Q

patterns of impaired comm. skills

A
  • MLU levels are reached at later ages
  • gram morphemes learned in the same order
  • fewer complex sentences, fewer elaborations and relative clauses
  • phonological processes used longer
  • more inconsistent artic errors
  • vocabulary leaned more easily than syntax
  • semantic relations expressed in a similar way as mental-age children
  • concrete words preferred to abstract concepts
17
Q

downs syndrome is caused by

A

an extra third copy of the 21st chromosome

18
Q

down syndrome symptoms

A 
mild to moderate IH
hypotonia
character face
hyper-flexibility of joints
ear anomalies (frequent otitis media) small canals
oral-motor difficulties due to structure
poor speech, language, and hearing
rough breathy voice
poor speech intelligibility
poor articulation
19
Q

downs syndrome strengths

A

semantic development
gestural use
reading

20
Q

fragile X syndrome

A

genetic developmental disorder with intellectual and behavioral disability symptoms

21
Q

fragile X syndrome

A

language delay is often first sign
early hypotonicity, sensory defensiveness, poor sucking and chewing and drooling
visual memory
can learn to read
imitation of what they see and hear
delayed expressive language and slow development
syntax most affected
reduced intelligibility
some dyspraxic qualities (planning, sequencing, execution of fluent speech)
fast, uneven speaking rate
hoarse, breathy voice quality; uneven loudness
sensory deficits
blindness
deaf-blindness
hearing impaired

22
Q

otitis media

A

middle ear occlusion

23
Q

otitis media solution

A

tube insertion for ventilation

24
Q

sensorineural

A

cochlea iimpairment

25
Q

conductive

A

external or middle ear

26
Q

softest sound we can hear

A

0dB

27
Q

sound level that causes pain

A

120 dB

28
Q

mild hearing impairment means you cant hear

A

high frequency sounds (/s/)

29
Q

hearing loss is identified as loss of more than

A

70dB

30
Q

cochlear implants

A

sends (via a speech processor) a pattern of electrical impulses to the electrodes in the cochlea - the auditory nerve carries the signal to the brain where the signals are interpreted as a form of hearing

31
Q

risk of cochlear implants are that they

A

completely destroy any residual hearing

32
Q

requirements for CI

A

must have bilateral profound HL
receive minimal benefit from amplification
be enrolled in auditory therapy
have no other medical contradictions

33
Q

after CI surgery

A

speech processor is activated
electrodes are gradually turned on (mapping is 9 mo process)
auditory and speech/language therapy is needed

34
Q

successful outcome of CI depends on

A

age of implantation
cognitive skills
support education
