Q

In the first step of core assessment, What are some possible things to cover in a case history

A

General identification info (name, age, gender, contact info, caregiver info)Birth history:(pre/peri/post-natal, jaundice, cyanosis, trauma, APGAR score 7-10 normal)Communication: (1st word/phrase? Intelligibility? Fluency, speech characteristics etc)Hearing: (Otitis media?responds when called from different room? Follows instructions? etc)Developmental: (motor milestones-crawl, situp, walk, self-feed? etc)Medical: (Seizures, asthma, allergies, measles, high fevers etc)Educational /School: (Any concerns from teacher?)Psychosocial: (siblings, other adults at home, playmates, strategy for handling frustration? type and level of play, attention, joint attention, intentional communication etc-tx prequisites)Dental: (any concerns?)Nutrition/Swallowing: (drooling, tongue thrust, gagging, head extn for liquids –gravity use etc)Areas of concern identified by Care Givers, othe

Q

List some disadvantage and disadvantage of single word testing

A

> not representative of connected / natural speech.> Single word tests poorly correlated to speech intelligibility > Often only a single opportunity to produce each sound in each word position exists (attention confounds) > Not all word positions tested for each phoneme > don’t look at vowel production & few clusters

16
Q

How shoul SLPs score errors on single word tests

A

Full word IPA transcription: precise, info on process, vowel distortions, misarticulation

17
Q

The final core assessment is collecting a spontaneous speech sample - what does this involve?

A

> Start with standard artic tests > Use age appropriate stimuli to elicit speech> 100 word min, 200-250 perferred> Diverse sample (picture descript, story telling)> DO live transcription

18
Q

What is Stimulability (optional)

A

Testing a child’s ability to correctly produce a misarticulated sound when stimulated by the clinician.

19
Q

When would you want to test for Stimulability (optional) ? What 2 things will this test help you determine?

A

If there is more than 1 sound involved in the error, run stimulability testing: > To determine which sound you will target in treatment > To determine which complexity level (e.g. syll, word, phrase, sentence) and cueing level you want to start treatment

20
Q

When testing stimulability what level do you start at and how do you proceed?

A

> Start at word levelIf they struggle:> Increase cues (in 2-Demensions)> No success go to Syllable level> No success go to IsolationIf good at word level:> Go to Phrase and then sentence level

21
Q

What are the 3 demensions of the 3-D model of stimulability?

A
  1. Time (Temporal domain), 2. Space (cues), and 3. Complexity (linguistic level)
22
Q

How can we manipulate the temporal domain (From easier to harder)

A

Simultaneous (Say it with me), Direct imitation (say it after me), Delayed imitation and spontaneous

23
Q

How can we manipulate the Space domain (From easier to harder)

A
  1. Aud + Visual + Tactile cue2. Aud + Visual cue3. Auditory only
24
Q

How can we manipulate the level of complexity domain (from simple to complex)

A
  1. Isolation2. Syllable3. Word4. Phrase5. Sentence
25
Q

_____ stimulability (easier to elicit) = rapid Tx success. Based on this should we target non-stimulable sounds or stimulable sounds?

A

High> B/c high stimulability means child is on verge of acquisition, may actually be better to target non-stimulable sounds because they won’t develop without treatment. > However it’s Recommended you choose a bit of both. Stimulable sounds reinforce success and motivation in Tx and lay foundation for development of non-stimulable items while non-stim targets induce widespread change in system.

26
Q

What are the 7 optional procedures?

A
  1. Stimulability testing (important for TX)2. Contextual facilitation testing (important for TX)3. Vowel testing (proposed core)4. Phonological awareness (important for DDX)5. Speech motor Testing (important for DX/DDX).6. Auditory discrimination tests (important for DX/TX)7. Cognitive Appraisal (not S-LP domain)
27
Q

Within optional category, what is contextual facilitation testing (3 main components)

A

> Using the context to facilitate phoneme acquisition1. Syllable stress: Always embed target in STRESSED position2. Word position: Where the sound is in the word (initial sp and tr/dr/gr clusters are easier)3. Adjacent sounds (feature sharing facilitates production - ex. using alvelors/velars to facilitate [r] ex 2. [ts] cluster easier for /s/ production like in cats)

28
Q

At the word position level, what are the two rules to determine what phonetic environments will be easier to elicit a target

A

Easier in phonetic environments that (a) share at least some articulatory features OR (b) reduction of articulatory load/complexity.

29
Q

Vowel testing is another optional procedure. what accounts for vowel distinctiveness in speech?

A

vowel distinctiveness is the product of tongue height, front-back and lip rounding/ spreading and it accounts for 50% of variance in speech intelligibility

30
Q

Vowels are largely neglected by most articulation tests except…?

A

exception DEAP, New GFTA-3

31
Q

What 6 process errors can occur with vowels?

A
  1. Backing [I]→[ʊ] same height.2. Fronting [u] → [i]3. (de)centralization [ԑ]→ [ᴧ]; [ᴧ] → [ԑ]4. Raising /Lowering [æ]→[ԑ] (vice versa).5. Dipthongization [a] → [ai] 6. Harmony [tԑdi] → [tԑdԑ]
32
Q

True or false. Instead of running a full vowel screening you can simply listen to vowel errors on artic test and transcribe them?

A

True

33
Q

Review samanthas case of vowel errors

A

And ask aravind if ur right

34
Q

True or false, Children with phonological disorders often have deficits in PA abilities and are at risk for poor long term outcomes in reading and writing without intervention

A

True

35
Q

Phonological awareness, phoneme-grapheme correspondences, and phonetic decoding skills are indicators of ______ success.

A

reading

36
Q

What is the Informal testing of phonological awareness?

A

Phonological awareness skills test (PAST)-See RESOURCE hand out 9** need to work on if child missed >2 of 6

37
Q

What is the formal assessment of phonological awareness?(probs not super important)

A

Phonological awareness test-2 (5yr-9yrs)-40 minSubtests: Rhyming Discrimination, Blending Syllables and Phonemes, Graphemes etcFlexible Item Selection Task
