ABSTRACT

Since foreign patients may have inadequate Japanese language proficiency, rehabilitation techniques and evaluations of the higher brain and language function are often challenging. Here, we report a Hongkongese patient who suffered from higher brain dysfunction and dysgraphia after brain surgery. The patient was a 29-year-old left-handed man admitted to the Osaka International Cancer Institute for surgical resection of a choroid plexus tumor located on the trigone in the right lateral ventricle. Since the patient's mastery of the Japanese language was poor on preoperative evaluation, we partially evaluated his higher brain functions in Cantonese and English. However, he experienced left hemispatial neglect and spatial dysgraphia on postoperative day (POD) 2. On POD 48, his spatial dysgraphia (mainly in Cantonese) and higher brain functions improved with rehabilitation treatment, which involved verbal and non-verbal techniques such as task presentation and pointing. Although rehabilitation tasks and techniques are difficult due to language barriers, non-verbal techniques can be effective in providing treatment. Furthermore, it is important to evaluate the patient's language proficiency on preoperative assessment, especially in non-native Japanese speakers.

ABSTRACT

Background: Visual perception skill related problems are important in poor academic performance in learning disability (LD) children. Visual perception skill often not tested in LD children. The objective of the study is to explore visual perception skill pattern among children with learning disorder.Methods: Retrospective observational study was conducted at LD clinic of tertiary hospital. Children diagnosed with learning disorder were includes. Visual perception data were collected using predefined standard questionnaire of third edition total visual perception score (TVPS-3). Trained medical professional collected the details.Results: Total 103 children diagnosed with LD were evaluated for TVPS-3. Majority of the children had all three learning disorders-dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia. 58.42% children had co-morbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. From the 7 subtests of the TVPS visual discrimination, visual memory, form constancy and visual figure - ground affected more in boys and also in lower age children.Conclusions: Assessment of visual perception skill in children with learning disorder is crucial. Visual perception rehabilitation with other management of LD can benefit the overall functionality of these children.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo trata de uma discussão a respeito da dislexia e da disgrafia diagnosticada em crianças em fase de aquisição de linguagem, sendo que a disgrafia está presente neste estudo por se tratar do diagnóstico recebido pelo irmão da criança cujos dados de linguagem estão sob análise. Para tanto, três áreas de conhecimento serão abordadas: a Fonoaudiologia, a Psicanálise e a Linguística (Neurolinguística Discursiva e Aquisição da Linguagem), a fim de se saber o que cada uma diz a respeito dessa temática. Apresentamos dados de escrita de uma criança com diagnóstico de dislexia e de uma criança com diagnóstico de disgrafia. Esses dados nos levaram a questionar a noção de distúrbio, de dislexia e de disgrafia.


This article deals with a discussion about dyslexia and dysgraphia diagnosed in children in the language acquisition phase. Since dysgraphia is present in this study because it is the diagnosis received by the sibling of the child whose language data are under analysis. To do so, three areas of knowledge will be addressed: Speech Therapy, Psychoanalysis and Linguistics (Discursive Neurolinguistics and Language Acquisition), in order to know what each one says about this subject. We present written data of a child diagnosed with dyslexia and of a child diagnosed with dysgraphia. These data led us to question the notion of disorder, dyslexia and dysgraphia.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo efectuar una revisión actualizada de los modelos neuropsicológicos y psicolingüísticos de la intervención en las dificultades de la escritura. Método. Se partió de una revisión y un estudio teórico de documentos especializados, utilizando diversos descriptores específicos (disgrafía-neuropsicología, disgrafía-psicolingüística, reeducación/educación-disgrafía) de la Web of Science. Resultados. De modo habitual, la literatura especializada plantea que la intervención neuropsicológica y psicolingüística debe ser integral, en el sentido de centrarse en los procesos tanto generales como específicos que subyacen a la escritura de cada niño. De la misma forma, se identifica que la adaptación del modelo de trabajo a las necesidades reales del alumno en cuanto a su grafismo, calidad del escrito y dificultades concretas permite la optimización del resultado. Conclusión. Resulta necesario considerar que una adecuada intervención en la escritura no debe ser genérica, sino individualizada y específica. De ahí que la adopción de un modelo de trabajo integral le aporte beneficios al niño, dado que se centra en los factores que determinan su acto gráfico, su calidad de la composición y la corrección de sus errores concretos.


Objective. This study aimed to carry out an updated review of neuropsychological and psycholinguistic models in the intervention of writers who demonstrate poor acquisition of writing skills. Method. We have started a comprehensive review and theoretical study of specialized documents, using various specific descriptors (dysgraphia - neuropsychology, dysgraphia - psycholinguistic, reeducation / education - dysgraphia) in the Web of Science. Results. Regularly, the literature suggests that neuropsychological and psycholinguistic intervention must be comprehensive, in the sense of focus on both general and specific processes that underlie each child's writing. The adaptation of the working model to the real needs of the student in terms of graphics, quality of writing and their particular difficulties allows the optimization of the result. Conclusion. We need to consider that a good intervention in writing can't be generic, but must be individualized and specific. The adoption of a model of integrated work brings benefits to the child, since it focuses on the factors that determine their graphic act, the quality of the composition, and correction of their specific errors.

ABSTRACT

Technology advances and scientific studies in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) have contributed significantly to reduce mortality and morbidity of at-risk newborns (NB). However, they are more likely to present neurological and/or developmental psychomotor delay with neurological and sensory alterations. Therefore, proposals for neonatal intervention were developed with the aim of protecting the baby and offering appropriate incentives to minimize the effects of hospital intervention. To this end, programs of protective measures such as the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) were developed. Given the relevance of the issue described, this systematic review critically appraises articles from the national and international literature, published in recent years (from 2000 to 2011), that describe whether the KMC can be a protective factor for the development of writing in premature infants. The textual search was conducted using the Virtual Health Library (VHL), a website that covers publications worldwide, allowing access to articles from health science, including LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and SciELO, as database. The findings revealed that infants who participated in the KMC program showed improvements in their development and that factors such as low-birth-weight prematurity and learning disorders have close relationship with the onset of motor impairments and changes in psychomotor development. The findings showed no articles describing the KMC as a protective factor for the incidence of dysgraphia. Thus, we emphasize the importance of conducting further studies on these topics.


Os avanços da tecnologia e dos estudos científicos nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN) contribuíram significativamente para a diminuição da mortalidade e da morbidade de recém-nascidos (RN) de risco, porém, eles continuam mais propensos a apresentar comprometimento neurológico e/ou retardo no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor, com alterações neurológicas e sensoriais. Diante disso, surgiram propostas de programas de intervenção neonatal com o objetivo de resguardar o bebê e oferecer estímulos adequados para minimizar os efeitos das intervenções, com medidas protetoras, entre elas o Método Mãe Canguru (MMC). Face à relevância do tema descrito, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar um levantamento bibliográfico de artigos nacionais e internacionais publicadas nos últimos anos (2000 a 2011) que descrevem de que maneira o MMC pode ou não agir como fator protetivo ao desenvolvimento da escrita em prematuros. Para a busca textual foi eleita a Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde - BVS, por se tratar de um site que abrange publicações mundiais, permitindo acesso a artigos da Ciências da Saúde, em geral tendo LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE, Biblioteca Cochrane e SciELO como bases de dados. Os resultados encontrados nos artigos revelaram que os RN que participaram do MMC apresentaram melhoras no desenvolvimento e que fatores como a prematuridade, baixo peso ao nascer e distúrbios de aprendizagem estão fortemente correlacionados com deficiências motoras e alterações no desenvolvimento psicomotor. Concluiu-se que não foram encontrados artigos que descrevem o MMC como fator protetivo ao aparecimento da disgrafia. Sendo assim, acredita-se ser de grande importância a condução de futuros estudos sobre esses temas.

ABSTRACT

In general, the difficulties presented by children diagnosed with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are first noticed by parents in the daily routine. Although the discussion about the functional impact of DCD is expanding in some countries, it is still poorly explored in Brazil. The purpose of this study was to review the literature that describes the perception of parents concerning the impact of DCD on the daily life of these children and their families. An electronic search for the evidence available in the literature was conducted in major databases using, as keywords, the terms commonly adopted by researchers and practitioners working with children with DCD. The inclusion criteria were articles that used qualitative methodology, studies published from January 1995 to February 2012, and data collected through interviews with parents and/or caregivers, which described children with specific signs of DCD. Of the 594 articles found, only eight used qualitative methodology - all in English. The data presented in these articles show the concern of parents regarding the socialization process of their children with DCD and the lack of preparation of the educational system to deal with the motor difficulties that characterize this disorder. In conclusion, it is essential, especially for rehabilitation professionals who deal with children with DCD, to value how parents perceive the motor coordination difficulties of their children in order to develop actions and services that are adequate to the reality of Brazilian families.


As dificuldades de crianças com Transtorno do Desenvolvimento da Coordenação geralmente são percebidas primeiramente pelos pais durante a realização de atividades que fazem parte da rotina diária de seus filhos. Embora a discussão sobre o impacto funcional do TDC tenha sido ampliada em alguns países, no Brasil esse tema ainda é incipiente. O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar a literatura que descreve a percepção dos pais sobre o impacto do TDC no cotidiano da criança e da família. Realizou-se levantamento das evidências disponíveis na literatura por meio de busca eletrônica nas principais bases de dados, tendo sido usados como palavras-chave os termos comumente adotados pelos pesquisadores e profissionais que trabalham com crianças com TDC. Os critérios para inclusão dos artigos foram uso de metodologia qualitativa, trabalhos publicados no período de janeiro de 1995 a fevereiro de 2012, dados coletados por meio de entrevistas com pais e/ou cuidadores e que se referiam a crianças com sinais específicos de TDC. Foram localizados 594 artigos sobre o transtorno motor, sendo apenas oito qualitativos e todos em inglês. Os dados obtidos nesses artigos evidenciam a preocupação dos pais quanto ao processo de socialização de suas crianças com TDC e a falta de preparo do sistema educacional para lidar com as dificuldades características desse transtorno motor. Conclui-se ser imprescindível, especialmente para profissionais de reabilitação que lidam com crianças com TDC, considerar como os pais percebem as dificuldades de coordenação motora de seus filhos, a fim de desenvolver serviços e ações adequados à realidade das famílias brasileiras.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la dislexia y la disgrafia constituyen trastornos del lenguaje escrito que generan una de las primeras causas del fracaso escolar. El artículo reveló los resultados de la evaluación de un sistema de procedimientos logopédicos, propuesto por el colectivo de autores. Objetivo: evaluar la efectividad del sistema de procedimientos logopédicos para la atención a niños con manifestaciones de dislexia y disgrafia. Métodos: en la evaluación del sistema de procedimientos logopédicos para la atención a escolares primarios con trastornos del lenguaje escrito se aplicó encuesta a 23 maestros primarios, 4 metodólogos y 15 logopedas, se sometió la propuesta a criterios de expertos y se seleccionó una muestra intencional de 26 escolares con manifestaciones de dislexia y disgrafia de la escuela primaria Fabio Rosel del Río de Guantánamo, con la que se realizó un pre-experimento con estudio de casos. Resultados: los escolares con manifestaciones de dislexia y disgrafia superaron el trastorno en un corto período de tiempo, más del 90% de los casos lograron desarrollar hábitos y habilidades en la adquisición del mecanismo de la lecto-escritura. La lectura fue fluida (73%) y en igual medida se logró que en la escritura no se evidenciaran manifestaciones de cambios, trasposiciones, omisiones y condensaciones. El 90% de los maestros primarios y el 95% de los logopedas consideraron que el sistema de procedimientos contribuyó a superar las manifestaciones de dislexia y disgrafia. Conclusiones: se corroboró la factibilidad del sistema de procedimientos logopédicos. La evaluación de los mismos confirmó la necesidad de perfeccionar el proceso de ayuda logopédica a partir de la comprensión del cuadro etiopatogénico de los trastornos del lenguaje escrito y su manifestación individualizada.


Introduction: dyslexia and dysgraphia are written language disorders that create one of the leading causes of school failure. The article revealed the results of the evaluation of a system for speech therapy procedures proposed by the group of authors. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of speech therapy system procedures for the children with dyslexia and dysgraphia manifestations. Methods: for the evaluation system of speech therapy procedures for primary school children with written language disorders, a survey was applied to 23 primary school teachers, four methodologists and 15 therapists. The proposal was submitted to expert assessment and an intentional sample was selected (26 students with dyslexia and dysgraphia manifestations) of Fabio Rosel del Río primary school of Guantanamo. A pre - experiment case study was performed. Results: students´ manifestations of dyslexia and dysgraphia exceed disorder in a short period of time. Over 90% of cases developed habits and skills for reading. Reading was fluid in 73% of individuals, in writing no manifestations were observed, as well as transpositions, omissions and condensations. 90% of primary teachers and 95% of speech therapists considered the system of procedures helped to improve the dyslexia and dysgraphia disorders. Conclusions: the feasibility of the speech therapy procedures system was proved. The evaluation confirmed the need to improve the process of speech therapy assistance from the understanding of the etiopathogenic issues, regarding written language disorders and considering the individualized manifestation.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Rastrear sinais de alerta para a disgrafia em escolares do 6º ano do ensino fundamental. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório, de coorte transversal realizado com 630 escolares avaliados através do Inventário Disgráfico Analítico (adaptado), que reconhece as dificuldades da escrita através do traçado dos grafismos. RESULTADOS : Em 22% (n = 138) da amostra apareceram todos os indicativos de disgrafia, sendo que o indicador mais prevalente foi o de linha ascendente/descendente/flutuante (53,6%). Se correlacionados os indicadores ao gênero,os meninos apresentaram diferença significativa (p < 0,05) na maioria deles. Dentre os sinais de alerta de co-ocorrências, a dislexia foi a que obteve maior indicador (22%). CONCLUSÃO: Considerando o grande número de sinais de alerta para disgrafia encontrados nos escolares, torna-se pertinente o rastreio para que uma intervenção precoce seja realizada.


OBJECTIVE: To screen for warning signs of dysgraphia in schoolchildren at the sixth grade of elementary school. METHOD: This was a descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional cohort study performed with 630 schoolchildren assessed through the (adapted) Analytical Dysgraphia Inventory, which recognizes difficulties in writing through the tracing the graphics. RESULTS: A total of 22% (n = 138) of the sample presented all indications of dysgraphia; the most prevalent indicator was ascending/descending/fluctuating lines (53.6%). When the indicators were correlated to gender, males showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in most of them. Among the warning signs of co-occurrences, dyslexia was the most prevalent indicator (22%). CONCLUSION: Given the large number of warning signs of dysgraphia observed in schoolchildren, it is advisable to screen for these signs, in order to implement early interventions.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Os objetivos deste estudo foram caracterizar e comparar o desempenho perceptivo visual e qualidade de escrita de escolares com dislexia e com bom desempenho acadêmico, e relacionar as habilidades percepto-viso-motoras e a qualidade de escrita de escolares com dislexia e com bom desempenho acadêmico. MÉTODO: Participaram deste estudo 40 escolares, sendo 35 do gênero masculino e 5 do gênero feminino, na faixa etária de 8 a 11 anos e 11 meses, que frequentam do 3º ao 5º ano de escolas públicas municipais de Marília-SP, divididos em dois grupos: grupo I (GI), composto por 20 escolares com o diagnóstico interdisciplinar de dislexia, e grupo II (GII), composto por 20 escolares com bom desempenho escolar. Como procedimento, foram utilizados o Teste de Habilidades Perceptuais Visuais - TVPS-3 e a Escala de Disgrafia. RESULTADOS: Os resultados deste estudo revelaram que os escolares com dislexia apresentaram dificuldades nas habilidades visuais referentes à discriminação e à memória. Além das habilidades de discriminação e memória, também foi evidenciado desempenho inferior nas habilidades de relação viso-espacial e constância de forma, e desempenho inferior de todas as habilidades visuais em comparação à idade cronológica. Entretanto, o grupo de escolares com bom desempenho acadêmico também apresentou desempenho inferior nas habilidades de relação viso-espacial e constância de forma. CONCLUSÕES: O estudo aponta para o fato de que, talvez faltem investimentos da escola em atividades que envolvam experiências visuais e viso-motoras, que propiciem o desenvolvimento das habilidades visuais necessárias para o desenvolvimento da leitura e da escrita. Mesmo sem a ocorrência de diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos deste estudo para a disgrafia, é possível observarmos que um maior número de escolares disléxicos apresentou presença de disgrafia.


OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to characterize and compare the visual perceptual skills and writing quality of students with dyslexia, with good academic performance, and to relate the perceptual visual motor skills and the writing quality of students with dyslexia, with good academic performance. METHODS: 40 students participated in this study; 35 males and 5 females, from 8 to 11 years and 11 months, who attended from the 3rd to 5th grade level of public municipal schools of Marília-SP, divided into two groups: Group I (GI) comprised 20 students with interdisciplinar diagnoses of dyslexia, and Group II (GII) comprised 20 students with good academic performance. The Visual Perceptual Skills Test - TVPS-3 and the Disgraphy Scale were applied. RESULTS: The results obtained from this study showed that the students with dyslexia presented difficulties in visual skills concerning discrimination and memory. Besides discrimination and memory skills, it was observed inferior performance concerning the relation visual spacial skills and steady form, and inferior performance in all the visual skills, when compared to the chronological age. However, the group of students with good academic performance has also presented inferior performance concerning the relation visual spacial skills and steady form. CONCLUSIONS: The study mentions that maybe schools do not invest sufficiently in activities which envolve visual experiences necessary for the enhancement of reading and writing. Although statistically significant difference was not observed between the groups concerning disgraphy, it iwas possible to observe that a higher amount of students presented disgraphy.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features of Chinese dysgraphia and then probe into its mechanisms in a patient with semantic dementia(SD).MethodsThe patient with SD finished the writing part of the Aphasia Battery of Chinese (Aphasia Battery of Chinese,ABC) and the Chinese agraphia battery (Chinese agraphia battery,CAB ) in addition to a series of other neuropsychological tests.Results( 1 ) On the Wechsler Adult intelligence scale,the patient performed poorly on information and vocabulary with scores of 6/29 and 8/80,respectively.He spoke out only 11 names totally on the category fluency test within 1 minute,while 25 names or more than were normal.Semantic features test showed he made 37 right answers of 60 questions,with scores of 8/20 on category,7/20 on function and 8/20 on nature features.(2)The writing disorder exhibited Chinese aphasia agraphia with obvious difficulty in forming characters,wrong characters of the same pronunciation or the same form or unrelated errors,and grammatical impairments.Its damage from serious to light occurred in picture writing( 6/40),writing sentences to convey meaning(1/10),dictation(11/40) and automatic writing(35/40).The transcription was relatively preserved (40/40 ). (3)He scored 20 and 19 points on MMSE and MoCA.Executive function was damaged significantly,while recent memory was preserved relatively.ConclusionThe patient with SD shows an impoverished store of general knowledge and poor comprehension of single-word.The nature of SD's dysgraphia presents Chinese aphasia agraphia,undoubtedly due to progressive deterioration in semantic memory.More importantly,its error types and distribution show apparent discrepancy from that of alphabetic script.Presumably because Chinese writing system is logographic in nature and the pathway of comprehension concerning syllable-orthography-morphemes mapping,while alphabetic writing system follows a principle of mapping graphemes on-to phonemes and letters themselves dont stand for any meaning.

ABSTRACT

A 10-yr-old HbE/Beta thalassemia child who developed subacute to chronic occipitotemporal hemorrhagic infarct with smaller chronic infarct with gliotic changes in the left frontal periventricular white matter. Genetic tests showed that patient was positive for HbE and IVS1-5 mutation and was negative for thrombogenic mutations. Hemorrhagic infarct was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging study. Antigenic levels of Protein C and Protein S were low. Based on these outcomes, it was concluded that Protein C and Protein S deficiency were the causative factor for developing hemorrhagic infarct in the HbE/ Beta thalassemia patient.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: avaliar a relação entre sinais indicativos de disgrafia e desempenho acadêmico. MÉTODOS: foram incluídas no estudo 25 crianças, matriculadas na 3ª. série do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública da Região Metropolitana de Campinas/SP, sem histórico de lesão cerebral e/ou déficit intelectual. Quanto à idade, 21 tinham nove anos e quatro tinham dez anos; 12 eram do sexo masculino. A avaliação foi realizada por meio da Escala de Disgrafia (Lorenzini, 1993) e do Teste de Desempenho Escolar (TDE) (Stein, 2003). RESULTADOS: seis crianças apresentaram sinais indicativos de disgrafia. A maioria dos alunos teve desempenho acadêmico classificado como inferior em escrita (15/25) e em aritmética (10/25). As crianças com indícios de disgrafia (6/25) tiveram pior desempenho em escrita e aritmética no TDE, quando comparado às demais crianças, porém essa diferença não foi estatisticamente significativa. CONCLUSÃO: conclui-se que, neste grupo, não foi possível estabelecer a relação entre baixo desempenho acadêmico com escrita disgráfica, uma vez que tal dificuldade também foi identificada também entre as crianças consideradas não disgráficas.


PURPOSE: to evaluate the relationship between indicative signals of written difficulties and cadmic performance. METHODS: twenty five children, students from the 3rd grade in the elementary education school of a public school in the metropolitan area of Campinas/SP took part in this study (12 boys), with age varying between 9 and 10. The tools used for evaluation were the scale of written difficulties (Lorenzini, 1993) and the test of school performance (Stein, 2003). RESULTS: considering the group performance, it was verified that a great number of students had written academic (15/25) and arithmetic (10/25) difficulties. The children with indicative signals of written difficulties (6/25) had inferior performance in writing and arithmetic, when compared to the ones who did not have difficulties. However, this difference was not significant. CONCLUSION: we can conclude that in this group, it wasn't possible to correlate academic difficulty to writing difficulty, since it was that such academic difficulty was also identified among the children who did not have written difficulties.
