Exam 1 Flashcards
What percentage of children have speech sound disorders?
50-80%
What is the relationship between early phonological disorders and emergent literacy skills?
positive correlation
What percentage of children with phonological disorders evidence academic problems?
50-70%
What percentage of SLPs in schools serve children with phonological disorders?
91%
What is IPA used for?
To provide a common vocabulary and symbol system for description of speech sounds
What is the clinical use of IPA?
To capture the relationship between target and obtained production (captures speech sound errors at the single word level and intelligibility in connected speech).
Guidelines for transcriptions:
Records speech, does not reinterpret orthography.
Rely on kinesthetic, auditory, and visual cues for own speech.
Rely on auditory and visual cues for other’s speech.
4 characterizations of misarticulations:
substitutions, omissions, distortions, additions
What does it mean that the etiology is organically based?
there is a presence of a structural anomaly related to congenial disorders or as a result of surgery. Hard to predict the relationship between ‘mild’ structural deficit and severity of articulation disorder
Down syndrome/ Trisomy 21
Cognitive impairments
Overall low muscle tone/ macroglossia
High frequency of otitis media
Hearing Loss
severe-profound levels impact speech-sound development significantly
Dysarthrias
Neurological source
slow, imprecise, uncoordinated movements
difficulty with execution (being able to reach targets in a timely manner)
pervasiveness, generalized, includes respiratory, laryngeal, and articulatory system
usually makes distortions
consistency in the error at various levels, slow rate will yield a positive response
Apraxia
speech motor programming impairment with little or no deficits in speech
neurological source
difficulty programming movements in a timely way
pervasiveness: articulatory system
types of errors: substitutions, deletions, additions
inconsistency in the error, slowing down does not help
What does it mean to have an ideopathic or unknown origin?
most represent some kind of speech delay
56% are genetically based; 30% are otitis media w/ effusion; 12% have psychosocial involvement
INTELLIGENCE and SSD
nonpredictive relationship. positive correlation if developmental delay is involved.
LANGUAGE DELAYS and SSD
60% of children with SSD have language problems
ACADEMIC PROBLEMS and SSD
robust correlation of SSD and emergent literacy (Matthew effect)
GENDER and SSD
young girls ahead in phonological development
