Q

These may be associated with other neurological conditions, such as CP or genetic disorders. The language acquisition of a child would be dependent on what is affected.

A

Sensory Impairments

  • Hearing impairments are usually what affects language acquisition normally.
  • If only one sensory modality is impaired, except hearing, then the child is likely to acquire language normally.
21
Q

During the first year or two of life, the child’s level of sensory impairment may not be known, hence we look at (if they can do this) ____ & ____ since these are likely to be affected by the impairment

A

Reciprocity & Joint Attention

22
Q

If a child has visual impairments, how can we tailor AAC for them?

A
  • If a child is visually impaired, utilize hearing and provide tactile symbols
23
Q

This developmental disorder causes difficulty in making precise motor movements for speech. Alongside this is difficulty producing individual sounds and sequencing those sounds to make words and phrases

A

Childhood AOS

24
Q

T or F:
Children with AOS have relatively good RL skills but poor EL skills

A

True

25
Q

When is it okay to use AAC as a mode for intervention for children with AOS?

A
  • If the condition does not improve after motor speech intervention
  • If you are considering either a development or activity/participation mobility approach
26
Q

This type of impairment affects the development of receptive and expressive language skills.

A

Specific Language Impairments (SLI)

27
Q

T or F:
Children with Specific Language Impairments (SLI) have normal verbal cognitive abilities.

A

False (NON-VERBAL cognitive abilities)

28
Q

T or F:
Children with Specific Language Impairments (SLI) require early intensive intervention and typically benefit from early introduction of signs and symbols to support spoken and written language.

A

True

29
Q

Delineate Developmental conditions from Acquired/Degenerative Conditions

A
  • Developmental conditions are conditions wherein language is acquired ATYPICALLY but will make progress
  • Acquired/Degenerative Conditions are conditions wherein they acquire language TYPICALLY and have been a competent spoken language user
30
Q

This is an acquired condition caused by a head injury, a stroke, or a tumor. Symptoms may vary depending on what part of the brain is affected and can be temporary or permanent. They usually have aphasia, with Brocka’s, Wernicke’s, Global, and Anomic being common.

A

Head & Brain Injury

31
Q

T or F:
For a patient with Global Aphasia, the AAC would often be visualized with diverse and contextualized words.

A

False (Yes/No questions would be more beneficial; diverse and contextualized words are for Anomic Aphasia)

32
Q

This syndrome is a rare degenerative condition that predominantly affects girls.

A

Rett Syndrome

33
Q

At what month/s do signs (global delay, low muscle tone, feeding difficulties, and abnormal hand movements) appear for those with Rett Syndrome?

A

6 - 12 months

34
Q

At what timeframe does rapid regression occur for those with Rett Syndrome?

A

1 - 4 years

35
Q

This condition refers to a group of muscle-wasting conditions.

A

Muscular Dystrophy

36
Q

A popular condition of Muscular Dystrophy

A

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

37
Q

Those with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) will have their legs weakened at what age frame?

A

7 - 11 years

38
Q

Those with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) will have their arms weekend at what age frame?

A

12 - 14 years

39
Q

T or F:
Those with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) are typically placed in ventilators at the age of 18 - 30

A

False (20’s - 30’s)

40
Q

This condition describes a group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases which attack the motor neurons and lead to weakness and wasting of muscles

A

Motor Neuron Disease (MND)

41
Q

T or F:
In Motor Neuron Disease (MND), senses are not generally affected, but usually behavior is

A

True

42
Q

T or F:
Early recommendation of AAC for Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a priority

A

True

43
Q

This refers to a group of conditions of the Central Nervous System (CNS). The symptoms depends on which part of the CNS is affected but usually includes problems in balance, vision, fatigue, bladder, bowel, stiffness of movement, tremors, swallowing, speech, memory or cognition.

A

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

44
Q

It is a neurological disease that is progressive in nature, whereby dopamine is reduced, leading to tremors, slow movements, and stiff, inflexible muscles.

A

Parkinson’s Disease (PD)

45
Q

These are usually used as as accessory for AAC boards to prevent mishits.

A

Key Guards

46
Q

This is considered to be the most common cause of dementia and is caused by changes in the chemistry and structure of the brain. This usually results to memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving, and language. AAC for this would usually be limited to memory support

A

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)

47
Q

At what age does Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) progresses?

A

65 or older

48
Q

This is a hereditary neurological disease which affects movement, cognition, behavior, and language. An emphasis on behavior and communication as this would likely be helped with AAC.

A

Huntington’s Disease (HD)

49
Q

Top 3 Conditions of AAC Users

A

1st - AD
2nd - PD
3rd - ASD
