Abstract
There are a number of different interventions available to the speech-language specialist. All interventions have their benefits, but not to all students. Because of the many models available, however, the speech-language specialist should be able to find one that meshes with his or her working style and is beneficial to his or her clients. This speech-language pathology paper discusses the the pull-out intervention model and offers support for its use.

From the Paper
"At one time, speech-language specialists in a school setting worked in isolation from the rest of the teaching staff. This isolation was not merely physical; rather, the lesson plan used by the speech-language specialist existed in isolation as well. With legislation that requires integration of all subject programs--including those like speech therapy--this model of speech-language therapy delivery has changed. The number of speech-language specialists in the schools will increase, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook, due to the influx of specialists coming under contract to fill these requirements (par. 22).

In section three of the paper, the author speaks of the histological features of the brain the protein deposits and the changes that may have taken place over the years in the specimen in question. The final section of the paper relates to the disease-modifying therapies currently being researched.

Abstract
This paper looks at seven different perspectives on social problems: social pathology, social disorganization, value conflict, deviant behavior, labeling, critical perspective and social constructionism. It explains the theories, where and when they originated, and their main concepts, strengths and weaknesses.

From the Paper
"Social pathology covers all of the social problems of society and originated in Western Europe with ideas of equality and new ideas on man's primordial perfection, social conditions' changeability and humanism. The recognition by occidental society of the existence of social problems really began by secular rationalism which transformed problems and conditions from the context of Good and Evil to those of Understanding and Control and the expansion of humanism and institutionalized compassion. Later on..."

Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper
"The speech-language pathologist is one who treats individuals with "speech, language, voice and fluency disorders" (U.S. Department of Labor, 1997) Specifically the speech-language pathologists treats those who are unable to make sounds of speech or who cannot make those sounds clearly as well as those with problems in speech rhythm and fluency. One example of this is stuttering. Direct clinical services are provided by the speech-language pathologist to individuals who have communication disorders."

Abstract
This paper discusses Freud's and Radcliffe-Browne's notions of of pathology in relation to states of individual and social normativity. The paper gives special relevance given to their use and denotation of "normativity."

From the Paper
"Freud provides a more elaborate description of pathology (introducing definitions of perversion and neurosis) that is grounded in the individual human psyche, while Radcliffe-Brown confines his discourse to functioning social structures. Despite the overarching difference in scale, organic versus superorganic, both share varying degrees of similarity along the comparative axes of theoretical analogy, intention, concepts of adaptation, and conclusions about the effectiveness that their theoretical postures can have upon future scientific advancement.

Abstract
The paper explains that dysphagia means difficulty swallowing and it is sometimes referred to as a symptom, sign or a condition on its own. The paper relates that it is not uncommon for people with dysphagia to not know that they have it. The paper asserts that swallowing disorders are common at all ages, and many times, dysphagia is a result of a congenital abnormality. The paper explains that structural damage is also a cause of dysphagia as are other medical conditions, and dysphagia is evident more with the elderly especially those who have had strokes. The paper notes that children also have dysphagia due to congenital abnormalities, and medical conditions that cause dysphagia are head and neck cancer, Parkinson's diseases, Multiple Sclerosis, Shy-Drager syndrome and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract
Dysarthria is a condition that is a consequence of neurological impairment. The speech symptoms of dysarthria tend to be highly varied depending upon the nature of the original neurological damage and differential rates of recovery. This paper shows that, as a result, dysarthria can be a complex disorder to treat. Given that a number of studies have found that speech rate reduction strategies generally have a positive impact upon individuals with this disorder and this is shown in the paper.

Abstract
This is a detailed paper about eating disorders and anorexia. The paper describes the symptoms, the segment of the population most affected by eating disorders, the physical problems prolonged eating disorders can cause and some the environmental, physiological and psychological conditions that might predispose some to developing an eating disorder. The paper also explains that there are far more women with eating disorders than men and points out that this is an important factor in determining the causes of eating disorders. Additionally, the paper discusses treatment methods and prevention programs.

From the Paper
"Eating disorders and anorexia are becoming more commonplace today, and this is true particularly of young women, although older people and men sometimes also suffer from them. It is important to look at this issue as it relates to body image and how one feels about one's body, but also important to see it in the light of the way that one trusts oneself and others, and the hope for the future that is sometimes absent from the lives of these individuals. Such problems as depression can often play a large role in whether someone has problems with body image and eating disorders."
