Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increase in children’s communication disorders which has attached a growing health, medical and social significance to the issue. This finding represents an additional reason for the proposed article which reflects the results of many years of screening studies of the specified contingent in the administrative units of Bulgaria. It also contains a comparative analysis of experimental and clinical data from cities and rural areas. It is found that articulation disorders has the widest prevalence, with polymorphic dyslalia accounting for 6.8% and the monomorphic type for 28.7%. Stuttering ranges from 1.8 to 2.4% for preschool and primary school age. An increasing incidence of hyperactivity and attention deficit, as well as autism, is also noted. The study identifies significant relationships between environmental factors (physical and social ones, health care, cultural health traditions) and the prevalence of the abovementioned disorders. Our own practical experience, literary studies and international practices confirm the exclusive benefits from introducing computer-aided communications (CAC) among experts, patients and their families in a variety of configurations and temporal work modes. Transforming this electronic form of remote health services and activities into an objective of national importance will support personal health management which should become a part of the health awareness of recipients of speech therapy and their families.
