Exam 5 Part 6

Question 1

Used to determine if the child needs an AR plan

Answer 1

Speech-language evaluation

Question 2

Normal hearing in one ear; a loss of 25 dB or greater in the other; at risk for language delay, decreased educational achievement, inattentive listening, behavioral issue

Answer 2

Unilateral hearing loss

Question 3

True or false: Those with unilateral hearing loss typically receive AR

Answer 3

False; do not

Question 4

Any degree of hearing loss where OAE is present and ABR is not present, affects the peripheral auditory system, poor speech recognition skills disproportionate to pure tone loss, hearing aids DO NOT help

Answer 4

Auditory neuropathy

Question 5

Breakdown in the efficiency and precision with which we hand auditory information; can interfere with the ability to learn; signal goes in normally, but processing gets messed up

Answer 5

Auditory processing disorder

Question 6

Determines the effect of background noise on processing. Similar to speech discrimination testing but with background noise.

Answer 6

Speech in noise

Question 7

evaluate skills used for reading (sounding out letters); affects learning, seen often in those with articulation trouble

Answer 7

Phonemic synthesis

Question 8

Evaluates various areas and levels of auditory processing. Results are classified.

Answer 8

Staggered Spondaic Word Test

Question 9

poor processing, usually at the phonemic level; slow to process speech and often demonstrates inaccuracies in the perception of speech.

Answer 9

Decoding

Question 10

What is decoding related to (3)?

Answer 10

receptive language, phonics, articulation

Question 11

What types of therapy do we use to improve decoding?

Answer 11

phonemic synthesis/sound blending, improve speech signal

Question 12

Difficulty in understanding speech in noise and problems with short term memory

Answer 12

Tolerance fading memory

Question 13

What is tolerance fading memory related to (2)?

Answer 13

reading comprehension, expressive language

Question 14

What types of therapy do we use to improve tolerance fading memory?

Answer 15

Integration

Question 16

What is integrating related to?

Answer 16

severe reading and spelling problems, delays in responding

Question 17

What types of therapy do we use to improve integration?

Answer 17

phonemic synthesis, improve speech signal, memory training, auditory-visual training

Question 18

Difficulty keeping auditory and other info in an orderly fashion.

Answer 18

Organization

Question 19

What is organization related to?

Answer 19

sequencing, organizing

Question 20

What types of therapy do we use to increase organization?

Answer 20

sequencing training, compensation (lists, scripts).

Question 21

What are some difficulties associated with central auditory processing disorder?

Answer 21

localize sound, auditory discrimination, listening in noise, music rhythm/melody, auditory memory
