Jingchu Network (Hubei ** Network) News (Correspondent Zheng Lili, Yang Xingzhou) Fancheng Xiaobao (pseudonym) just turned five years old this year, but his speech is slurred, often saying "airplane" as "", "grape" as "less", "brother" as "de", recently, Xiaobao in Xiangyang City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the help of pediatricians after a month of training, oral language has been corrected.
The child did not start talking until he was two years old, later than other children of the same age, and at first he did not pay attention to it, but then he realized that although the child could speak, it was difficult for his family to understand what he said. According to Xiaobao's mother, in January this year, seeing that Xiaobao would turn 5 years old, he still had difficulty communicating with others, so she took him to Xiangyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for treatment.
Liu Zhengmao, deputy director of the pediatric department of the hospital, received Xiaobao, after listening to the description of the parents, first conducted a physical examination for Xiaobao, and after excluding physiological structure and mental defects, Xiaobao was assessed for dysarthria, and it was found that the wrong phonemes were: P, F, Z, C, T, N, ZH, CH, SH, R, J, Q, G, K, etc., and the articulation clarity was 3784%, their oral motor function is slightly weak, the lip strength is moderate, and the tongue cannot be completed upward, so they are diagnosed with dysarthria. Subsequently, the child was treated with TCM syndrome differentiation for heart and kidney insufficiency, and TCM brain meridian massage was used to stimulate the central language area, cooperate with auricular pressure beans, regulate the viscera, dredge the meridians, and reconcile the qi to improve the child's physique.
According to the assessment results of the child, Shi Guo Hongmei formulated a training plan for him, first focusing on the P and F sounds, because the P sound is a bilabial sound, with the help of the lips to pronounce, and it is also an aspirated sound, so in the articulation language training, it is necessary to repeatedly teach the child to train lip smacking, lip pursing, and other lip movements; secondly, the training of oral perception is given, and the hot and cold tactile stimulation is carried out around the mouth, as well as the massage of the jaw and face and lips to enhance sensitivity; Thirdly, breathing support training is used to practice breath with exercises such as blowing, blowing bubbles, and blowing candles. Fourthly, through the training of listening and pronunciation, the children are gradually guided to understand the correct pronunciation parts and methods, and then practice monophony-syllable-words-phrases-sentences-generalization into life. After a month of non-stop practice, Xiaobao's spoken language was corrected.
Children generally begin to speak gradually after the age of one year, the language clarity of children at 20 months is only 25%, the language clarity of children at 30 months is improved to 50%, and the language clarity of children reaches 93% after the age of 4. "For children who have no physical and intellectual defects, no language development delay or overall developmental disorders, but have persistent articulation problems compared with children of the same age, they often need to seek training from a speech teacher to correct them. Guo Hongmei introduced.
In terms of daily protection, parents should understand that children before the age of three are in the stage of language contact development, and should first promote the development of children's language ability as the main goal, rather than forcibly correcting their mispronunciation. At the age of three or four, when children can express meaning in complete sentences, this is a good time to deal with articulation problems. If it is found that the child's pronunciation is still unclear before entering school, it is recommended to go to the relevant medical institutions as soon as possible to do a comprehensive assessment, adhering to the principle of early detection, early prevention, and early development, take corresponding measures to intervene, and carry out professional training.
