Class one and two Flashcards
Speech is:
Articulation, Fluency, and Voice
Articulation
(Form) Motor production of speech sounds
Fluency
The flow of speech, rate and rhythm
Voice
Vocal quality, pitch, Loudness and resonance
A communication disorder is
the impairment in the ability to receive, send, process, and comprehend concepts, including verbal, nonverbal and graphic symbol systems (writing) (ASHA, 1993).
Communication disorders
Speech, Language, Hearing, Central Auditory processing.
A Speech Disorder is
used to indicate oral, verbal communication that is so deviant from the norm that it is noticeable or interferes with communication.
Articulation Disorder
Precise oral motor production of speech sounds
Fluency Disorder
The flow of speech, rate, and rhythm
Voice Disorders
Vocal quality, pitch, loudness and resonance.
Language disorder:
impaired comprehension and/or use of spoken, written, and/or other symbol systems.
May involve one or more of the following: Phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
Hearing Disorder:
Impaired auditory sensitivity leads to a hearing impairment. (hard of hearing, deaf)
Central Auditory Processing Disorders
difficulties with information processing of auditory signals that are not the result of hearing impairment.
Articulation is the
Subcategory of speech
Phones: The actual production
Articulatory motor processes.
Example: The child’s “r’ -production , refers to the speech sound or phone production of [r]. (does not change the meaning of the word)
Phonology is the
Subcategory of language
Phonemes: When combined with other units, distinguish meaning between words
Understanding of sound systems within a language
Ex: The child’s understanding that phonemes ‘r’ and ‘w’ can change the word’s meaning
Two words that differ in only one phoneme value are called minimal pairs (e.g., ring, wing).
Phone
Exact production of the sound
Phoneme
sounds that differentiate meaning between two words
Ex: sap and zap
Phonotactics
Allowed combinations of phonemes in a particular language
E.g., “sh”+ ”v” does not occur in American English; however, it occurs in German (schwein for “pig”).
Speech sound disorders
is an umbrella term referring to any difficulty or combination of difficulties with perception, motor production, or phonological representation of speech sounds and speech segments—including phonotactic rules governing permissible speech sound sequences in a language.” (ASHA)
Articulation disorder
Atypical articulation: substitutions, omissions, additions and distortions that may interfere with intelligibility
Can cause frustration
Errors-may be typical (age-appropriate) or atypical (non age-appropriate)-depending on the age
Phonological Disorder
Impaired understanding of the phonological system of a particular language.
If a child is producing swing, sing, ring, and wing as wing- the child is not using the required phonemic contrasts to indicate differences between these words (sounding identical).
Phonetic inventory
List of all phones produced
Phonemic inventory
List of phonemes the child used to differentiate meaning
Phonotactic constraints
Can they use target phonemes in all possible positions of the word? For example, a child might use /k/ in cat but cake would be /kei/
Deeper look into Phonology
The study of how phonemes are organized and function in a language.
List of all vowels and consonants in that language to differentiate meaning
(Function) linguistic understanding
(Types of SSD) Speech delay:
onset between 3 and 9 years of age, represented by significant speech sound substitutions and deletions that may become age appropriate with treatment.
