Speech Flashcards
T/F: Speech is both verbal and nonverbal.
False
Language is verbal and nonverbal
What are the subsystems in speech?
- Respiration
- Phonation
- Resonation
- Articulation
- Fluency/prosody
T/F: Fluency is the smoothness or flow of speech production.
True
_________ is when sound waves are created by vibration of the vocal folds.
Phonation
_________ are one of the most common causes of pediatric dysphonia.
Vocal nodules
________ often entails surgical removal and possible voice therapy.
Vocal fold cysts
_________ requires surgical resection (may require multiple surgeries).
Laryngeal
T/F: Voice therapy is often very successful with young patients.
False
Can be challenging
________ involves anatomical shape adjustment and constriction of the mouth, pharynx and nasal cavities to produce sound.
Articulation
T/F: Speech Sound Disorders (SSDs) are considered articulation disorders.
True
T/F: Oral-motor therapy is evidence-based practice.
False
What are two examples of motor speech disorders?
Dysarthria and childhood apraxia of speech
_______ is a name for a group of neurologic speech disorders resulting from abnormalities in strength, speed, range, steadiness, tone, or accuracy of movements.
Dysarthria
T/F: Congenital dysarthria is present from birth.
True
________ involves difficulties with speech and accuracy of articulatory movements.
Dysarthria
T/F: Children with athetoid CP will have more artic errors than those with spastic CP.
True
T/F: Most children will present with mixed dysarthria.
True
__________ is a neurological speech disorder where precision and consistency of movements is altered in the absence of neuromuscular deficits.
Childhood apraxia of speech
What are some possible treatments for motor speech disorders?
- Articulation therapy
- Palatal lift/VPD
- Improve breath support
________ is the quality of sound and involves the balance of oral and nasal sound energy.
Resonance
T/F: Hypernasality is normally associated with VPI.
True
Perception of excessive nasality will be during production of ______ sounds.
vowel
Perception of hypo nasality will be during production of __________.
nasal consonants
The _________ mechanism connects the oral and nasal cavities.
velopharyngeal
T/F: VP closure occurs for swallowing and speech.
True
What is the most important muscle for providing adequate VP closure for speech?
Levator veli palatini
T/F: Conclusions can be made about VP closure during speech based on non speech activities.
FALSE
What are the most common articulation errors of children with cleft palate/VPI?
- Gluttal stops
2. Nasal fricatives
T/F: Speech therapy is effective in treating resonance disorders/VPD.
False
T/F: Malocclusion is common with cleft lip/palate.
True
T/F: Orthodontics are needed for all patients with clefts through the alveolar ridge.
True
When are alveolar bone grafts typically done?
5-9 years old
When should orthognathic surgery be done?
When facial growth is complete
What is nasometry?
Measures balance between oral and nasal sound energies
Nasopharyngoscopy is used to analyze the ________.
VP mechanism
T/F: Speech therapy will not reduce hyper nasality.
True
T/F: Imaging studies are necessary for treatment planning.
True
Surgery to correct VPD is often referred to as ________ surgery.
secondary
_______ is the treatment of choice for children with VPD.
Surgery
