[Some thoughts on the adaptation of technical aids for children with cerebral palsy (author's transl)].
The technical aids used by children undergoing inpatient treatment at a centre for the cerebral palsied were critically assessed over a one-year period. Of the evaluated technical aids 50% were optimal for the child under consideration, the remainder was inappropriate for one or more reasons. The most frequent amongst the non-optimal were either not medically prescribed or adequately adapted and tested. The children in question are hence threatened with unnecessary deformations, an insufficient utilisation of their development potential and a lower degree of independence. Also, the financially responsible agencies have to cope with considerably larger expenditures.

Aids for speech-handicapped.
An improved electrolarynx is described. It provides handcontrolled fundamental frequency which enables the user to approximate natural intonation patterns, thus overcoming the monotony of speech with conventional aids. Training experiments with normal and with laryngectomized subjects have given promising results. A voice amplifier has been developed. Special care has been taken to minimize acoustic feedback problems. It is used for compensation of any weak voice, including esophageal speech and as a supplement to the electrolarynx for increasing the sound output and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The use of synthetic speech in aids for anarthric patients is discussed.
