Q

Why are infants early productions restricted to phonemes produced primarily by the jaw?

Q

What type of speech errors would you expect with velopharyngeal insufficiency?

In terms of speech sound disorders, what characteristics do you see in a motor-speech deficit?

A
  • developmental–children

- acquired–children/adults

118
Q

What is the clinical presentation of a phonological deficit within the speech sound disorder category?

A

-multiple errors and highly unintelligible

119
Q

What are the speech errors of a phonological deficit within the speech sound disorder category?

A
  • simplification patterns of sound classes

- persistent beyond age expectancy

120
Q

What is the treatment focus of a phonological deficit within the speech sound disorder category?

A
  • teach production of sound classes
  • contrast productions using minimal pairs
  • accompany language remediation
  • teaching of minimal pairs
121
Q

what are minimal pairs?

A

set of words that vary only by one phoneme

122
Q

What can we use to develop discrimination skills with children who have a phonological deficit?

A

use contrastive function of phonemes

for example: 
ICD-"mat" vs. "at" "bin" vs. "in" 
FCD-"boat" vs. "bow"
Fronting-"cap" vs. "tap" 
Backing-"top" vs. "cop" 
Deaffrication-"chip" vs. "sip" 
vowels-"tip" vs. "top"
123
Q

What is the clinical presentation of an articulation deficit in the speech sound disorder category?

A
  • a. residual errors and minimal intelligibility concerns

- b. speech errors due to structural issues

124
Q

What are the common speech errors of an articulation deficit in the speech sound disorder category?

A
  • omissions, additions, substitutions

- majority who have articulation disorders have substitution errors

125
Q

What is the treatment focus of an articulation deficit in the speech sound disorder category?

A

-teach positioning/movement of articulators for production of target speech sounds

126
Q

What neurological evidence is there for a DEVELOPMENTAL motor speech disorder?

A
  • absence of brain injury

- there is no evidence!

127
Q

What is the clinical presentation of a developmental motor speech disorder?

A

-speech motor planning

128
Q

What are the speech errors commonly made for somebody who has a developmental motor speech disorder?

A
  • omissions
  • substitutions
  • vowel distortions
  • inconsistencies in productions
129
Q

In terms of developmental motor speech disorders, what specific speech errors are made with regards to omissions?

A
  • Initial consonant deletion
  • final consonant deletion
  • deaffrication
  • cluster reductions
  • weak syllable deletions
130
Q

What other phonological processes do children with developmental motor speech disorder experience?

A
  • metathesis

- dimunitization

131
Q

In terms of developmental motor speech disorders, what specific speech errors are made with regards to substitutions?

A

fronting

backing

depalatalization

132
Q

In terms of developmental motor speech disorders, what specific speech errors are made with regards to vowel distortions?

A

any vowel substitutions

reduplication of diphthongs

*very common in children with developmental apraxia of speech

133
Q

In terms of developmental motor speech disorders, what specific speech errors are made with regards to inconsistent productions?

A
  • variability in saying same sound

* very common in children with developmental apraxia

134
Q

What is the treatment focus for Developmental Motor Speech disorders?

A

-repetitive practice of varying syllable sequences of sounds the client already knows

135
Q

What neurological evidence is present for people who have ACQUIRED speech motor disorder?

A
  • presence of brain injury

* most common is stroke!

136
Q

What is the clinical presentation of somebody with acquired speech motor disorder?

A
  • difficulty with one or more phases of speech production

- speech motor planning

137
Q

What two disorders fall under the category of speech motor disorder?

A

acquired apraxia of speech

dysarthria

138
Q

What Speech errors occur for people who have acquired speech motor disorder?

A
  • omissions
  • substitutions
  • vowel distortions
  • inconsistencies in production
139
Q

What is the treatment focus for people with acquire speech motor disorder?

A
  • repetitive practice of automatic speech
  • repetitive practice of production of varying syllables

(must conquer first one before able to do second one!)

140
Q

Once we’ve established automatic speech in treatment with people with acquired speech motor disorder (apraxia), what do we work on?

A

-we move on to working on the varying syllable shapes so we try to get them to speak in multisyllabic words

141
Q

Be able to discuss the consequences of a speech sound disorder on an individual’s ability to function or participate in the home, school, and community.

A
