she hit the word which she
wanted to say.

Activity 2. Recall the times when you abused your voice. What were the
results? What lessons did you learn from such experience?
 When I was in my teenage years I use to shout when there is an activity
in the school with that activity I noticed that my voice changes. The
lessons I’ve learn from this is that don’t shout out loud because your voice
will be affected and one day it will be a damage for you.

Activity 3. Interview your grandparents and other old people regarding certain
beliefs on how to cure sore throat, bourse voice and similar ailments. Compare
them to the effects of medicines that are advertised on TV. Make a stand on the
old versus what the present advertisements claim.
 As I asked the old people around me regarding with this beliefs on how to
cure this, they say that it need to drink milled hot water and put a little
salt then try to gargle it. Also chewing some ginger is effective. While
based on the advertisement I’ve seen in the TV’s I think that both of them
are effective since it was proven and tested.

feelings, thoughts, or experiences via the use of words, and it is a form of
spoken or vocal communication.

4. Discuss an ideal educational placement for a child with communication

disorder.
 Be persistent and tune in. Don’t give words or wrap up sentences for an
individual who stammers or talks with trouble; let the individual total his
or her considerations. Deliver understudies with communication
incapacities the opportunity to take part in course dialogs as much as
conceivable, indeed in case additional time is vital

5. Justify the importance of the family’s participation in the educational program

of a child with a communication disorder.
 Parental association is basic for understudy improvement and offers
numerous benefits. It moreover makes a difference progress understudy
