Test 1 Flashcards
Sound system disorder
clinically significant sound production errors, with a phonetic (articulatory) or phonemic (phonological) basis
Dichotomy
used to compare and contrast different treatments
Why do SLP need to know different techniques?
in order to treat the vast majority of system sound disorders
SLP must have an understanding of variables related SSD to assess, treat and councel the caregivers
Percentage of children with SSD
92% of schools SLP provide services to children with SSD
- 5% of children between 3 and 11 years have significant SSD needing treatment
- 5% of those children still have major substitution and deletion past age 4
5% of these children display sound errors of /s/ /l/ and /r, / that are classified as residual errors
Cause of SSD in children
Structural, sensory, cognitive, linguistic and psychological variables have been studied extensively but have failed to isolate a specific cause
SSD and coexisting problems
coexisting problems in acquisition of reading and development of reading, writing and spelling or learning difficulties.
These could also have some social differences due to their lack of communication
SSD subgroups
structural, sensory, neurophysiological together, or separately.
What is the causal variable for Oral structure defect?
Major and minor anomalies
What is the causal variable for Sensory deficit?
Type and degree of hearing loss
What is the causal variable for Motor speech disorders,Apraxia and Dysarthia?
Motor planning, motor execution disorders or both
What are some signs of a speech neurological problem?
motor planning; coordination of muscle, timing of & implementation of movement patterns requisite to normal speech production
What are some of the co-occurences with motor speech problems
occurrence with articulatory component and include other biocommunication systems such as respiration, phonation and speech prosody
What is NOMS?
The National Outcome measurement System is a project conducted by ASHA to collect treatment data on speech and language disorders
What treatment does NOMS recommend?
children with SSD should receive individual therapy for 10 hours or more and have a practicing in-home caregiver
What are the client variables to be incorporated into a treatment framework?
CLIENT STATUS: Stimulability; Self-monitoring skills; Effort of the client; Attention of the client; Motivation of the client for change; Treatment history; interactions with clinicians and caregiver
PHONOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE:Acoustic and phonetic ; Articulatory & Internal phonological knowledge
POTENTIAL RISK FACTORS:Cognitive & linguistic status; Speech mechanism; Hearing activity &
Neurophysiologic status
What are the clinician variables to be incorporated into a treatment framework?
Knowledge and skills
Theoritical biases
Confidence in treatment
Interactions with client and caregiver
What are the caregiver variables to be incorporated into a treatment framework?
Confidence in clinician
Confidence in treatment
Willingness to assist in treatment
Interactions with client and clinician
What is an adequate treatment model?
must consider cognitive-linguistic variables, motor skill learning, phonological knowledge, social skills, and potential risk factors
What is an SCAT?
(Second Contextual Articulation Tests) allows SLP to identify contexts in which the client produces target sound correctly and use these stimuli to increase accuracy and fluency on error sounds
what are the best techniques to assess articulation & phonology?
begins with a full assessment of the client’s articulatory response repertoire to find which sounds the clients can say spontaneously, imitatively, in all phonetic contexts, and those he cannot produce
What is a best place to start a treatment?
by building upon what the client can already say or do
