Unit 3 Vocab (C6)

Question 1

Intended for children in the birth - 3 year old age range. Must include services needed not only to maximize child development but also to optimize the family’s capacity to address the child’s special needs. Instead of focusing on the child alone, this focuses on the child within the context of the family. Basically, a plan for comprehensive services to support the child’s development within the context of the family.

Answer 1

Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP)

Question 2

Birth prior to 37 weeks gestation, with low birth weight.

Answer 2

Prematurity

Question 3

Need definition

Answer 3

Corrected gestational age

Question 4

A primitive form of sucking that includes extension and retraction of the tongue as well as up-and-down jaw movements and loose closure of the lips.

Answer 4

Suckling

Question 5

A more mature pattern, which differs from suckling in that more intraoral negative pressure is generated, the tongue tip is elevated rather than extended and retracted, lip approximation is firmer and jaw movement is more rhythmic.

Answer 5

Sucking

Question 6

Causes the infant to turn the head toward the source of tactile stimulation (gentle rubbing) of the lips or lower cheek.

Answer 6

Rooting

Question 7

When teeth and gums are stimulated, usually by placement of the bottle or nipple in the mouth, the baby exhibits a rhythmic bite-and-release pattern that can be observed as a series of small jaw openings and closings.

Answer 7

Phasic bite reflex

Question 8

The backward flow of contents of the stomach up into the esophagus.

Answer 8

Gastroesophageal reflux

Question 9

Inserted through the nose and descends down the pharynx and into the stomach.

Answer 9

Nasogastric (N-G) Tube

Question 10

A feeding tube that is inserted through the mouth.

Answer 10

Orogastric tube

Question 11

A feeding tube that is inserted into the second part of the intestine.

Answer 11

Nasojejunal tube

Question 12

Brings food directly into the stomach and frees the oral cavity for exploration as well as for supplementary oral feeding. Typically used when non-oral feeding will be needed for an extended period of time.

Answer 12

Gastronomy (G-Tube)

Question 13

A.K.A. physiological state. During this stage, the baby is very sick and cannot really participate in reciprocal interactions. All the infant’s energies are devoted to maintaining biological stability.

Answer 13

Turning-in

Question 14

The baby first becomes responsive to the environment when he or she is no longer acutely ill, can breathe adequately, and begins to gain weight. This stage usually occurs while the baby is still in the NICU, and this is the time when he or she can benefit from interactions with parents. It is essential that the SLP be aware when this stage is reached so that interactions can be encouraged.

Answer 14

Coming out

Question 15

The final stage in progression of communication which usually occurs at some point before the baby is released from the hospital. Now the infant can respond to parental interaction in predictable ways. Failure to achieve this stage once physiological stability has been achieved, is a signal that developmental deficits may persist.

Answer 15

Reciprocity

Question 16

The production of well-formed syllables that consist of at least one vowel-like element and one consonant-like element that are connected in quick transition and are recognized to contain sounds similar enough to speech to be transcribable.

Answer 16

Canonical babbling

Question 17

Need to find

Answer 17

Oral stimulation

Question 18

A technique that involves skin-to-skin contact between the parent and child during the NICU stay.

Answer 18

Question 19

occurs whenever secretions, solid food or liquids go into the trachea and enter the airway and lungs.

Answer 19

Aspiration

Question 20

A middle ear infection. Signs include: pulling on the ear or jaw, fever, or unexplained fussiness accompanying a cold.

Answer 20

Otitis media

Question 21

The extent to which the mother is effective in directing the baby’s attention to objects of mutual interest, and the ways she evokes progressively more elaborated responses from the baby.

Answer 21

Joint attention - see pg 201

Question 22

Expectations that actions that have been repeated often for the baby will occur in a particular sequence, so that the infant “gets ready” to observe them when part of the sequence is enacted.

Answer 22

Anticipatory sets
