L5 Speech Sound Disorders Flashcards
consequences of a speech impairment on a child
- functional
- social interaction
- self-esteem
- frustration
- academic
components of a comprehensive speech evaluation
- Auditory discrimination
- Phonology/articulation test
- Stimulability assessment
- Phonological awareness
- Conversational speech assessment
- Oro-motor examination
- Hearing test
- Additional measures of overall development: motor, cognitive - refer to other professions
what is a stimulability assessment
- Phoneme repetition: “watch and listen to what I’m going to say, then you say it”
- Hierarchy: sound/syllable/word
- Cued stimulability
- Visual
- Phonetic (place/ manner of artic)
- Tactile
why do we test for stimulability
- To find out whether production is possible when elicitation conditions are modified.
- Better prognosis for stimulable sounds: may develop spontaneously
describe phonology/articulation tests
- Elicit spontaneous naming of pictures presented
- Test most consonants in initial/medial/final position
- Mostly single word responses
advantages of phonology/articulation tests
- Easy to administer and score
- Quick
- Data easily quantifiable
- Some provide standardised scores
- Document need for, and progress in therapy
disadvantages of phonology/articulation tests
- Single word production not necessarily representative of production in connected speech
- May not provide enough data for a phonological analysis
- May not test all sounds e.g. vowels, clusters
- Sounds not in comparable phonetic contexts e.g. words of varying length & complexity
- Different sounds before and after tested consonants
- Explores performance on a specific day, with specific items in a unique situation
why do we like the DEAP
it’s standardised for irish children
four assessments of the DEAP
- diagnostic screen
- articulation and oro-motor
- phonolgy
- inconsistency
diagnostic screen
DEAP
Name 10 pictures twice + speech sound stimulability
articulation and oro-motor assessment
DEAP
name 30 pictures, stimulabiltity, oro-motor including DDK screen
phonology assessment
DEAP
name 50 pictures, picture description task for connected speech
inconsistency assessment
DEAP
production of 25 words 3 times and ensure elicited the same way each time
what qualitative data is retrieved from the DEAP
- Phonetic consonant inventory
- Error patterns
what quantitative data is retreived from the DEAP
- DDK, isolated movements, sequenced movements
- PCC, PVC, PPC
- Single word vs connected speech agreement
- Inconsistency rating
