Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.
Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Barriers to Effective Communication II01:21

Barriers to Effective Communication II

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...
Barriers to Effective Communication I01:30

Barriers to Effective Communication I

A communication barrier is any distortion or interruption during a conversation, resulting in miscommunication of the message. A good communicator should know these barriers and continuously check for the listener's understanding by obtaining feedback.
Communication barriers include the following:
Physiological barriers: They are limitations caused by a person's health condition or disability, such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, illness, or unconsciousness. An example to overcome this barrier...
Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.
Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Deaf Education
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • American Sign Language (ASL) studies is an emerging field.
  • Limited resources exist for assessing ASL acquisition and communication disorders.
  • Educators and clinicians need more information on signed language communication disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if developmental communication disorders exist in ASL.
  • To characterize these disorders in the signed modality.
  • To raise awareness among clinicians regarding these disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of 4 focus groups and 1 interview.
  • Involved 22 adults (7 Deaf, 15 hearing) from bilingual-bicultural ASL-English schools.
  • Utilized grounded theory and a modified van Kaam approach.

Main Results:

  • Participants confirmed observations of children with suspected communication disorders in ASL.
  • Explored prevalence, etiologies, and psychosocial aspects of these disorders.
  • Reported a lack of diagnostic tools and intervention strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Practitioner accounts confirm the existence of developmental communication disorders in ASL.
  • Highlights the urgent need for further research and development of assessment tools.
  • Future work will present primary data from signers with atypical language attributes.
