SLP Flashcards
How is speech produced?
Through 4 processes:
Respiration
Phonation
Resonation
Articulation
Respiration
Involves the muscles and organs responsible for breathing- i.e., lungs, diaphragm, intercostals, trachea
Power source
Phonation
Involves the muscles and structures in the larynx
-largely the vocal folds
Provides the vibration or voicing/phonation for speech
Resonation
Quality of sound
Involves muscles and structures of the pharynx, nasal cavity, and oral cavity
Articulation
Involves the muscles and structures of the oral cavity- i.e., lips, tongue, teeth, uvula, cheeks, palate, alveolar ridge
Components of speech
Articulation
Voice
Fluency
Language
A rule based system of communication; separate from speech
Functional Assessment of speech
Use table 1
Domain 3
Speech and pragmatic language is always under 3
Domain 1
Receptive is always under domain 1
Expressive language is sometimes in domain 1
Functional Assessment of Receptive and Expressive language
Functional Equals chart
Dysarthria
Muscle weakness caused by brain damage.
Designates problema in oral communication due to paralysis, weakness, or in coordination of the speech musculature.
Apraxia
Disruption of voluntary or purposeful motor planning
Apraxia of speech
Inconsistent articulation errors, difficulty imitating, errors increase with length and complexity, slow rate of speech, oral posturing
