Intro to Pediatric Speech Sound Disorders Flashcards
1
Q
prevalence of SSDs
A
- “young children” 8%-9%
- first grade 5%
- 2015: 67.6% of children with speech concerns received intervention
2
Q
in children with communication disorders
A
- 47% of 3-10 year olds had speech concern only
- 24% of 11-17 year olds had speech concerns only
3
Q
risk factors for SSDs
A
- male (1.5-1.8 males to 1 females)
- prenatal factors
- postnatal factors (e.g. preterm)
- hearing loss
- persistent otitis media
- reactive temperament
- positive family history
- low parental education level and income (for phonological awareness skills)
- oral sucking habits
4
Q
the pacifier debate: for
A
- sleep!
- reduced risk of SIDS
- quicker transition to oral feeding in preterm infants
- reduced pain during medical procedures
5
Q
the pacifier debate: against
A
- increased risk of ear infections
- GI and diarrhea
- oral candida
- malocclusion
6
Q
oral candida
A
yeast infection in the mouth
7
Q
malocclusions
A
over bite, cross bite
8
Q
potential effects of thumb and finger sucking
A
- altered breathing
- abnormal tongue rest posture
- incorrect oral functioning patterns
- altered use of the oral musculature
9
Q
prevalence of SSDs: neutral factors
A
- race
- language
- younger siblings
10
Q
prevalence of SSDs: protective factors
A
- female
- persistent temperament
- older siblings
11
Q
children with speech deficits
A
- 25%-50% have age-appropriate language skills
- 50%-75% have some deficits in language
12
Q
of the 50%-75% of children with both speech and language deficits
A
- 60%-90%: language production deficits
- 10%-40%: mixed receptive and expressive deficits
13
Q
impact of SSDs
A
- literacy difficulties (read, write, spell): 30%-77%
- math difficulties at 6-9 years of age
- more likely to drop out of school
- less likely to attend college
- difficulty making and maintaining friendships
- more bullying
- lower self-esteem
- difficulty acquiring and keeping a job
- often employed in semiskilled/unskilled jobs
- workplace discrimination
14
Q
critical-age hypothesis, highest risk
A
children who SSD does not resolve by the time they begin to receive reading instruction
15
Q
co-occurrence, literacy difficulties
A
- phonological awareness
- decoding
- encoding (spelling)
- written expression
16
Q
co-occurrency, even higher risk
A
- atypical/non-developmental speech errors
- co-occurring language impairment
17
Q
etiology of SSDs
A
- functional (unknown)
- organic (known)
18
Q
functional SSDs
A
- most children
- most articulation and phonological disorders
