Paige's study guide Flashcards
Ages 5-12 are more focused on what?
Grammar and acquisition of certain forms.
Intelligibility speech is what?
a perceptual judgment made by a listener and is based on the percentage of words in a speech sample that are understood.
What are the intelligibility percentages at the following ages? 1, 2, 3, and 4
25, 50, 75, and 100
What three things should you look at when judging person’s intelligibility?
percentage of intelligibility
rate of speech
stimulability
What is stimulability data used for?
used for making decisions regarding case selections and identifying target sounds for intervention.
What does a child being able to imitate an error sound represent?
A young child acquiring phonology who can imitate error sounds suggests that the child may be in the process of acquiring those sounds.
What is frequency of occurence?
the higher the frequency of a sound in a language, the greater its potential effect on intelligibility.
Parent, teacher, and SLP report should do what?
Match
What are important points to note when analyzing a case study?
(10)
- orofacial exam
- Hearing loss concerns: otitis media-> speech delay
- Surgeries or childhood illnesses
- Genetic disorders: family background
- Neuro-motor Impairments of speech movement control.
- Dystharia
- Apraxia
- Comorbidity is when there is more than one disorder present.
- Dialect
- External and Internal Monitoring
What is apraxia?
Impairment of motor speech programming with little or no weakness, paralysis, or incoordination of the speech musculature.
What is dystharia?
Slow, weak, imprecise, and uncoordinated movements of the speech musculature.
When looking at genetic disorders, what are the psychosocial factors?
- age
- gender
What do we need to know about age?
Maturation is generally not a factor in speech sound acquisition after age 9 in typically developing children.
What do we need to know about gender?
Boys develop a tiny bit slower than girls, may need speech services if significantly behind.
What do we need to consider when looking at the family background?
- Socioeconomic Status (SES)
- Familial tendencies
- Twin Studies
What do we need to know about SES?
there is no positive correlation between SES and speech sound disorders. Factors associated with SES may lead to speech sound disorders. A higher risk of having a speech sound disorder is truly based on a multitude of factors.
What do we need to know about familial tendencies?
- Genetics
- Twin studies
- Idioglossia
