(and longer duration and higher intensity)

43
Q

Which of the following statements about Juncture is correct:

A

Juncture describe the way sounds are joined or separated

44
Q

The patient produces distorting sounds. The articulators are not placed in the right place and the sound comes out wrong. Longer and complex words are particularly difficult to pronounce.

What kind of speech disorders is the patient most likely to have?

A

Apraxia

What kind of speech disorders is the patient most likely to have?

A

Dysarthria
