Speech Disorders - Exam 3 Flashcards
What is the goal of assessment?
to determine if there is a speech sound disorder
Assessment is the set of __________ used to gain a clear description of the ______ _____ production skills of a child.
procedures, speech sound
Diagnosis
the conclusion you arrive at after assessment
Screening is the ____/____ procedure that can be conducted quickly with a large number of individuals in a _____ period of time.
pass/fail, short
In California schools, screening is based on…
teacher and parent referral.
3 principles of assessment
- written case history forms
- information from other professionals
- conduct interview
Written case history forms address…
history, what the family thinks, and if the child is frustrated
when conducting an interview, you have to…
develop rapport, tell them what will happen during assessment, ask: do others make fun of the child, are they bothered by this? Impact on life?
When planning an assessment session, you must…
select appropriate tests, and prepare bribes
make sure the test area is…
clean and clutter free
6 assessment related areas
- Hearing
- Orofacial Structures
- DDK syllable rate
- Syllable rate
- speech intelligibility
- level of stimulability
When screening language, it’s good to test _________ vocabulary
receptive
DDK syllable rates evaluates…
oral motor coordination
speed, accuracy, and sequencing problems
Conducting Oral Peripheral Examination helps differentiate…
functional or organic
Oral Peripheral Examinations evaluate…
- symmetry of face
- facial symmetry when smiling/opening mouth
- structural and functional integrity of lips
- structural and functional integrity of tongue
- assessment of hard palate
- assessment of soft palate
- assessment of teeth
Labioverted, linguaverted, malocclusion, open bite, and cross bite
labioverted: tilt out towards lips
linguaverted: tilt in towards tongue
malocclusion: over/under bite
open bite: lack of contact between upper and lower teeth
cross bite: lateral overlapping of upper and lower dental arches
a spontaneous sample is ideal because it is a ______________ of _____ life
representative, daily
Advantages of Standardized tests
quick, sample all consonants, and you know what they should be saying
Disadvantages of Standardized tests
just single words not connected speech, each phoneme sampled only once
Assessment of phonological processes - Hodson
severity rate: mild, moderate, severe
Khan-Lewis phonological analysis (give GFTA first)
10 PPs
Commonly used Articulation tests
- Arizona Articulation Proficiency Test - 3
- Photo Articulation Test (PAT:3)
- Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation:2
When you record, make sure you _____ or restate what the child says.
gloss
Other types of assessment…
speech discrimination, stimulability, contextual
contextual testing
facilitative phonetic context
McDonalds Deep Test, Secord Contextual Articulation Test (S-CAT)
Independent analysis
childs productions transcribed without reference to adult model
relational analysis
compare childs production to standard/adult form
Traditional Analysis involves
error types
Developmental Analysis incolves
comparing childs production to norms for chronological age
Pattern Analysis looks at…
- distinctive features
- Place-voice-manner
- phonological process analysis
Phonological Process Analysis is the percentage of _________
occurence
Phonetic Inventory Analysis looks at…
whether or not the client has the motor ability
Intelligibility analysis
subjective statement
Phonological Disorders
highly unintelligible, multiple misarticulations, restricted phonetic inventory, patterns of errors
A diagnostic statement is a _______
summary
prognosis is an estimated course of a ________ under specified conditions
disorder
under-_______ and over-_______
promise, deliver
3 major components of a good prognostic statement
- goal statement
- judgment of success
- Prognostic variables
Cerebral Palsy
non-progressive motor disorder due to pre-, peri-, or post-natal damage.
Types of Cerebral Palsy
Spastic - slow jerky movements
Athetoid - slow writing involuntary movements
Ataxic - balance problems, normal reflexes and muscle tone
Rigid - simultaneous contraction of all muscle groups
Mixed
Cerebral Palsy speech problems
oral motor, feeding, slow DDK, resonance, prosody, respiration, phonation, articulation
Dysarthria
neuromotor disorder affecting all systems
due to: CP, degenerative diseases, stroke
Dysarthria characteristics
breathy respiration difficulty with syllable stress imprecise and distorted articulation weak pressure consonants hypernasality monotone
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) - Owens, Farinells, and Metx 2015
say things differently every time
impaired motor planning
better at word level than connected speech
NOT the result of weakness
CAS associated problems
family hx in some possible LD better receptive than language slow tx progress slow DDK difficulty with nonspeech tasks clumsy
CAS assessment evaluates
prosody and loudness intelligibility resonance DDKs developmental hx production of polysyllabic words, consistency
_____________ is a hallmark of CAS
inconsistency
When assessing cleft palate, look for…
difficulty with pressure consonants
asal emission and hypernasality
compensatory errors like glottal stops - hoarseness
middle ear dysfunction - otitis media w/ effusion
expressive/receptive language gap
Assessment strategies with cleft palate
work with team, help plan surgical interventions, assess intelligibility in connected speech, pressure consonants in words and sentences, hypernasality on vowels and consonants.
Define stimulability
The child’s tendency to make a correct or improved production of a misarticulated sound when given a model or additional stimulation by the examiner
Contextual testing
Helps identify a facilitating phonetic context for correct production
Facilitative phonetic testing
A surrounding sound or group of sounds that has a positive influence on the production of a misarticulated phoneme.
Phonetic inventory
Sounds that the child can produce regardless of accuracy in relation to an adult target and that are available for the child to form words
Independent analysis
A child’s speech productions described without reference to adult model
Phonotactic constraints
Word positions in which specific sounds do not occur in the child’s speech
Relational analysis
Comparing child’s production to adult target to identify types of errors, distinctive features, phonological errors, while word acquisition patterns, and phonemic inventory.
Phonemic inventory
Sounds the child can produce contrastively to make distinctions between words
Frequency of occurrence
The clinician simply identifies the number of times a particular phonological pattern occurred in the child’s speech sample
Percentage of occurrence
Clinician determines the number of times the child us d a particular phonological pattern in relation to the total number of opportunities for occurrence of the pattern.
Phonetic inventory analysis
Helps clinicians identify the consonants and vowels the child can make without consideration for the contrasting effects of the sound in adult words
2 general diagnoses
- Normal if typical speech production skills
2. A speech sound disorder
Prognostic variables
Factors that can positively or negatively influence the improvement of a child’s speech sound production skills.
Variable: Severity
Underlying assumption:……
The more severe the disorder, the poorer the prognoses and vice Versa.
Variable: chronological age
Underlying assumption:….
The younger the child at the time of treatment, the better the prognosis.
Variable: motivation
Underlying assumption:…..
The less motivated the child, the poorer the prognosis for improvement.
Variable: inconsistency
Underlying assumption:….
May be positive variable. Errors produced correctly some of the time may be more easily treated.
Variable: associated conditions
Underlying assumption:….
May slow progress of treatment
Variable: treatment history
Underlying assumption:….
Hx of limited progress or poor maintenance of previously learned behaviors may be thought to have poorer prognosis than a child without such hx.
Variable: family support
Underlying assumption:….
Stronger support, the better prognosis for improvement.
