Management of palilalia with a pacing board
The Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders
|August 1, 1979
Abstract:
Palilalia is a speaking disorder that has been likened to the festinating gait of Parkinsonian patients. This report describes a pacing device developed as a means of controlling the severely palilalic output of one patient. The device is a modeled after Luria's suggestion that a treatment program for such patients can be developed successfully by transferring automatic motor acts to a conscious, reactive level.
