[Emancipatory rehabilitation in logopedics -- comments from the medico-rehabilitative viewpoint (author's transl)].
In the Federal Republic of Germany speech disturbances, as sub-group of communication disorders, are treated by two professional groups: a) free practising logopedists who chose their team themselves as well as logopedists who are working in a clinic team and b) "Sprachheilpädagogen" (speech therapists) working at special education facilities. Irrespective of the age of the patient, treatment by logopedists is paid by the health insurance funds; special education therapy is paid by the financially responsible school agencies. The basis of the disease is not a deviation but a disturbance of the central nervous system which can be determined by medical, phoniatric-neurological diagnostic means.
