Exam 2 Flashcards
Structure and Function of Oral Mech exam
assesses speech structures: lips, tongue, teeth, mandible, hard palate, soft palate, nose, pharynx, and larynx. Assess oral function during nonverbal contexts, during speech contexts and during feeding.
Submucosal Cleft
A separation of the muscle in the soft palate in which mucous membrane covers the defect. These children may exhibit hyper nasality, nasal emission, and problems with velopharyngeal closure. May present with a blue tint or whitish color upon examination along the border of the hard and soft palate. May also appear as a notch of the hard palate and bifurcation of the uvula
Ankyloglossia
tongue-tie, a short, tight lingual. If suspected an SLP should consider the child’s ability to pronounce the alveolar consonants: /t, d, n, l, s, z, and lick their lips, and clear food from their gums. May impact articulation, indented tongue-tip on protrusion. May have trouble with dental sounds as well. Functional problems can include feeding problems, particularly breast feeding, as they age they may have difficulty moving a bolus in the oral cavity and clearing food from the sulk and molars. This could result in chronic halitosis and contribute to dental decay. Also dentition issues.
Malocclusions
may be due to hereditary or digit sucking, thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, early loss of teeth, jaw fractures following an accident
Angle’s Class 2
AKA Retrognathism, occurs when upper jaw or teeth project ahead of the lower jaw or teeth. Only affects speech if alveolar ridge is so far forward that the tongue tip cannot connect.
Angle’s Class 3
mesioclussion/underbite. Protrusion of the lower jaw and teeth in front of the upper jaw or teeth. Results in protrusion of mandibular front teeth and creates underbite.Has most detrimental effect on speech because it can affect ALL anterior speech sounds
Bifid Uvula
may be associated with submucosal cleft, not associated with speech difficulties
Distoclussion
Overbite, a malocclusion in which the lower teeth are distal to the upper teeth.
Angle’s Class 1/ Neutroclussion
mandibular and maxillary arches are in correct anterior-posterior relationship, individual teeth may be crowded, missing, atypical size, or in open bite relationship (introversion, supra version), some individual teeth or groups of teeth are misaligned. Normal Denton, within normal limits
Infraversion
the tooth is positioned below
Labioversion
buccoversion, the tooth is tipped toward the cheek or lip
Linguoversion
the tooth is lingual to the normal position
Supraversion
the tooth extends above the normal line of occlusion
Apertognathia
open bite, occurs when there is normal occlusion of the posterior teeth with no occlusion of the posterior teeth with no occlusion of the front teeth. May impact articulation. Excessive overbite
Overjet
upper incisors are too far anterior relative to lower incisors, front teeth slightly slanted and hang way over the bottom teeth
Spontaneous Speech Sample
assessing using a variety of contexts, conversational speech sample, allows evaluation of speech rate, intonation, stress and syllable structure and is most representative of the individuals phonological performance. Recommended is a minimum 100 different words, adequate size would be 200-250. Sample during play, retell, picture description, sentence repetition and passage reading.
Rugae
ridges behind the teeth, associated with a tongue thrust. Forward tongue position when swallowing. Prominate rugae may indicate an abnormally narrow or low palate, open mouth posture, forward tongue when swallowing and a possible tongue thrust
Torus Platinus
hard palate with bony growth, benign peculiarity wherein there is a bony outgrowth on the palate. It is a normal bump on the roof of the mouth, not cancerous, painful or sore. Comes in different shapes and is hard upon palpation. Only real affects a client being fit for an appliance.
Finger-Thumb Sucking
may cause malocclusions
What is Independent Analysis
only what the child says matters, they are not compared to adult speech, determines the phonetic inventory. Only track the sounds they say without comparing to adult language. Asks the question, What sounds do they have? Determines the use of syllable and word shapes by phoneme. CV, CVC etc. Looks at phonemes and phoneme patterns and provides baseline information in terms of where treatment may begin
Assessments: Phonemic Inventory Form, Analysis of commonly occurring syllable and word shapes
What is Relational Analysis
Child’s speech is compared to an adult, Determines the use of phonological processes, determines the percentage of consonants correct. Compare to an adult. Review the child’s speech sample for syllable structure process/patterns, substitution processes/patterns, and assimilation processes/patterns. Uses the Percentage of Consonants Correct Analysis Procedure SODA
Components of Relational Analysis
May be performed on a connected speech sample, after sample is transcribed, sound changes are described using phonological patterns determined by the examiner.
1. Must have adequate number of opportunities are present for demonstrating a pattern, a minimum of 4
2. list all sound changes and mark all possible PP for each sound change
Analyzing the results
1. Is the PP is occurring at a clinically significant rate, minimum of 20%-40% occurrence is clinically significant
2. Is there PP across a sound class, isolated errors are NOT considered PP
3. Determine patterns present
4. determine patterns that should be considered for treatment
Describe the child’s pattern if there is one
Calculate the child’s percent occurrence for processes
0-49% severe disorder, 50-64% moderate/severe, 65-84% mild-moderate, 85-100% typical
Phonetic Disorder
Errors result from difficulty in producing the sound sequences of the language, difficulty executing motor movements for speech sound production
Children with more than 1 language
Interferance/transfer can occur, adding native language features into the non native language. Phonological development affected especially when the phoneme does not exist in the 1st language. Phonotactics (the arrangement of sounds within a given language) is also affected. Learned rhythmic features in L1 affects the learner in the new language. Code switching/mixing may occur where the speaker alternates between L1 and L2. As they become more proficient in the new language they may demonstrate language loss in L1.
Articulation Impairment
Type of SSD characterized by speech sound errors typically involving sibilants and/or rhotics (typically /s, z, r, er) Motor speech difficulty involving the physical production (articulation) of specific speech sounds. SPEECH PERCEPTION difficulties may underlie an articulation impairment, Can they tell the sounds apart?
Phonological Disorder
Most common type of of SSD, using speech sound errors incorrectly in a given language even though the motoric movements can be executed adequately.
Phonemic level is sound patterns, linguistic level may have difficulty organizing the sounds, produce sounds but not in the word
Articulation Disorder VS. Phonological Disorder
Articulation: phonetic disorder, although speech sounds may be distorted, word meaning is usually preserved. The problem is phonetic, use SODA to classify errors. Usually limited to only a few sounds
Phonological: difficult to understand because many of their words sound the same, phonetic contrast between words is lost EX: sea as tea and tea as tea Significantly impairing speech intelligibility and associated with language problems
Cooing, laughing, making vowel like sounds
between 6-16 weeks
crying and burping but not laughing
0-6 weeks
marginal babbling
4-5 months
Inconsistent Speech Disorder
SSD characterized by inconsistent productions of the same lexical item (word).
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Motor speech SSD associated with difficulty planning and programming movement sequences, resulting in dysprosody and errors in speech sound production. Diagnostic markers: inconsistent errors on repeated attempts of the same words (vowels and consonants), difficulty with prosody in the phrases and words, lengthened and disrupted transitions between syllables and sounds. More distortions
Purposes of Assessment
Evaluate the nature of the disorder by sampling, analyzing, and specifying characteristics:
- describe phonetic proficiency of individual
- determine if sound system deviates from the norm
- determine direction, form, frequency of RX
- make prognostic statements

Standardized Assessments
articulation/phonological assessments
Phonological Patterns
patterns of sound errors that typically developing children use to simplify speech as they are learning to talk
Backing
when alveolar sounds like /t/and /d/ are substituted with velar sounds like /k/ and /g/
Shriberg’s Early 8 consonants
profile of consonant mastery based on the average percent correct in continuous conversational speech, used in children aged 3-6. Three stages of phoneme acquisition
Early 8: /m, b, j, n, w, d, p, h/
Backing
when alveolar sounds are substituted with velar sounds
