Learning outcomes
The objective of the discipline is to provide a deep comprehensive insight into the issue of disrupted speech development in all its dimensions and in the contemporary and historical context. The discipline focuses on language-related developmental deficits from the perspective of disrupted speech development as the dominant impairment, specific language impairment - developmental dysphasia (in an international context of SLI), central auditory processing disorders (in an international context of CAPD), semantic-lexical and semantic-pragmatic disorders, phonological developmental disorders and other forms of related disorders. Focus in on the application of scientific and research findings in this area, use of multidisciplinary resources, and a synthesis of domestic and international scientific findings. Special attention will be paid to factual functions and their relationship with cerebral activity, especially in terms of hemispheric specialization and coordination. The issue will be analysed in the context of terminology, incidence, etiology, classification, symptomatology, diagnostics, intervention and therapy, prevention and prognosis. The discipline is based on the knowledge of special education, medicine, psychology, and linguistics. Focus is on the concept of speech development in a direct differential-diagnostic and interdisciplinary context, especially in the area of pervasive developmental disorders, intellectual disability, hearing impairment, disruption of the graphical form of speech, calculia, musia and praxia, mutism, acquired phatic disorders, but also in the context of the respective cultural and language background. The discipline analyses the manifestations of disrupted speech development in various aspects of communication ability, secondary symptomatology, transformation of symptoms, association with intellect structure diagnosis - neuropsychological principle of contemporary perspectives of specific language impairment, special methodological and technical aids and instrumentation.
