- Klinefelter’s syndrome (XXY in males)
- Turner’s syndrome (XO in females)
- Fragile X syndrome
Not all risk factors for communication disorders present at birth. What type of disorder presents later in life?
Sex chromosome disorders such as Klinefelter’s syndrome, Turner’s syndrome, and Fragile X syndrome.
List the 4 areas to assess and plan to maintain by an SLP with a newborn.
- Feeding and oral motor
- Hearing conservation and aural habilitation
- Child behavior and development
- Parent-child communication
Do all states require a newborn hearing screening?
No
How are newborns in the NICU at risk for hearing impairment (2)?
- Loud noises by machines can cause conductive hearing loss.
- Many syndromes and conditions that cause need for NICU care place the child at risk for hearing impairment.
What should an SLP encourage through the early years in terms of hearing conservation and aural habilitation?
SLPs should encourage testing through the early years even if loss is not evident in the newborn period.
List the 3 states that assess an infant’s readiness for communication.
- Turning in
- Coming out
- Reciprocity
Describe the 3 states that an SLP needs to assess for the infant’s readiness for communication.

How does an SLP want to go about a vocal assessment for the 1-8 months age range?
- Want to sample in “comfort state” vocalizations
- Duration of sampling - 20 min
- Want to obtain about 50 - 70 vocalizations
- Can use multiple observations in order to get the 20 min in or to reach the 50-70 vocalizations.
With the 1-8 month age range, what is an SLP interested in looking for?
- Canonical babbling
- Rate
- Proportion of consonant-like sounds - how many consonant like sounds are there?
- Multisyllabic babbling
