Q
3 facts about language disorders
A
- quite common
- heterogeneous (often additional problems)
- enduring (continued difficulties)
- -> better long term outcomes for initial speech impairments than language impairments
- -> more favourable prognoses for specific LD than those secondary to other deficits
19
Q
3 groups that need help in the pre intentional stage

2. dyslexia (specific reading disability)
3. language impairments associated with other specific disorders
27
language based learning disability (LLD)
emerges when in school (reading and writing, literacy problems), intelligence is otherwise normal or higher, not the result of vision, hearing, handicap, emotions, or cultural differences
28
LLD 3 academic underachievement (in more than one of...)
1. receptive language (listening, reading)

32
SLI/LLD learner skills language problems
self monitoring, self advocacy, planning, organizing, independent work
33
dyslexia
deficit in decoding print (processing phonological features), despite adequate educational opportunity/exposure, used to be attributed to visual deficits (but was discredited),
34
3 features of dyslexia
1. impaired phonological awareness
2. difficulty decoding/encoding words (word sight exceeds sounding out)
3. read/spell with slow rate, poor fluency, lack of automaticity
- -> have good reading comprehension (if able to decode)
- -> have good written language content, organization (if able to decipher poor spelling)
35
ASD
neuro-developemental disorder, multifactorial aetiology, with/without other intellectual and language impairments
36
ASD 2 core symptom clusters
1. deficits in social communications and social interaction
| 2. restrictive, repetitive patterns of behaviours, interests or activities
37
ASD 3 typical early communication impairments
1. reduced communciative intents
2. fewer conventional gestures
3. immediate or delayed echolalia
38
ASD strengths/weaknesses in those who are verbal

3. omit grammatical morphemes
4. language pragmatics less flexible
44
Weaknesses in specific syndrome of Intellectual Impairments
1. Down syndrome --> form (morphology and syntax)
| 2. Fragile X --> use (pragmatics) - high co-occurance with fragile X and autism
45
areas of assessment for language disorders
decontextualized way (finding if they know the actual meaning) --> standardized tests
1. receptive (in context - familiar situation, nonverbal cues)
2. expressive (in context - spontaneous language sampling)
46
3 methods of assessment for language disorders
1. standardized (norm referenced) tests (PLS-5, CELF-5)
2. criterion referenced tests
3. language sampling
47
criterion referenced tests for language disorders
informal tasks individualized to child that probe particular communicative skills in depth (specific to a skill)
48
language sampling for language disorders - spontaneous language is 4 things:
1. recorded during natural interactions
2. transcribed verbatim
3. analyzed for target structures/uses
4. compared to age related criterion
- -> younger the kid, the wider the range of normal
49
Child language intervention - 4 service delivery approaches
1. modify environment
2. compensation
3. prevention/promotion
4. remediation
50
Child language intervention - modify environment
reduce language/literacy demands (facilitative language techniques), add supports (nonverbal, frameworks, outlines)
51
Child language intervention - compensation
give child tools to function better with limitations
e.g. model compensatory strategy --> support practice --> withdraw support until child uses independently (e.g. oh i can't think of that word, the first sound is sssss, or its soccer)
52
Child language intervention - prevention/promotion
prevent early, stimulate language, for children at risk, provide optimal environment parent training (e.g. it takes two to talk - hand program, temps child to communicate)
53
Child language intervention - remediation
improve childs language by teaching specific skills, traditional role of SLP, takes many forms
54
3 repudiation approaches for language disorders
1. adult centered (clinician directed - structures behaviourist approach)
2. child centered (indirect language stimulation during natural interactions)
3. hybrid (environment to elect targets and provide naturalistic reinforcement)
55
allophones
variations in the same phoneme (caT vs Take)
56
international phonetic alphabet (IPA)
42 symbols (18 vowel and 24 consonants)
57
3 IPA consonant classification
1. manner (how air is modified)
2. place (greatest closure in the vocal tract)
3. voice (vibrating of vocal cords or not)
58
6 manner of articulations
1. stop (plosive)
2. fricative
3. affirmative
4. nasal
5. liquid (tongue shape)
6. glide (sound like vowels - j (yellow) and w (white)
59
cognates
speech sounds that share the same manner and place of articulation but differ along voicing dimensions
60
vowels (features and 2 differentiation)
open vocal tract, vocal folds vibrate, differentiation determined by
1. tongue position (place of articulation and height)
2. lip position (rounded or unrounded)
61
speech development milestones
1. reflexive, vegetative sounds (crying, lip smacking)
2. vowel like and consonant like sounds
3. front sounds dominate (raspberries)
4. prosaic play (duration and pitch, yells, squeals)
5. canonical babbling (reduplicated - mamma)
6. prosody like speech
7. nonredplicated/variegated balling
8. jargon
62
by 18 months, 2 years, 3 years and 4 years
18 months --> 1-2 clear vowels and few consonants
2 years --> most vowels produced, 70% consonants, 50% intelligible words
3 years --> 80% intelligible, affirmatives, liquids
4 years --> 100% intelligible, even to stranger (some consonant errors)
63
speech sound disorder (SSD) - 2 types of impairments
problem with speech differ from age and cultural expectations
includes both
1. articulation and 2. phonological impairments
64
SSD articulation impairment
inability to articulate certain sounds, results in phonetic errors (sounds distorted or mispronounced but still the same phoneme)
65
SSD phonological impairment
rules that govern patterns, results in phonemic errors (different phoneme or sound omitted, resulting in change of meaning)
66
3 etiologies of SSD
1. physical/structural problem
2. motor or neurological problems (cerebral palsy/childhood apraxia)
3. functional cause (majority of cases)
67
cerebral palsy
motor SSD --> motor deficit due to CNS damage or developmental problem - results in dysarthria (weakness, slowness, or uncoordinated motor speech movement)
68
childhood apraxia of speech (developmental apraxia of speech DAS)
```
neurological SSD --> impaired planning of motor speech, difficulties in programming, combining, sequencing speech movement
features include
1. inconsistent speech errors
2. unusual speech errors
3. difficulty with volitional speech
5. grouping (making sounds into words)
```
69
SSD functional impairment
many have phonological impairments (rule based problem), childs errors help us understand what rules the child is simplifying and using
70
2 assessments of speech development
1. single word tests
- gather an example of initial, medial and final position
- standardized, provide inventory of sounds (norms)
2. speech sample
- many examples of sounds - spontaneous conversation
- percent consonants correct (PCC)
- -> if one or two sound errors, likely phonetic/articulation problem
- -> if large number of incorrect sounds, look to see patterns and phonological processes
71
4 speech sounds error patterns
1. substitutions (replace t for k - they instead of key)
2. deletion (one or entire class) - can be syllable simplification (nana for banana)
3. distortion (sound is altered, but still same phoneme) --> lateral or frontal lisp
4. addition (addition of unstressed vowels - balue) - not as common as the other ones, except for consonant blends in young children)
72
3 phonological processes/patterns
1. final consonant delation
2. cluster reduction
3. stopping of fricatives
73
4 other speech assessment considerations
1. stimulability
2. intelligibility
3. oral facial assessment
4. audiometric testing
74
stimulability speech assessment considerations
can child imitate sounds - if they can, more likely to change
75
intelligibility speech assessment considerations
how do errors impact ability to understand the child? (bigger when larger number of errors, and omission errors)
76
oral facial assessment speech assessment considerations
AKA oral peripheral mechanism examination (OPE)
- determine if structure and function of oral mechanisms are adequate to support speech
1. exam structure defects, tone, symmetry
2. examine function of structures for non speech and speech movements (diadochotkinesis)
77
diadochotkinesis
rapid, alternating syllable strings (paddock or buttercup)
78
audiometric testing - speech assessment considerations
hearing impairment can lead to articulation impairment (vowel errors, quit consonant sounds)
79
2 main speech therapy approaches - intervention for SSD
1. articulation approach (for child unable tis ay individual sound)
2. phonological approach (can say sound, but doesn't understand the rule)
80
articulation approach - intervention for SSD
using sensory information, repetitive motor practice
A) visual tactile support (showing and feeling differences)
B) PROMPT
1. provide auditory, visual, and physical cues
2. try to improve automaticity
3. increase length/complexity of stimulus
4. learns outside therapy room
5. child monitors how well they are saying sound
81
phonological approach - intervention for SSD
teach rules, emphasis changing in meaning (contrastive approaches - rhyming, minimal pairs, cycles approach)
82
3 cultural considerations for speech
1. dialect
2. accent
3. phonological interference
83
2 types of non-develoepmental stuttering
1. neurogenic
| 2. psychogenic
84
stuttering onset
typically between 2-5 years of age (heritable)
85
stuttering decreases during 3 things
1. novel speaking manner (singing, putting on an accent)
2. while alone, speaking to animals or kids
3. disruptions in auditory feedback
86
stuttering increases during 3 things
1. anticipating stuttering
2. having to say specific word
3. talking on the phone
87
8 primary characteristic of stuttering
1. part word repetition
2. single syllable word repetition
3. multi syllable word repetition
4. prolongation (not on stop sounds)
5. silent/tense pause (block)
6. phrase repetition
7. interjection (hum, uh, umm)
8. revision or incomplete phrase
88
bodily movements in stuttering
1. facial griminess
2. head movements
3. loss of eye contact
4. bodily movements
89
psychological behaviours in stuttering
1. avoidance (fillers, pretending to thing, avoiding situations and people, appearing shy)
2. emotional responses before speaking
3. emotional responses after stuttering
90
distinguishing normal non fluency and borderline stuttering
normal non fluency
- repetitions of: sentences, phrases, words
- interjections revisions, hesitations, no frustration
borderline stuttering
- repetitions of: syllables, individual sounds
- bursts of speech, body movements
91
what causes primary stuttering - constitutional factors
1. genetic predisposition
2. neurological dysfunction (cerebral organization - over activation of right, and under activation of left hemisphere) --> difficulty with auditory or proprioceptive feedback
92
what causes secondary stuttering
online some von onto develop secondary stuttering and become chronic
1. speech stressors (developmental or environmental)
2. susceptible to conditioned associations between primary and secondary stuttering (stimulus/response - e.g. if i blink i won't stutter)
3. sensitive or reactive temperament
93
neurogenic non-developemental stuttering
neurological damage or disease (strong, head injury, parkinson, MS), exposure to toxins
- -> equally disfluent across situations
- -> secondary behaviours and negative emotions less common
94
psychogenic non-developemental stuttering
may be intermittent
unusual or bizarre speech patterns
may respond quickly to treatment
95
cluttering
frequent whole word and phrase repetition, rapid rate, irregular rate, misarticulating (slurred or deleted phonemes, substitutions)
96
how is cluttering distinct from stuttering
part word repetitions are infrequent, secondary behaviours not usually present, often more fluent in situations where stutters are less
97
other characteristics of people who clutter
disorganized, poor attention and concentration, hyperactive/impulsive (ADHD), reception and expressive language difficulties, pragmatic language difficulties, poor handwriting
98
mild vs. severe stuttering
mild: easy reputations
severe: sound blocks, prolongations, body movements
99
treatment for early stuttering
```
uses indirect methods
- changes in environment
- reinforce fluent speech
- family involved
Lidcombe program: clinician mediated, parent implemented, behavioural treatment (standard of care for preschoolers and adapted for school aged), goal: no stuttering,
```
100
3 treatments for stuttering
1. fluency shaping
2. stuttering modification
3. nontraditional treatment approaches
101
fluency shaping - treatments for stuttering
modify all aspects of behaviour (behaviour modification - relearning speech movements), learn new pattern (reduced rate, vowel prolongation, slow and smooth onset), potential for rapid, dramatic change
102
fluency shaping - treatments for stuttering --> problems
1. abnormal artificial speaking pattern
2. skills not easily transferred out of therapy
3. attention to speaking pattern ongoing
103
stuttering modification - treatments for stuttering
addresses individual movements of stuttering
1. stutter more fluently with less tension
2. use light articulation contact
3. reduce situational fears and negative associations - feel in control
104
stuttering modification - treatments for stuttering --> problems
1. slower change
| 2. may still have moments of stuttering
105
non-traditional treatment - treatments for stuttering
1. hypnotherapy
2. drug therapy (dopamine blockers)
3. electronic devices (resemble eating birds - delayed auditory feedback)

2. pharyngoplasty: narrow all the skin, make tube around velum and pharyngal wall into small hole
118
dental treatment for CL/P
prosthodontics (obturator, speech bulb, palatal lift)
119
Speech language therapy for CL/P
<10%, focus on hyper nasal resonance, reduction of glottal stops,
1. traditional articulation therapy,
2. visual feedback via electropalatography --> gives feedback on tongue placement feedback on
