Introduction to the Program

Mejora tus conocimientos en Applied Psychology for Speech-Therapy Intervention a través de este programa, donde encontrarás el mejor material didáctico con casos clínicos reales. Conoce aquí los últimos avances en la especialidad para poder realizar una praxis psicológica de calidad”

Conocer cuáles son las necesidades educativas específicas que se derivan de los diversos trastornos de la comunicación, una vez definido, ayudará a diseñar e implementar modelos de intervención tanto generalistas o ambientalistas en la línea de adaptación del lenguaje del adulto descrita por Rondal J.A. en los 90, pasando por modelos funcionales en la línea de Monfort y hacia modelos más específicos centrados en la pragmática como expone Belinchón, M. (1992).

Es fundamental considerar los aportes de la psicología a la práctica diaria en las aulas y en los gabinetes, de manera que los especialistas en logopedia, tanto clínica como escolar, sean capaces de abordar la diversidad de situaciones que se presentan en los diferentes contextos educativos. No se trata tanto de un método único de intervención que sería muy reduccionista, sino de ajustar los diferentes modelos a la neuropsicología y el contexto de cada sujeto.

Esta formación aúna conocimientos básicos en psicología y en logopedia, así como herramientas que permiten al logopeda buscar la mejora del desempeño con sus alumnos en aquellas áreas que demanden intervención, ofreciendo las pautas necesarias que provoquen los cambios y la normalización de los procesos comunicativos alterados.

Restaurar y reeducar patronos de comunicación, habla y lenguaje conlleva pautas, rutinas, esfuerzos y motivaciones que tienen un ritmo de desarrollo diferente en cada sujeto. Las variables psicológicas inciden directamente sobre el estado del alumno y sobre su evolución, por ello es tan importante tener conocimientos básicos psicológicos, que nos ayuden a comprender al alumno y a reorientar sus conductas. En definitiva, la intervención logopédica requiere modificar conductas de forma semejante a un trabajo psicológico.

Una oportunidad de aunar, en un mismo programa, logopedia y psicología aplicada para llegar a la excelencia terapéutica haciendo uso de las herramientas aplicadas tanto al ámbito de la educación como a otros escenarios”
