Introduction [excerpt]. Data on the habituation period needed for developing an optimal oral rest posture in individuals presenting with non-tongue thrust orofacial/speech/voice disorders is lacking. Jt was hypothesized that a target desirable oral rest posture could be established in adults within approximately three weeks, but that this would take children a lengthier period of time. The following is a summary of preliminary obseNations obtained from 1 O adult clients and 1 O pediatric clients on a hospital speech pathologist's outpatient caseload. Full article

The authors examined 113 subjects between the ages of 9 and i 4 years, 59 males and 54 females, in the town of Santa Maria, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Dental/ orthodontic assessment revealed that 12 had normal occlusion, and 66 had Class I, 18 had Class II division 1, 7 had Class II division 2, and 10 had Class Ill malocclusions. For the analysis of the speech articulatory disorders, the Yavas, Hernadorena & Lamprecht (1992) adapted test was used. A list of words was selected that had all phonemes of the Portuguese language, in all possible positions in the words. A tape recording was utilized for later analysis of the speech sample and a phonetic transcription of the words was done. Results indicated that the 12 subjects with normal occlusion did not have speech-articulatory disorders; however, there were correlations between malocclusion and articulatory problems. Twenty of the; 13 subjects (17.7%) were identified as having malocclusion and articulatory disorders. This study attempted to define possible relationships between malocclusion and fonoarticulatory disorders. Full article

The incidence of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) has been investigated in several populations, including the general population, orthodontic patients, preschool children, and elementary school children. However, there has not been a systematic study of the prevalence of OMO among school children receiving speech and language services through the public schools. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has recognized a need for basic descriptive research regarding the various components of OMO and the interaction of those components with each other and with speech and language disorders. Therefore, the present study was designed to: 1) provide data regarding the incidence rates of OMO among children identified with speech and language disorders in grades kindergarten through six, and 2) investigate possible correlational relationships between the presence of various components of OMO with each other and with the presence of speech and/or language disorders. Two hundred children in grades kindergarten through six from various school districts in Fresno County, California were tested for the presence of various OMO components through examination of the orofacial complex. The resulting data was subjected to statistical analysis to determine the percentages of occurrence, and the possible relationships among various OMO variables were explored through cross tabulations and the Pearson Chi-square formula.
