Znaczenie wczesnej diagnozy odruchów oralnych i oddychania dla rozwoju mowy

Abstract

The article is an attempt of presenting the variety of diagnostic influences in the area of early stimulation of the spheres which will condition the development of a child’s speech. The beginning of the process is an early diagnosis of the reflexive oral reactions in newborns and infants, especially in those from the risk group i.e. born from pathological pregnancies and labours, with malformation syndrome, genetic disorders or improper development of alimentary and cognitive functions. The study presents the possibility of diagnosing selected areas and an assumption that the best way of stimulating the development of the central nervous system is taking care for the proper course of the basic physiological and functional operations within the speech organ from the childhood – that is also the manner of taking in food and breathing as well as cognitive functions. The author of the article discusses the normative development of reflexive oral reactions and respiratory functions. She also sets the course of the diagnostic action as well as points to the most useful tools of neurologopedic diagnosis in the area of early intervention.
