Other Selected Publications

30 November 2008 SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPY IN PRACTICE MAGAZINE COVER STORY: HOW I USE ELECTROPALATOGRAPHY (1) “In his [Gabriel’s] case treatment needs to address respiration and phonation instead of articulation to try to improve his intelligibility. We didn’t know this before his speech was evaluated by EPG…”
When traditional therapy techniques were not proving effective with two boys who have dysarthria due to dyskinetic cerebral palsy, Ann Nordberg, Elvira Berg, Goran Carlsson and Anette Lohmader offered real-time visual feedback through EPG.
(2) “…for a person whose intelligibility is severely reduced and who – for whatever reason – cannot use AAC, EPG could be worth pursuing even for small gains.”
Lesley Anne Smith explains how EPG had a small but important impact on articulatory dyspraxia and intelligibility of a patient who had suffered a stroke.
