Articulation and phonology - assessment and diagnosis Flashcards

1
Q

What are the minimum requirements of a speech assessment?

A
  1. Single words (standardised ax)
  2. Spontaneous speech sample
  3. Consistency assessment
    + OPE and stimulability testing if required

Q

Key diagnostic information from speech assessment

A
  1. What they attempted to produce
  2. What they actually produced
  3. What was produced correctly
  4. What was produced incorrectly
  5. Nature of incorrect pronunciation
  6. Extent (% occurrence) of phonological processes/other errors

Q

What is independent analysis vs relationship analysis of speech data?

A

Independent = looking at child’s unique system without reference to target/adult phonology - inventories
Relational = looking at child’s system relative to ideal target/adult phonology - percentages

Q

Steps of independent analysis

A
  1. What is present - consonant inventory, vowel inventory, syllable-word shapes inventory, syllable-stress patterns inventory - match these for child’s age
  2. What is not present - inventory constraints (absent sounds), positional constraints (WI vs WM vs WF), sequential/phonotactic constraints (C/V combinations not used)
  3. Stimulability - for sounds that aren’t present try to elicit in isolation/syllables/words providing verbal/visual/tactile/auditory cues

Q

How can stimulability to used to differentially diagnose?

A

Differential diagnosis of articulation (phonetic) and phonological disorder relies on whether an accurate production of the speech sounds in error can be elicited - if a speech sound is not stimulable, it is an articulation disorder

Q

What is relational analysis?

A

Using single words and connected speech to determine:
- Percentage consonants correct (PCC)
- Percentage phonemes correct (PPC)
- Percentage vowels correct (PVC)
- Phonological processes analysis

Q

How to measure severity (3)

A
  1. Effect of disorder on intelligibility
  2. Degree of concern caused for child/caregiver/teacher
  3. Consequences of disorder (eg. academic, social)

Q

3 core executive functions involved in phonological impairment

A
  1. Working memory
  2. Inhibition
  3. Cognitive flexibility
17
Q

What is the difference between phonological short term memory and phonological working memory?

A

Phonological short term memory = ‘hold’
Phonological working memory = ‘hold and manipulate’

17
Q

What is the difference between phonological short term memory and phonological working memory?

A

Phonological short term memory = ‘hold’
Phonological working memory = ‘hold and manipulate’

18
Q

pSTM and pWM in phonological impairments

A

Phonological delay = decreased pSTM and decreased pWM
Phonological disorder = intact pSTM and decreased pWM
