Exam 2 Part 4 Flashcards
What are 3 things we are looking for in an oral mechanism exam?
Anatomy, function, symmetry
An incorrect production of speech sounds because of faulty placement, timing, direction, pressure, speed, or integration of the movements of he mandible, lips, tongue, or soft palate
Articulation disorder
Errors of several phonemes that form patterns or clusters, which result from a child’s simplifying speech sounds and sound combinations that are used by normal speaking adults.
Phonological disorder
What are 3 areas to assess in speech sound disorders?
Biological, cognitive-linguistic, sensorimotor components
Basic structures of articulation (Vocal tract, nervous system, articulators) that allow us to produce speech
Biological
Allows the speaker to conceive something to say; The thoughts we have that get transformed into motor movements
Cognitive-linguistic
Includes motor programming and motor learning of actual sequences of physical movement; sensorimotor feedback loop
Sensorimotor acoustic component
Ability to produce a target sound is not within the client’s motor skills
Motorically based errors
The client can produce a sound but does not use the sound in appropriate contexts.
Cognitively or linguistically based errors
What does SODA stand for?
Substitution, omission, distortion, addition
What are some considerations we need to have before assessing speech sounds?
Anatomy and physiology, phonetics, phonological development, dialectical variation
When assessing speech sound abilities, the SLP will never rely completely on single word productions.
They may be able to produce single sound words but in multiple word utterances things can affect their speech production
Individual words are embedded within sentences, and can be affected by?
Stress, intonation, rate, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, syllable structure
single-word and connected- speech sampling is gathered for a _________ evaluation
Phonological
What are the 9 components of speech sound diagnostic evaluation process?
Background information, observation, standardized testing, language sample, oral motor examination/hearing considerations, phonological awareness and auditory discrimination, functional communication assessment, analysis and diagnosis, reporting
