Articulation & Phonology Flashcards
Speech Sound Disorders
- Articulation
- Childhood Apraxia of Speech
- Phonological Disorder
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
impairment of motor speech programming w/ little or no weakness, paralysis, or incoordination of the speech musculature
Articulation disorder
difficulties in the motor production of speech sounds
Phonological Disorder
speech (linguistic) sound disorder that affects a child’s ability to pronounce certain sound patterns needed to say words clearly
What kind of abilities are we born with?
to perceive every phonetic contrast of sounds of our own language and other languages
protoword
children mapping meaning onto their babbling production
ex.) foo foo-> milk
Babbling importance
children who babble with great complexity of more consonant production show more language growth
Are phonological processes part of typical development? When are we worried?
Phonological processes are patterns of sounds errors that typically developing child use to simplify speech as they are learning to talk. Considered a disorder when they persist beyond a certain age.
categories for phonological processes
- syllable structure
- assimilation
- substitution
What articulators are involves in sound articulation?
tongue, lips, teeth, alveolar ridge, hard/soft palate, velum, nasal cavity
How can consonants be described?
- voicing-vocal folds vibrating
- place- parts of construction in vocal tract
- manner-air flow constricted in the vocal tract
How can vowels be described?
- advancement-point of major construction
- height-how closed/open sound is
- lip configuration-rounded/retracted lips
- tenseness-muscle tension
Do phonological processes impact just one sound?
No, phonological processes affect whole class of sounds
What do SLP’s do when testing for speech sound disorders?
standardized testing, oral mechanism exam, speech language sample, intelligibility, stimulability
