Speech And Reso Assessment Flashcards
OPM Assessment
Lips
Jaw
Teeth
Tongue
Hard palate
Soft palate
Velopharyngeal closure
Nasal cavity
What do we assess in the OPM assessment?
- Anatomy - appearance of facial bones, tissues, symmetry
- Physiology - ROM, strength, precision and motor control, speed, sensation
- Speech - Articulation, DDK
What do we generally assess during an OPM Assessment?
- Structure - appearance, tone, and size
- Mobility (range, speed, accuracy, diadochokinesis)
- Strength (resistance to pressure, endurance, steadiness)
- Motor planning (DDK, coughing, throat clear)
What do you assess with the structure: Lips
Symmetry and size
Movement: labial retraction, pursing, puckering, puff
DDK: /pa/
Speech: /p, b, m/ → bilabial sounds
OPM Assessment: Jaw
Symmetry and deviation
Movement: elevate, depress, lateralize
OPM Assessment: Tongue
Symmetry and deviation
Movement: protrusion, retraction, /lateralization → for the purpose of eating
DDK> /ta/
Speech: /t, d, n/
OPM Assessment: Hard palate
Shape and width
Presence of scarring
Relevant for CLAP patients
OPM Assessment: Soft Palate
- Velar movement when saying /a/
- Interrupted (staccato) and sustained
- DDK: kuh
- Puffing → when we puff, our velum closes so the air pressure is just accumulated in the oral cavity.
- Puffing with tongue protrusion
Normal DDK rates can assess:
It can assess the motor planning - sequencing the articulatory movements well (pa-ta-ka)
Speech sampling assesses?
Each phoneme assessed in initial, medial, and final position
Contrast with pre-, inter-, and post vocalic
What stimuli can you utilize for speech sampling?
Picture, word lists, sentences, conversation sampling
Why is speech sampling important?
Determine nature of errors (substitution, omission, distortion, or addition)
What information will you obtain from speech sampling?
- Phonetic inventory - all phonemes
Stimulability
Nature of errors: SODA? Phonological process?
What is the quantitative measure that we can get after obtaining a speech sample?
PCC
Why do we need to get the percentage of correct consonants? What are the equivalent of the percentages?
Quantifies the severity of spontaneous speech
85%-100% Mild
65%-85% Mild/Moderate
50%-65% Moderate/Severe
<50% Severe
What is the formula for the percentage of correct consonants?
of correct consonants / # total of all consonants x 100
What are the rules of PCC?
- Consider only intended (target) consonants in words. Intended vowels are not considered.
- Addition of a consonant before a vowel, for exam on [hon] is not scored because of the target sound /ɔ/ is a vowel
- Do not score target consonants in the second or successive repetitions of a syllable, for example, ba-balloon, but score only the first /b/
- Do not score consonants that are completely or partially unintelligible or where the transcriber is uncertain of the target
- Do not score target consonants in the third or successive repetitions of adjacent words unless articulation changes–word repetition
True or False. Addition of a sound to a correct or incorrect target consonants, for example, cars for [karks]. The child will have two errors.
True
How do we get the intelligibility?
of understood words divided by # of total words
What is intelligibility?
- Perceptual judgment by a listener
- % of words understood in a sample
What is stimulability? Why do we do it? If good stimulability?
- Will tell if a sound will be acquired without intervention
- If good stimulability–the child will be able to produce the sound without intervention
- Good stimulability will lead to faster progress
- More chance of learning through maturation
- Stimulable sounds to be targeted first
- MORE STIMULABILITY = BETTER PROGNOSIS
What should we look into when there are SODA errors to find a persistent pattern?
- Place, manner, voicing
Phonological process analysis
According to type of PP committed
Presence of phonological process and check if it is typical or atypical
If the child exhibits errors and through stimulability, those errors are corrected without phonological therapy, this is indicative of
Articulation disorder
