DEVELOPMENTAL ARTICULATION/PHONATION/PHONOLOGICAL DISORDERS Flashcards
Dysarthria
Speech-motor disorder
- Voicing errors
- Bilabial and velar sounds»_space; easier than alveolar fricatives and affricates,
labiodental fricatives, and palatal liquids
- Stops, glides, nasals»_space; are easier than fricatives, affricates, liquids
- Treatment is repetitive and structured
- Intensive and systematic drill, modeling, phonetic placement and emphasis on accuracy of sound production
Apraxia
Motor programming disorder
- Not a result of neuromuscular weakness
- Slow, effortful speech
- Prolongation and repetition
- Omissions and substitutions
- Hypernasal and inconsistent nasal emission → impared motor
programming involving velum
- Inconsistency
- Groping and poor intelligibility
- Treatment involves extensive drills that stress sequences of movement
involved in speech production, imitation, decreased rate, normal prosody, increased accuracy
- Treatment is hierarchical → simple CV and VC to more complex
- Gains often slow
assessment
Single-word positions and conversational speech
- Presence of phonological patterns
- Performance based on developmental norms
- Evaluating stimulability of speech sounds that are misarticulated
- Identifying potential treatment goals
Case history, orofacial examination, hearing screening,
types of Evoked speech samples
Imitation - child initiates clinician’s model, can be immediate or delayed
Naming - clinician says “what’s this” and child names
Sentence completion
% of consonants correct - PCC
Calculates the severity of their speech problem
Total # of correct consonants produced x 100 / total # of consonants produced
> 85% - mild
65-85% - mild to moderate
50-65% - moderate to severe
<50% - severe
Phonological processes that disappear by age
3
Reduplication (wawa)
Weak/unstressed syllable deletion (nana for banana)
Consonant assimilation (nan for nap)
Prevocalic voicing (gat for cat)
Fronting of velars (tat)
Final-consonant deletion (ka 4 cat)
Diminutization → adding a “i” to the end of nouns (caty for cat)
Phonological processes that persist after age
3
Final consonant devoicing (roat 4 road)
Consonant cluster reduction → most persistent out of stopping, velar fronting,
FC deletion, and assimilation (top 4 stop)
Stopping (pat 4 fat)
Epenthesis (puhlate 4 plate)
Gliding (wed 4 red)
Depalatalization (teap for cheap)
Vocalization/vowelization (teacho 4 teacher)
DDECS-VG
Phoneme manipulations
- Phoneme manipulations move, change or modify the individual
sounds in words. - Elisions are the omissions of sounds in spoken words, and
- transpositions occur when the order of sounds in a word is
switched.
E.g. say seat but switch t and s
Place/manner of articulation
● Consonants are described by their place, manner and voicing
○ Place
■ places where the constrictions and obstructions of air occur.
■ Location of the sound’s production within the speech production mechanism
○ Manner- what happens to the air flow through the resonance and
articulatory systems
■ Degree or type of constriction of the VT during consonant production
■ Constriction of air flow- obstruents (stops, fricatives, affricates) and sonorants (vowels, liquids, glides)
Place of articulation
Bilabial (or ‘two lips’): Produced with the two lips: /b, p, m, w/ (as in ‘buy, pie, my, and wool’).
Labiodental (or ‘lip and teeth’): Produced with the upper teeth and inner lower lip: /f, v/ (as in ‘feel and veal’).
Interdental (or ‘between teeth’): Produced with the tongue tip on or near the inner surface of the upper teeth:
/θ/, /ð/ (as in ‘thick and then’).
Alveolar (or ‘behind teeth’): Produced with the tongue tip on or near the tooth ridge: /t, d, s, z, n, l/ (as in ‘to, do,
zoo, new, and light’).
Palatal (or ‘top middle of mouth’): Produced by the body of the tongue touching the roof of the mouth (in the
palatal area): /ʃ, ʒ, ʧ, ʤ, r, j-y/ (as in ‘shin, genre, chef, judge, red, and yes’).
*Note that the /ʃ, ʒ, ʧ, ʤ/ sounds are all pronounced with the front of tongue places on the top of mouth while the
/j-y/ one is pronounced with more of the rear of the tongue placed a bit further back on the palate than /ʃ, ʒ, ʧ, ʤ/.
Finally, the /r/ sound is made with the sides of the tongue placed on the sides of the roof of the mouth pressed
against the teeth.
Velar (or ‘top of throat’): Produced with the tongue body on or near the soft palate: /g, k, ŋ/ (as in ‘go, kite, and
bang’).
Glottal (or ‘from the throat’): Produced by air passing from the windpipe through the vocal cords: /h/ (as in ‘hi’).
Manner of articulation
■what is it
Constriction of air flow
what are the diff types of manner of articulation
■ Obstruents (stops, fricatives, affricates)
■ Sonorant- nasals, glides, liquids
■ Made with relatively open vocal tract
■ Stop- complete closure of VT at some point so there is no air flow,
thereby allowing pressure to build and then be released
■ Fricatives- noisy sounds caused by a turbulent air flow as the air stream
goes through a narrow constriction
■ Affricates- stop and fricative release
■ Nasals- airflow goes through nasal cavity
■ Glides- relatively open VT during production
■ Liquids- more vocal tract obstruction than glides or vowels
Types of sounds
■ Sonorants- produced with uninterrupted air
■ Obstruents- some type of air obstruction/constriction
■ Consonantal- partial/complete obstruction of airflow
■ Continuants- flow of air is not blocked at any point
■ Sibiliants- high frequency “hissing” sounds, air forced
through narrow opening- [s], [z], [ʃ], and [ʒ].
■ Stridents- produced with constriction, airstream hits 2
surfaces ([f], [v], [s], [z], [ʃ], and [ʒ].

Phonological disorders
● Rule-based errors in speech sound production
● Happen for all children, even typically developing children
● Language-based errors
● Etiology
○ Hearing loss
○ Disorders of unknown etiology
Substitution
A sound is substituted with another sound in a systematic way
subsitution processes

Backing
When alveolar sounds /t/, /d/ and /s/ are substituted
with velar or palatal sounds like /k/ and /g/.
