dc.description.abstract | Speech anomalies have been described as characteristic symptoms for
the 22q11 deletion syndrome. However, research on speech and voice in adults
with the syndrome is still scarce. Previous research has indicated that speech and
voice anomalies seen in children with the syndrome might have neurological
causes. The aim of this study is to investigate speech and voice in a group of
adults diagnosed with the 22q11 deletion syndrome, with extra focus on
anomalies with possible neurological cause. The researched group consisted of
24 adults between the ages 19 to 38 with a verified 22q11-deletion, 16 women
and 8 men. A blind, perceptual assessment of audio-recorded speech material
was carried out by two speech pathologists. They assessed 30 variables designed
to evaluate dysarthric symptoms. The results indicated that speech-, and voiceanomalies
were present within the group. The variables most commonly seen
were partially the same as in hypokinetic dysarthria. Conclusions were that
speech- and voice-anomalies were present within the group but since the
reliability was low, no strong conclusions could be made about the severity of
the anomalies. | sv |
