ACO: PRACTICAL CASES U1

Read the cases and identify what language disorder they suffer from and what characteristics define it.

Case 1: 

Juan is a three-year-old boy who has a big tongue that also causes hypersalivation. He has difficulties in the pronunciation of some phonemes since the mobility of the oro-facial praxis is compromised.

Case 2: 

Andrés suffered a stroke during an operation. After this operation, the intonation, rhythm and fluency of his speech, as well as the articulation of the words are correct. However he says words without meaning and shows difficulty in repeating those that the doctor tells him.

Case 3: 

Luís, a 7-year-old boy who presents hesitations and interruption in rhythm in spontaneous speech. However, follows classes normally because his understanding is not altered.
