Neurological Examination Techniques of Speech in Bahasa Malaysia for Adults: Simple Approach Practiced in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia.

There are four classification levels for speech disorders namely dysphonia, dysarthria, dysprosody and dysphasia. In general, speech examination mainly focuses on three main components that are spontaneous speech, auditory comprehension, and oral motor examination. Quick bedside assessment on speech in Bahasa Malaysia is essential to assist the speech language therapist (SLT) and other physicians to determine the disorders. Speech therapy is also essential in monitoring and continuous assessment for patients with speech and language disorders such as dysphasia and dysarthria. Speech clinicians in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) have been adapting two most widely used batteries of speech assessment tools namely Western aphasia battery-revised (WAB-R) by Andrew Kertesz and Boston diagnostic aphasia examination (BDAE). These tools have been modified into simple and validated speech assessments in Bahasa Malaysia. This video manuscript will demonstrate the use of both tools in performing bedside speech assessment for patients with speech disorders. The Bahasa Malaysia speech examination should not be difficult when WAB-R and BDAE speech assessment tools are applied. The aim of this simple approach using the adapted version of BDAE and WAB-R is to assist the clinician to achieve quick and accurate diagnosis with a validated scoring system.

Neurology Of Childhood Learning Disorders, by Richard J. Schain, M.D. Baltimore: The Williams & Wilkins Co., 1972, 144 pp., $9.25

This publication is a landmark because it is the first systematic exposure of an approach to diagnosis and management of learning problems in children written by a pediatric neurologist. It, therefore, deserves careful critical attention. The author details his neurological examination techniques, discusses the concept of a brain damage behavioral syndrome, examines hyperactivity, minimal brain dysfunction, and developmental dyslexia, discusses other etiological conditions, then ends with chapters on general management and a diagnostic classification system.
