- Prepares the child for social access to the Deaf community.
- Amplification is not a requirement for success with ASL.
- Child needs to have access to deaf/and or hearing adults who are fluent in ASL as well as being educated about Deaf culture.
.
Any individual who has difficulty in speech perception needs _________.
speechreading
Any individual who does not respond appropriately to speech even with the use of hearing aids or cochlear implant need ______.
speechreading
Who needs speechreading?
- Any individual who has difficulty in speech perception.
- Any individual who does not respond appropriately to speech even with the use of hearing aids or cochlear implant.
How can the speaker facilitate speech reading?
- Best if face-to-face or within a 45 degree angle of speechreader
- Normal rate of speech (up to 15 phonemes per second) or slightly slower is best
- Extremely slow and exaggerated speech does not assure comprehension
- Facial expressions and gestures are extremely helpful
How can the speaker hinder speech reading?
- Poor articulating/mumbling
- Fast or slow speech (without good rhythm)
- Someone with an accent
- Speaker with a mustache
- Emphasis on particular words , unless there is a facial expression associated are difficult to grasp.
- Over-exaggeration of articulators does not help the speechreader.
- Vocabulary level should match the level of the speech reader.

What are the objectives necessary to develop cross cultural awareness to be an effective clinician? There are 4.
- Be aware of the diversity between cultures.
- Develop sensitivity awareness for cultures other than your own (including Deaf culture)
- Develop cultural specific awareness and understanding by reading and asking individuals who can serve as a “cultural guide”.
- Respect individuals from other cultures.
What are the signal and code factors that affect speechreading?
- Visemes: Distinguishiable visual characteristics of phonemes (th, f)
- homophenes - Phonemes that appear the same
- homopheneous words - words that appear the same (pet, bed).
- In conversational speech, most phonemes occur in the medial position and are less identifiable that they are in isolation.
- Visibility -Many phonemes are not visible. Voicing is also a feature that is not visible.
- Speed - due to the rapidity of connected speech, many articulatory movements occur for a short period of time.
- Redundancy allows the speechreader to fill in the parts of the message that were missed.
- Short sentences are easier to read than longer sentences.
- Frequently used words are easier to read than less frequently used words.
What are three environment factors that affect speechreading?
- Distance: 5 feet between speaker and speeechreading is optimal.
- Lighting: Should provide contrast between speaker’s face and background. Lighting source should not be behind speaker.
- Angle: 0-45 degree angle is best
What are the visual factors that affect speechreading? (6)
- The light should allow the speaker to be easily visible to speech reader.
- The distance should be sufficient to allow for the face, particularly the lips, to be clearly visibly.
- The obscurity of many speech sounds (homophoneous words ex. bill and pill) make speech reading difficult.
- The rapidity of the formation of speech sounds makes it difficult to read.
- Hidden sounds such as /j/ (as in you) or /h/ for which there is no movement are difficult to speech read.
- The speech reader should face the speaker in the beginning but should eventually practice speech reading from different angles.
_________ strategies structure the environment and situation to facilitate communication.
Facilitative
