July 2nd Slides Flashcards
What is STEP ONE of evaluation, Planning, and Treatment for the Child with Cleft Palate? What are 3 other things you should do within the first step?
Step One: Always have parents sign a release allowing you to communicate with the treating team Also: Send your results Address your concerns Don’t hesitate to ask questions
These slides discuss collaborative care in what 3 contexts?
Collaborative care in:
cleft palate
velopharyngeal dysfunction
craniofacial differences
If you provide early intervention in the home what 2 things should you be familiar with?
Art and Science of the Home Visit:
Stredler Brown, A. (2005, Jan. 18).
The ASHA Leader, pp. 6- 7, 15.
List reasons why you would sign off on early intervention in the home.
– If the parent requests it
– If the parent is willing and able to learn the new skill
– If the parent understands the reasons for using it
EDUCATE WELL!!!!!
List reasons why you would not sign off on early intervention in the home.
– If the parent is stressed or not coping well
– If the parent may have difficulty learning a new skill
– If the parent may have trouble understanding the reasons for introducing sign
– If it may cause the parent to think their baby will not talk
It may be inadvisable to spend time and resources on what with early intervention in the home for a child with cleft palate?
on a skill we will want the child to lose
What may be a better use of resources for the child with a cleft palate instead of spending time and resources on a skill we will want the child to lose.
Teaching parents to be excellent language teachers
What should you do if If maladaptive/compensatory articulations are present in early intervention age children with cleft palate? List 3 examples.
advise family on extinction techniques
- Don’t imitate the troublesome sounds!
- Model prolonged vowels
- Model easy onset
What should you teach the parent to teach in at home early intervention.
- Good language stimulation • Helping the child to listen
- Prolonging Vowels
- Anterior articulation
- Anterior blowing
How many children with cleft palate will require speech therapy in childhood?
50% to 75%
How many children with cleft palate will require secondary velopharyngeal management?
4-38%
What is the most common speech disorder in children with cleft palate?
articulation
What kind of speech should you expect in the neurologically normal child with a cleft?
normal speech
What is the only way true velopharyngeal dysfunction can be treated?
with physical management, NOT with speech therapy
What can kinds of errors can speech therapy correct?
maladaptive/compensatory errors
What is the ONLY thing that can correct maladaptive/compensatory errors?
speech therapy
What can speech therapy correct?
articulation
Name 4 articulation error types.
Developmental
Obligatory
Maladaptive
Adaptive
Developmental error.
- May not necessarily be related to the cleft
* Will respond to the same treatment as non-cleft children on your caseload
obligatory (passive)
- Distortion caused by a structural anomaly
- Will not respond to therapy, there is no need to treat.
- Some can be tested in evaluation, some can be tested in therapy
Adaptive error
- Difference in production caused by structural difference
- Acoustically appropriate
- Examples: [p,b,m] with macroglossia – [f,v] with anterior crossbite
- No need to treat!
Maladaptive
or “Compensatory”(CMA) “ Active errors”
- First described by Trost-Cardamone in 1981
- Further delineated by Peterson-Falzone and others
- Believed to develop as a compensation for defect of mechanism before or after palate repair
Examples of Maladaptive
or “Compensatory”(CMA) “ Active errors”
glottal stop pharyngeal stops and fricatives (and affricates) mid dorsum palatal stops posterior nasal fricative velar fricatives (voiced and unvoiced) ingressive fricatives
How to test? Obligatory vs. Maladaptive
Velopharyngeal:
Do articulation testing with the nose plugged and unplugged
How to test? Obligatory vs. Maladaptive
fistula
Test articulation with the fistula plugged and unplugged
How to test? Obligatory vs. Maladaptive
dental
Diagnostic therapy to see if changing tongue placement alters distortion
Form Hypotheses and Develop a Treatment Plan
Developmental: treat or not?
Same guidelines apply as with children without cleft
Form Hypotheses and Develop a Treatment Plan
Obligatory/passive:
do not treat with speech therapy
