Module 15 Flashcards
Is obligatory errors passive or active?
passive
is optional errors passive or active?
active
What are obligatory errors?
- Due to structural or neurogenic problems
* Require physical management
What are optional/learned errors?
- Habituated errors that are the result of early mislearning
- Exist despite adequate VP closure
- Require speech remediation
What are the sources of early VP mislearning?
- Deficient velopharyngeal valve
- Absent of structurally aberrant bony partition
- Hearing loss
Cleft palate speech includes deviations in the following
(RAAA)
• Resonance: leads to hypernasality.
• Airflow: leads to nasal air emission.
• Air pressure: leads to weak oral pressures/weak pressure consonants.
• Articulation: leads to maladaptive compensatory misarticulations.
What is hypernasality?
•The resonance deviation that is heard on vowels and vocalic consonants (glides and liquids)
- Cardinal feature of VPI
• Resonance distortion that results from abnormal coupling of oral and nasal cavities.
In hyper nasality, changes in resonance primarily affects:
vowels and vocalic consonants (glides and liquids/oral sonorants).
Causes of hypernasality
VP insufficiency and VP incompetency
What is hyponasality?
too little nasal resonance; cold-in-the-head sound; affects vowels, sonorants and nasal consonants; can perceptually mask a VPI.
What is mixed nasality?
elements of both hypernasality and hyponasality; there is increased nasal cavity resistance.
What is cul de sac resonance?
sound is trapped by anterior nasal cavity constriction; ex: deviated septum
what is nasal air emissions?
Airflow deviation characterized by speech airflow and emission through the nose.
causes of NAE
Inappropriate/abnormal coupling of oral and nasal cavities
o Coupling at the VP port due to true VPI or mislearning (poor VP closure)
o Coupling via the oral cavity due to a fistula (a hole)
What parts of speech does NAE primarily affect
It primarily affects high pressure consonants/obstruent consonants (stops, fricatives, affricates)
