The Verbal Entwicklungsdyspraxie (VED) is a developmental disorder child's speech, which is characterized by a poor pronunciation. The origin has not yet been clarified with certainty; one theory sees the problem at the level of speech movement planning and programming, which severely affects the ability to relate the movements required for speech productions to their spatial and temporal relationships. This results in the inability or the restricted ability to use the organs of articulation in an arbitrary and controlled manner for a planned utterance. The VED has a disruptive influence on the entire language system that is currently developing. Speech comprehension is not affected by the disorder, so it is a speech disorder.

etiology

The causes discussed are: industrial chemicals, genetic disposition, as well as neurological abnormalities or metabolic disorders.

Symptoms

An early feature is common: hardly any babbling or babbling productions in infancy. Characteristics of the disorder are: extremely delayed language acquisition, barely understandable language; Search movements and / or silent positioning of the lips and tongue before and during an utterance. The sound formation is disturbed: There are multiple sound formation errors such as omissions, substitutions, exchanges, additions, repetitions and lengthening of consonants and vowels; possibly “loss” of already mastered words; The main feature is the variability of the phonetic errors (inconsistent and inconsistent): one and the same word is articulated in different ways.

Frequent abnormalities in association with a VED are dysgrammatism, oral / buccofacial apraxia and hyper- or hyposensitivity in the mouth area (consequences include, for example, expressions of pain even when carefully brushing your teeth or very warm, but usually easily edible food) as well as sucking, swallowing and chewing difficulties . This can result in difficult, possibly inadequate food intake, especially in babies. In this case, chewing (more biting than grinding) is noticeable in older children; in extreme cases it can go as far as gagging and partial vomiting while eating (including finely pureed porridge). If necessary Various foods are rejected by the child due to their consistency.

therapy

Often the suspicion of a verbal developmental dyspraxia arises only because of insufficient or minimal progress despite long speech therapy. In a Cochrane analysis from 2008 it was concluded that the study situation does not allow any form of therapy to be specified that is successful. From clinical experience, oral motor exercises do not seem to be effective. One possible approach is the multi-sensory association method, in which the individual sounds are assigned visual and tactile-kinesthetic cues. The repetition rate of the respective exercise content must be extremely high in order to be able to automate speech movement processes. Therefore, the intensive involvement of the caregivers in the therapy work is even more essential than usual for the success of the therapy.

Various therapeutic approaches: McGinnis association method mod. (R.Meir); Ko-Art (U. Becker-Redding); VEDiT (A. Schulte-Mäter); TOLGS (I. Wurzer); TAKTKIN (Birner-Janusch); Dyspraxia Programma (NL 1993, German adaptation).

Associations and comorbidities

As with dyspraxia in general, VED is often associated with other disorders, or they are more common. Such are z. B.
