A child is referred to your office for a hearing screening by the pediatrician for a cloudy eardrum. The child is 2 years old and only speaks 5 words as reported by his mother. She stated her pregnancy was unremarkable, but her son was born at 37 weeks and was 5lbs (low birthweight). He passed the follow-up hearing screening at birth and is meeting all his other milestones. No reported ear infections, head trauma or hospital stays. The child’s hearing is normal, bilaterally.
Do you have concerns about this child’s speech and language development? Why or why not? How would you counsel the mother? Would you make any referrals? If so, to which professional(s)?
Do you have concerns about this child’s speech and language development? Why or why not? Yes, low birth weight and could be a late talker
How would you counsel the mother? Up to 80% of late-talkers resolve without intervention/spontaneously. Narrate your day, get a SLP eval Would you make any referrals? If so, to who? Pediatrician, AZEIP, SLP
What are possible causes/comorbid conditions for a specific language impairment (SLI) (select all that apply):
Autism
There is no known cause/comorbid conditions for a SLI
Intellectual disability
Shaken baby syndrome
Brain injury
Autism
Intellectual disability
Brain injury
What is early intervention and who provides it (people and/or agencies)?
enrollment in therapy services as early as possible, funded by the state (headstart/AZEIP or privately), SLP, audiologist, parents (birth to 3)
Limited awareness of the irregular speech pattern; presents with excessive whole word repetitions, unfinished words and interjections (well, um)
cluttering
Presents with (secondary) avoidance and struggle behaviors
stuttering
Speech delivery rate which is either abnormally fast (“machine-gun speech”), irregular, or both
cluttering
Heightened awareness of communication difficulties; the forward flow of speech is interrupted abnormally by repetitions or prolongations of a sound
stuttering
The longer the stuttering continues, the less likely it is to be resolved and the more likely it is to increase in severity.
true
What hearing threshold level is considered normal for children? Why (what listening situations do they struggle with)?
15dB HL speech in noise, reverberation and talker variability
According to the week 2 NPR study, babies cry in an intonation pattern similar to the language of their primary caregiver.

Why is the wait-and-see approach worrisome for some children with a speech and language delay? How can the trajectory of speech and language acquisition give insight to the need for early intervention?
Not all children will spontaneously recover from a S/L delay or disfluency. Early intervention can aid those who might not catch-up/spontaneously recover; children tend to stay on the S/L trajectory and therefore delaying intervention will put/keep them further behind
Patterns of sound errors that typically developing children use to simplify speech as they are learning to talk.
phonological processes
Name two motor speech disorders
dysarthria & apraxia
Caused by a stroke or other CVA
Fluent/fluid language disorder where the patient does not comprehend questions
Damage to the temporal lobe
wernicke’s aphasia
Caused by a stroke or other CVA Damage to the frontal lobe
Non-fluent expressive disorder where the patient knows what they want to say but can’t or requires tremendous effort to do so
brocas aphasia
Labial, dental, palatal, velar, glottal
place
Vocal fold vibration
voicing
Stop, fricative, affricate, nasal, glide
Manner of articulation
At what severity are most people referred for dementia?
moderate
Historically, what has been the typical reading level of a deaf child using hearing aids in a mainstream classroom or that attends a Deaf school?
4th gradae
Birth to 6mo, normal hearing and children with profound losses verbalize very differently.
false
What are some features or concerns of a child with a unilateral hearing loss (UHL)? select all that apply:
Hears well in quiet
Difficulty localizing sounds
Difficulty hearing in background noise
More attentive in class
All of the above apply to UHL
Hears well in quiet
Difficulty localizing sounds
Difficulty hearing in background noise
5 variables that will affect speech and language development in children with hearing loss
Age of HL onset
Age of identification
Type/degree/configuration of loss
Early intervention
Auditory experience (input=output)
Expressive language skills
Use of sensory aids
Cognition
Mode of communication
Comorbid conditions
Why is the auditory feedback loop so important (in terms of receptive and expressive speech)?
Receptive: Hear sounds to decode speech. Hear to repeat sounds. Hearing is also used to decode meaning in voice inflections, rhythm of connected speech and stress patterns. (2 pts) Expressive: Words are not just words, they don’t always mean the same thing depending on the intonation. For mature speakers, audition acts as an error detector and a means of monitoring speaking conditions
What is prelingual vs. post-lingual hearing loss? How does it affect speech and language development?
prelingual hearing loss before S/L acquisition
post-lingual hearing loss occurs after S/L acquisition
Much more difficult to acquire S/L with prelingual hearing loss, post-lingual speech may degrade depending on the severity and course of treatment
Approximately what grade-level do children go from “learning to read”, to “reading to learn”?
3rd grade
errors of teeth, tongue, cheek placement/inability to correctly form the sounds of words
articulation disorder
child struggles to understand the sound system and the rules surrounding speech
phonological disorder
