Intro Flashcards
What is inconsistency?
Multiple realizations in production of a target sound (???)
What are constraints?
Postural in nature (sound production in different positions of the word)
What are the three broad types of communication disorders?
Speech disorder, language disorder, and hearing disorder
What are the two types of disorders under the umbrella of SSDs?
Phonological disorder, articulation disorder
What are risk factors for SSD?
Male, family history of SSDs, low maternal education, low SES, AA race, prolonged OME, early mild-moderate HL of 35-40 db associated with OME
What is a sibilant?
/s/
What are the three broad types of speech errors?
omissions, substitutions, distortions?
Which types of speech errors are associated with phonological disorders?
Omissions and substitutions (phonological processes)
Which types of speech errors are associated with articulation disorders?
Distortions
What is a delay?
Normal errors, mispronunciations happening later than would be expected ex: lisps, misarticulations of /r/ or affricates
What is a deviance?
atypical errors Ex: lateralization of sibilants, alveolar backing, vowel errors
Why does delay often lead to deviance?
Impacts the foundation??
What is the order of the continuum of concern/ treatment?
Semantics-phonology-morphology-syntax-pragmatics-discourse
What are possible causes for SSDs?
Typically unknown, may be related to language deficit, family history, tongue thrust, speed sound discrimination difficulty, OM with effusion, genetics, motor speech involvement, hearing loss, cleft palate
What is the prognosis for children with a phonological disorder?
Poor–difficulty in solving initial problems. Almost always have reading/writing disorders due to poor PA skills
