Pediatric Flashcards
Developmental motor speech disorder
Disorder in which speech development is delayed or deviant, with no period of typical development
Spastic Cerebral palsy
- hypertonia
- primitive reflexes/ hyperreflexia
- spascticity, weakness, limited range
Most common time of cerebral palsy
spastic
Athetoid (dyskinetic) cerebral palsy
- abnormal, involuntary, variable movement
- fluctuaction between hyper- and hypotonia
Ataxic cerebral palsy
-balance, coordination, depth perception
-fine motor skills
shaking with deliberate actions
Posterior fossa tumor
sometimes brings dysarthria
Down syndrome
- hypotonia
- developmental delays and atypical development
- reduced ROM of jaw, lips, tongue
TBI
- speech often co-occurring with language, cognitive, and social impairments
- associated with dysarthria
Syndromes related to CAS
- galactosemia
- Fragile X
- Velocardiofacial syndrome
- Rhett syndrome
-FOXP2 mutation, possibly
Speech hallmarks of CAS
- inconsistent errors
- lengthened and disrupted coartic transitions
- inappropriate prosody, esp. in relation to lexical or phrasal stress
Is there a validated list of features for diagnosis?
no (ASHA, 2007)
Weakness/ incoordination in speeh musculature
dysarthria
problems with involuntary motor control (e.g. chewing)
dysarthria
inconsistent articulatory errors
CAS
Errors increase with complexity and length
