Answer 9

• speech tasks
• simplified speech tasks
• citation tasks
• language formulation tasks

Question 10

speech tasks

Answer 10

designed to isolate respiratory, phonatory, articulatory, and velopharyngeal systems

• vowel prolongation, alternating motion rate, sequential motion rate
• contextual speech, stress testing, assessment of motor speech programming

used in an auditory-perceptual speech evaluation

Question 11

simplified speech tasks

Answer 11

vowel prolongation; alternating motion rate; sequential motion rate

used in an auditory-perceptual speech evaluation

Question 12

citation tasks

Answer 12

repetition of sounds, syllables, words, and sentences, & the production of automatic speech stimuli

used in an auditory-perceptual speech evaluation

Question 13

language formulation tasks

Answer 13

require patient to generate ideas and concepts and communicate them using semantic, phonological, and syntactic processes
- conversation, narrative discourse, and oral reading tasks

used in an auditory-perceptual speech evaluation

Question 14

postural mangagement

Answer 14

poor posture may result in decreased respiratory support
- have patient sit in upright position to decrease pressure on and restriciton of abdomen

Question 15

prosthetic management for velopharyngeal function

Answer 15

• palatal lift: dental appliance including a plate that covers majority of the hard palatae and more narrow, posterior extension fo the palate that lifts the soft palate to improve velopharyngeal closure
• used with stable recovering or progressive dysarthria

Question 16

lee silverman voice treatment

Answer 16

improves speech production in those with hypokinetic dysarthria due to parkinson’s disease
- primary focus on increasing loudness
- intensive treatment and high levels of respiratory and phonatory effort

Question 17

prompts for restructuring oral and muscular phonetic targets (PROMPT)

Answer 17

uses intricate set of auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic cues via structured finger placement on the face and neck to provide information regarding place, manner, jaw movement, voicing and sound duration for targeted sounds
