23
Q

T or F: Spontaneous speech in apraxia is more motorically/ hetero-organic than speech on imitation.

A

True

24
Q

T or F: “Go” is homo-organic (simple) and “open” is hetero-organically complex.

A

True

25
Q

What is the difference between aphasia and apraxia?

A

Aphasia is linguistic processes

AOS is motor programming

26
Q

What is the difference between dysarthria and apraxia?

A

Dysarthria is paresis, ataxia, akinesia, rigidity, dyskinesia or tremor
AOS is motor programming

27
Q

What is the difference between severe phonological and apraxia?

A

phonological is a speech sound disorder

28
Q

Differential Diagnosis:

Person has normal rate and can increase rate without increased errors

A

Aphasia

29
Q

Differential Diagnosis:

Substitutions (>1 feature from target) are less common than distortions (1 feature away)

A

AOS

30
Q

Differential Diagnosis:

Consistent location and type of error. Inconsistent repetitions.

A

AOS

31
Q

Differential Diagnosis:

Slow rate. Increasing the rate increases errors.

A

AOS

32
Q

Differential Diagnosis:

Long vowel durations and groping

A

33
Q

Differential Diagnosis:

No difficulty on OME

A

Severe phonological or AOS without oral apraxia

34
Q

Differential Diagnosis:

Decreased strength and coordination resulting in imprecision, slurring.

A

Dysarthria

35
Q

A

Severe phonological

36
Q

Differential Diagnosis:

Omission in final position more likely than initial

A

Severe phonological

Q

Differential Diagnosis:

Additions and tendency to omit initial sound

A

Apraxia of speech

38
Q

T or F: CAS goes away with treatment and time.

A

False - can have residual or resolved CAS but speech is still apraxic. Stress, fatigue and alcohol make it worse.
