Loud gestures

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

Loud gestures are hand signals that symbolize the speech sound in its articulation . They are not to be confused with the signs of the sign language of the deaf or the signs of supported communication , they have no content- related points of contact. They are also not a finger alphabet that indicates the letters. Loud gestures are not an independent language for communication, they serve exclusively to support articulation skills.

principle

The hand signal ( gesture ) is carried out simultaneously with a speech sound ( sound ) assigned to it and thus connected to it. They imitate the articulation mode and thereby support the formation of sounds. Loud gestures are perceived visually and tactile- kinesthetically by the practitioner and stored in the brain as a meaningful sign. By speaking, hearing, seeing, feeling and moving, different sensory channels are activated in parallel , so sounds and gestures are permanently imprinted in the memory and can also be quickly recalled. Loud gestures are used on all language levels and in all speaking situations. They are used for the development of spoken and written language, or also in the preventive area. In speech therapy, phonetic gestures are primarily used to initiate or correct individual sounds and consonant clusters , to build up syllables and sequences of syllables and words, as well as for sound perception and sound differentiation.

Goal setting

Loud gestures are used in speech therapy to support the following speech / language disorders:

• Articulation disorders of various causes and types (verbal developmental dyspraxia VED, phonological disorder, phonematic disorder, dysarthric disorder)
• Auditory processing and perception disorders
• poorly developed phonological awareness
• Late talkers
• morphological disorders
• Dyslexia
• Down syndrome and other developmental delays
• Speech practice in adults

Concept development

There are a number of different phoneme-specific manual systems (synonyms: PMS, phonetic gestures, phonetic gestures). They are used for different areas of language support in education, special education and therapy. The term “loud gestures” is becoming increasingly popular in speech therapy.
