Q

Childhood Apraxia of Speech

A

Inconsistent Errors
 Lengthened/disrupted transitions
 Inappropriate prosody
 Limited sound repertoires, groping,
omissions or adding sounds, difficulty
with running speech
 Some may be nonverbal early on
 Likely to have difficulties with
phonological awareness, reading,
writing, spelling
 Prosodic abnormalities

28
Q

Structural Abnormalities

A

Structural Functional Abnormalities
 *Usually only gross abnormalities
affect speech
 *Cleft Palate is detrimental to speech
 **Hard Palate
 **Soft Palate

29
Q

CLEFT PALATE

A

Hypernasality
 Nasal emission
 Compensatory
articulation
 Glottal stop
 Vpi

30
Q

Dentition

A

Ask client to bite teeth down together &
smile
 Dental classification systems provide info
regarding alignment of upper & lower
teeth:
◦ Class I- normal occlusion (alignment); dental arches
close normally; but there may be crooked teeth
◦ Class II- lower molar & jaw too far back
◦ Class III- lower molar & jaw too far forward in relation
to the upper arch
◦ Look for crossbites & open bites as well

31
Q

role of dentition in articulation

A

The role of dentition in articulation
disorders is not clear
 Studies show that minor dental
abnormalities rarely cause significant
deviations in speech production
 Severe dental abnormalities resulting
from malocclusion (misaligned teeth)
or deviations in jaw alignment, may
lead to speech errors

32
Q

Tongue Thrust

A

Infants & young children swallow by
bringing tongue against hard palate and
pushing the food or liquid forward
Some believe that a persisting tongue
thrust can lead to some speech sound
errors, particularly in producing the [s]
and [z] sounds

33
Q

Oral Mechanism

A

Adequate oral structure and physiology
are required for speech production
 Some areas in addition to dentition that
SLPs examine are:
◦ lips- symmetry and range of motion
◦ Tongue- size, range of motion
◦ Jaw- opening & closing & freedom of
movement & stability is important for speech
production
◦ Hard palate must be intact for oral sounds to
be produced
◦ Soft palate must be able to close off the nasal cavity quickly & repeatedly during running speech

34
Q

DOWN SYNDROME

A

Chronic otitis media
 Dysarthria
 Delayed in the onset of
babbling

35
Q
