Document Summary

Chapter 9: children with communication, language and speech disorders. Alexander graham bell founded the school of vocal physiology in 1872 to help improve the speech of children who were deaf or who suffered from stuttering and/or articulation problems. By the 20th century, the science of speech and communication began to influence practice.

Key contributors to the importance of symbol formation were karl goldstein, helmur. Goldstein worked with aphasics, individuals who had lost or failed to develop language, whereas myklebust concentrated on individuals with auditory processing difficulties. Osgood added the idea of a mental component to communication.
