  2. Phonological errors
  3. Developmental errors
  4. Obligatory errors
  5. Compensatory errors
17
Q

Obligatory errors—

Compensatory errors—

A

articulation is normal, but the structural abnormality interferes; requires correction of structure only

articulation is altered due to structural abnormality; requires correction of structure and then correction of function through therapy

18
Q 
Obligatory Errors
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
A
  1. Hypernasality
  2. Nasalization of oral phonemes (m/b, n/d, ŋ/g)
  3. Weak or omitted consonants
  4. Nasal emission
  5. Short utterance length
19
Q

Compensatory Errors

1.
2.
3.

Note:

A
  1. Glottal stops
  2. Pharyngeal fricatives
  3. Pharyngeal plosives

These can also be due to mislearning in the absence of VPI

20
Q

Stimulability

Stimulability—

Need to determine…

Stimulability is…

A

the ability to correct an abnormal speech sound production when given minimal cues

whether change in placement eliminates nasal emission of hypernasality on that sound

Q

Auditory detection:

A

Cul-de-sac test

Stethoscope

Straw

37
Q

Differential Diagnosis

Determine whether ___________(due to misarticulation) or occurs on many sounds

To determine whether nasal emission is due to VPI or a fistula:

A

nasality is phoneme specific

  1. Test the difference between the /k/ sound (which is usually behind the fistula) and /t/.
  2. If nasal emission is not heard on /k/, the fistula is the source.
  3. If it occurs on both, but more on the /t/, there is both VPI and a symptomatic fistula.
38
Q

Nasal rustle (turbulence) with normal resonance

Largest

Large

Medium

Small

39
