Children who have not yet mastered the rules used to manage the sounds are described as having a
answer
phonological disorder
question
When children having trouble producing sounds
answer
articulation problems
question
substitutions, distortions, and omissions
answer
speech sound disorders can be classified as three types:
question
when one word is substituted for another. ex: "tan" for "can"
answer
substitutions
question
when a child tries to produce the appropriate phoneme but fails to do so accurately
answer
distortions
question
when a phoneme is deleted but nothing is produced in its place
answer
omissions
question
the most common example of errors that affect specific sounds or classes of sounds
answer
lisp
question
occurs when the speaker pronounces the sibilant sound with the tongue between the teeth, resulting in the "th" sound
answer
central lisp
question
occurs when air is directed around the side of the tongue rather than down the middle, results in air leakage between tongue and molars, sound produced: "slushy" s or sh sound
answer
lateral lisp
question
initial is first, final is last, medial is anything between
answer
three positions within a word: initial position, final position, medial position
question
sounds at the beginning of a syllable preceding a vowel. ex: the h in hat
answer
prevocalic
question
sounds at the end of a syllable following a vowel. ex: the t in hat
answer
postvocalic
question
when a sound falls between to vowels. ex: v in shovel
answer
intervocalic
question
speech sound disorders resulting from structural, physiological, sensory, or neurologic deficits
answer
organic disorders
question
refers to the misalignment of the teeth or an improper relationship between the upper and lower teeth
answer
malocclusion
question
occurs when the tongue is too large
answer
macroglossia
question
occurs when tongue is too small
answer
microglossia
question
"tongue-tie"; condition in which the flap of tissue that holds the tongue to the floor of the mouth (the lingual frenulum) is too short or attached too far forward
answer
ankyloglossia
question
swallowing pattern in which the tongue comes forward, pressing against the teeth and sometimes protruding between the teeth
answer
tongue thrust
question
Damage to the central or peripheral nervous system can result in weakening, paralysis, or loss of control over the speech mechanism can cause this disorder. It is categorized by slow, effortful speech and imprecise production of speech sounds.
answer
dysarthria
question
A condition in which the ability to program and sequence the motor movements required for the production of speech sounds is impaired as a result of brain damage. Generally the result of disease or injury.
answer
apraxia of speech
question
This disorder effects a child's ability to develop their speech sound system. It is a controversial disorder.
answer
developmental apraxia of speech (DAS) p.88
question
disorders where there is no clear-cut causation; any disorder which is not considered organic
answer
functional speech sound disorders
question
test of each phoneme in the context of a word; easiest to administer. each consonant is tested in each position of a word
answer
speech sound inventories
question
speech sound production tests in which a target sound is assessed in several different phonetic environments
answer
contextual tests
question
speech sound analysis technique which identifies patterns such as phonological processes which underlie sound errors
answer
pattern analysis
question
the ability to produce a certain sounds can be affected by the surrounding sounds
answer
phonetic environment/phonetic context
question
establishment, generalization, and maintenance
answer
most motor based treatments can be divided into three stages:
question
the child is taught to correctly produce the target sound or sounds in at least one context and to stabilize the correct production
answer
establishment
question
the child is taught to use the behavior learned in the establishment phase is all other contexts
answer
generalization
question
the goal is for the child to use their newly acquired speech pattern in everyday life; the child reduces their time with the SLP
answer
maintenance
question
the student is taught to identify sounds and to discriminate the correct production of the target sound from an incorrect production
answer
ear training
question
a technique used in treating speech sound disorders in which the clinician provides a spoken model of the target sound
answer
auditory stimulation
question
involves instructing the child where to place the articulators to produce the target sound correctly
answer
phonetic placement
question
the child moves in small steps from a sound that he can produce correctly to the target sound
answer
successive approximation
question
the student must generalize the correct production of the target sound from the position it was established (initial, medial, final) to other positions in words
answer
position generalization
question
clinicians are concerned with extending the correct production of a sound to all phonetic environments
answer
context generalization
question
involves maintenance of the correct production of a sound or sound pattern in increasingly more complex utterances
answer
linguistic unit generalization
question
concerned with applying the skills learned with one sound to the correct production of similar sounds
answer
sound and feature generalization
question
the child learns that "good speech" is not just expected in therapy, but all situations they encounter (ex home, school). this is where parents and teachers are particularly helpful
answer
situation generalization
question
the child is asked to produce the incorrect sound or speech pattern intentionally to contrast it with the correct version; occurs during maintenance
answer
negative practice
question
the student becomes aware of which pattern must be corrected
answer
conceptualization
question
two words differing by a single sound or feature ex: "cat" and "bat"
answer
minimal pairs
question
A SLP can place speech goals, activities, exercises, progress charts, instructions, and comments to communicate with parents and teachers
answer
speech notebook
question
The SLP designs procedures that enrich language for the whole class but still allow for targeting specific language skills for students with phonological disorders
answer
whole-class language experience
question
A procedure where some, if not all, of the tongue is removed
answer
glossectomy
