Midterm Flashcards
1
Q
List the four major events in the development of the neural tube, cranial nerve,and pharyngeal arches.
A
Formation of the embryonic disc: differentiation into the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm (gastrulation)
Formation of the neural plate
Migration of the neural crest cells to become cranial nerves
Development and fusion of pharyngeal arches
2
Q
State the typical ages that these behaviours appear: solid food introduction, cup drinking, straw drinking, munching, self-feeding with fingers, management of combination of textures.
A
Solid food introduction: 3-6 months Cup drinking: 6-9 months Straw drinking: 12 months Munching: 6-9 months Self-feeding with fingers: 8-10 months Management of combined textures: >18 months
3
Q
At what age does the transition to solid food occur and what skills parallel this transition?
A
Transition to solid food occurs around 7-9 months. Around this age:
- the up and down munching pattern emerges
- the tongue thrust reflex begins to disappear
- the child learns to swallow with tongue tip elevation
- begins to use lateral tongue movement to control position of bolus
- the child begins eating in an upright position
4
Q
Why is posture important to functional feeding?
A
Posture is foundational for safe feeding position as it provides airway protection/safety, helps avoid reflux, and improving breath-swallow coordination.
5
Q
What is considered a normal feeding duration?
A
20-30 minutes.
6
Q
How does the aerodigestrive tract differ in children versus adults?
A
In a child, there is much less open space in the child’s pharynx. The palate is much flatter and the larynx sits further back (less tilted forward).
7
Q
Identify the five main categories associated with feeding and swallowing disorders in children.
A
Neurologic: CP, ABI, intellectual disability, developmental delay
Anatomic/Structural: congenital (cleft palate), acquired (tracheostomy, vocal fold paralysis)
Genetic: chromosomal, syndromic, inborn errors of metabolism
Secondary to systemic illness: respiratory, gastrointestinal, congenital cardiac anomalies
Psychosocial/behavioural: oral deprivation, iatrogenic
8
Q
Describe the importance of the caregivers role in dysphagia assessment and management in pediatrics.
A
Feeding is a social and reciprocal event that depends on the abilities of both the caregiver and the child.
The cues between the infant and caregiver are important, as a mismatch in cues can lead to feeding problems. Additionally, stress from either influences the other and the transition through feeding stages partially depends on the caregiver.
Some question examples include:
- Signs of respiratory problems
- Feeding duration
- Weight loss or lack of weight gain
- Retching or vomiting
- Stress during mealtime for either child or parent
9
Q
What is the importance of dysphagia screening in adults with stroke?
A
Dysphagia screenings play a key role in reducing negative outcomes such as pneumonia, mortality, dependency, and the length of a hospital stay. Delaying a screening and assessment may increase the risk of health outcomes.
10
Q
Identify and provide examples of the two main modes of AAC.
A
Unaided: does not require external materials, typically involves sound, movement, or change in position to convey meaning, produces dynamic messages
- Ex. speech & vocalizations, gestures, body language, facial expressions, sign language, sign systems
Aided: requires external aids or equipment, typically involves graphic symbols, and create more permanent messages
- Ex. low tech (communication boards), high tch (dynavox, ipad, smartphone)
11
Q

Symbol: anything that represents something, can be spoken, graphic, or manual
Referent: that which the symbol represents, includes objects, actions, people, etc.
16
Q

Dynamic: symbols and layout are dynamic, infinite number of communicative concepts, requires navigation of device operations and communicative concepts.
24
Q
What are the different ways to customize grouping?
A
Taxonomic: categories of words (e.g. people, places) -> adults
Schematic: events and experiences (e.g. my classroom) -> children
Semantic/grammatical: agent, action, object
Alphabetic order
Importance/frequency of use
25
What are the different ways to customize symbol presentation?
Traditional grid: rows and columns of symbols in boxes with clear visual boundaries between symbols with one symbol/message per box and that can be arranged according to any grouping strategy.
Visual scene layout: communicative concepts are represented within a scene with the vocabulary embedded under the symbol hotspots, no distinct visual boundaries between symbols.
26
What are the different different types of selection?
Direct: point at a target in selection set using a body part or an adaptive tool
- Unassisted (uses body part only) or assisted (uses tool)
Indirect: indirect target from selection set as an indicator scans each choice.
27
What are the different ways to customize direct selection?
Choose effector (body part that makes the selection) and make sure movements are easy, voluntary, and consistent, do not trigger a reflex pattern, and are socially acceptable.
Choose an adaptive tool considering physical and cognitive demands
Choose an activation strategy: timed (sustained effector contact), release (disengaged effector contact), and averaged (average time effector)
Select response signal executed by the effector: vocalizations, consistent body movements, activation of an input device.
Select input device considering cognitive and physical demands (e.g. switch, microswitch, joystick)
Select scanning mode
Select scanning pattern
28
What are the different scanning modes?
Automatic (begins automatically, ceases when interrupted by response signal)
Inverse (begins on response signal, ceases when response signal is stopped)
Step (1st signal moves scanning along one step at a time, 2nd signal indicates selection)
29
What are the different scanning patterns?
Single symbol techniques: linear (left to right, up down), circular (clockwise or counterclockwise), or directed (joystick/switches)
Grouped symbol techniques: row-column (scans rows then symbol by symbol), or group-item (scans groups then symbol by symbol)
30
What are the different considerations for output?

Activation feedback: auditory (partner speaks selected communicative concepts, vocalization on selection of target), or visual (partner points to chosen symbol)
Message feedback: auditory (partner repeats message) or visual (partner points out message)
33
What are some output customizations for high tech?
Activation feedback: auditory (digital tone from device), visual (concept visible in message bar), or tactile (click from a switch)
Message feedback: visual (whole sentence is visible via LCD display) or auditory (whole sentence read aloud by system)

37
Describe the participation model for AAC and identify its relationship with communicative competence.
It is a model to implement AAC. It begins with identifying participation patterns and communication needs. From there, participation barriers are identified, either opportunity barriers or access barriers. Once these are accessed, interventions can be planned and implemented followed by instructions provided to the person using AAC and facilitator. The intervention effectiveness is then evaluated by looking at that person’s participation. If they are participating, move to follow up, if not, go back to identifying participation barriers.
Model draws heavily on the concept of communicative competence
Some key connections = takes a participatory approach, find out what are the main communication needs
Definition of access takes into account communicative context
38
What are opportunity barriers? List some types.
Those imposed by people other than the individual who uses the AAC system and that are not eliminated by providing the system.

87
What is the care pathway?
The care pathway to support identification and intervention is a multi-tiered pathway to support identification and intervention for children 18-48 months. It is divided into two parts: under and over 36 months. It identifies 3 different treatment models for young children at various stages of development and identified motor speech needs.

Make sure to identify the speech motor movements that child is having difficulty with based of the hierarchy.
90
Summarize the motor speech hierarchy.
Stage I – Tone: body and facial tone, reflexes
Stage II – phonation: airstream, phonation, resonance
Stage III – Jaw (vertical plane): range, grading, midline movement
Stave IV – Facial (horizontal plane): bilabials, rounding, retraction, individual lip movement
Stage V – Tongue (anterior/posterior plane): independent movement from jaw.
Stage VI – sequenced movement (multiple planes)
Stage VII – prosody
91
Explain the principles behind choosing motor movement goals.
Individualize for the child
Promote early success and generaliztaion
Encourage prosody
Increase effectiveness of verbal communication
Functional for both speech and language needs
Develop speech motor control in a systematic manner progressing from simple to more complex general movements following a developmental progression as a general rule
Select sounds, syllable shapes, words which use the targeted movements
92
What are some considerations for choosing airstream control goals?
Establish 3 types of air streams: any single voiced oral phoneme (/a/), any single nasal phoneme (/m/), and single voiceless phoneme
Established sustained phonation using steady jaw position.
Establish oral/nasal control
Establish use of sounds consistently and volitionally for communication
93
What are some considerations for choosing jaw control goals?
Develop control of jaw movement: range, stability, controlled open-close movement, then graded
Establish isolated phonemes: C= /p,b,m/, V = /ae, a, carrot/
First combine CV, CCVCV, VC syllable shapes: baa, ma, mama, up
Then in CVCs: hop
94
What are some considerations for choosing lip control goals?
Develop control of lip movement: rounding, retraction, independent lip movement
Established isolated phonemes: v=/u,o/ for lip rounding, /I,e/ for retraction
Target independent lip movement using basic syllable shapes : me, eat, mimi, boo
Introduce CVC for independent bilabials /p, b, m/: beep, peep, boom, home
95
What are some considerations for choosing tongue control goals?
Develop control of tongue tip
/t, d, n/ if not already in their repertoire: dadda, done,dot, mat, bat
May need to use “jaw assisted tongue” to give experience feeling this new sound
Then get independent tongue tip elevation by eliminating jaw help (use horizontal vowels): eat, boot, in, no, boat, meat, two
96
What are some considerations for choosing integration goals?
Add a new plane of movement (integrate jaw movement with lip movement): first across two syllables (daddy, happy, puppy, mommy) then diphthongs (want, out, down, bye, my)
97
What are some considerations for choosing expanding tongue movement and phoneme repertoire goals?
```
Develop back tongue control: /k+g/ + low vowels /ae, a/ (walk, back, pack, muck) then all vowels and /k, g/ in initial position (come, go, avoid words with /t, d, n/ at first, take, cut)
Refine tongue control: /s/
Check stimulability and functional use of both to decide which would be a better phoneme to target next and continue with other tongue sounds
Sequence movement (belnds, multisyllabic words with multiple changes in direction of movement, ice cubes)
```
98
Explain the principles behind selection of vocabulary targets.
Select target vocabulary that is functional for language: increasing vocabulary, length of utternance and grammatical complexity, improve social interaction, and is important to the child and parents, expands upon existing sound repertoire and syllable shapes
Consider basic motor control parameters of the MSH
Expands upon existing sound repertoire and syllable shapes
Expose the child to vocabulary that is meaningful and achievable and supports early speech motor skill and phonological development
99
What are some of the variables to control?
Linguistic parameters: consonants, vowels, syllable and word shapes, phonological processes, linguistic complexity
Motor parameters: level of subsystem control, complexity of motor movement
o Place of articulation
o Voiced/voiceless/nasal
o Direction of movement (vertical/jaw, horizontal/lip rounding and retraction, anterior/posterior:tongue tip/back
o Integration of planes: consonant clusters, multisyllabic words
Functionality of the vocabulary
Number of targets
Amount of support provided
100
What must be considered when selecting vocabulary targets?
When choosing target vocabulary, select sounds, syllable shapes, words which use the targeted movements. Don’t forget specific phoneme and syllable movement patterns and the number of changing parameters across word/phrase.
101
How might we map syllable shapes onto motor control?
Phonation control: V, VV
Jaw control: VC, CVC, CVCV
Jaw assisted lip control: C, CV, VC, CVC, CVCV, VCV
Independent lip control, V, VC, VCVV, CVCVV, VCVVC, VCVVCV (wee, one, wash)
Jaw assisted tongue control: CV, VC, CVCV
102
What are some examples of target vocabulary for various motor controls?
Monitoring midline movement of jaw: boot, boat, book, put, push, poke
Improve lip control (independent of jaw, appropriate tension of contact, rounding, sequenced movement): wee, one, wash
Improve tongue control (tongue tip elevation independent of jaw): eat, teddy, daddy
Improve phonation control in complex movements (in /h/ phrases and oral/nasal control vowels after nasals): I have a…/in a hole/put it here OR mummy, man, no, done
