that involves impairments in reading,
spelling and writing. A connection
has been made between language
impairment and dyslexia. For exam-
ple. preschool children are more
likely to develop dyslexia if they arc
slow in developing language, have
auditory memory and word naming
problems, and have a short attention
span. Researchers indicate that a core
deficit in phonological awareness
(e.g., awareness of speech sounds
and Idler name) is an enduring ora)
language difficulty in children and
adults with reading problems.
A speech-language pathologist,
who identifies, assesses, and treats
speech and language problems, is the
professional to consult when a parent
is concerned about their child's
speech and language development.
An audiologist may also be involved
in evaluating a child's hearing to
judgmental manner.
Volunteers are asked to make a
onc-ycar commitment to tutor,
according to Lynn Yasser, library
literacy coordinator.
Each trained volunteer will be
matched with an adult student to
provide one-on-one tutoring once or
twice a week.
Registration is required for the
workshop. Call the literacy office
by Sept. 5 to register. 596-7958.
Hepatitis A Case
Confirmed
Sheriff Stanley Glanz’ office
announces that the jail's medical
staff has confirmed that an inmate
has Hepatitis A.
When the 30-ycar-old inmate
was booked on July 25 for assault
and battery, the health department
reported he had been exposed to
Hepatitis A but was asymptomatic.
The inmate was isolated, therefore,
only inmates using the same facili-
ties are al nsk to become a Hepatitis
A carrier.
identify possible processing prob-
lems.
An evaluation by a speech-lan-
guage pathologist can include many
combinations of observations, non-
standardized or standardized tesLs of
word comprehension and naming;
understanding simple and complex
directions; sound sequencing and
discrimination; comprehension and
early use of time, number and spatial
concepts; appropriate grammatical
structures, and articulation. Although
skills may improve in time with
treatment and training, learning dis-
abilities are considered by many to
be a lifelong problem.

abilities and related problems or for a

opment in children, call ASHA’s
