Listy klinické logopedie 2023, 7(1):49-56 | DOI: 10.36833/lkl.2023.015581  

This paper demonstrates the application of the preliminary version of a new diagnostic tool for assessing children's early phonological skills. The results of the first application are presented in two case studies. The rationale for the adaptation of the test is that in Slovakia there are no structured tests assessing phonological skills, specifically designed for children at an early age. Quantitative descriptions of children's phonetic repertoires, their ability to name test items and a comparison of their performance, as well as the course of administration indicate that the Slovak version of PEEPS-S has the potential to become a valuable assessment...

Listy klinické logopedie 2023, 7(1):40-48 | DOI: 10.36833/lkl.2023.009292  

The article focuses on the neuropsychological evaluation of selected cognitive functions in patients with diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGG) who underwent awake craniotomy (surgery performed on the patient while conscious and alert). This surgical approach requires the patient's commitment and the cooperation of an interprofessional team. The most important benefit is that it allows the patient's cognitive functions to be monitored

Listy klinické logopedie 2023, 7(1):19-26 | DOI: 10.36833/lkl.2023.008386  

Congenital myotonic dystrophy is the most severe form of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder. Myotonic dystrophies are primarily degenerative, genetically determined and progressive disorders of skeletal and smooth muscles. Myotonic dystrophy represents multi-organ diseases, and causes diseases of the eyes, heart, endocrine and central (but sometimes peripheral) nervous system. Speech and language therapy for a CDM child is recommended from the moment of their birth, because there is a higher risk of dysphagia. This paper presents the role of a Clinical Speech Therapist in the diagnosis and therapy of a patient...

Most children with this diagnosis have intellectual disability. The aim of this case report is to present a two-stage diagnostic procedure, applicable to individuals with symptomatic speech impairment based on combined intellectual and physical disabilities, so that the subsequent therapeutic approach can be targeted....
