What is fronting?
Back sounds are replaced with front sounds
26
What is gliding?
Replacing a liquid with a glide
27
What is stopping?
Replacing a fricative or affricate with a stop
28
What is vowelization?
Replacing a consonant sound with a vowel sound
29
What is affrication?
Replacing a non-affricate with an affricate
30
What is deaffrication?
Replacing an affricate with a fricative or a stop
31
What is reduplication?
Repetition of a syllable
32
What is cluster reduction?
Reducing a group of consonants to a single consonant
33
What is final consonant deletion?
Omission of the final consonant in a word
34
What is initial consonant deletion?
Omission of the initial consonant in a word
35
What is weak syllable deletion?
Deletion of the weak syllable in a word
36
What is epenthesis?
Adding a schwa sound between two consonants
37
What are the movable articulators?
Mandible, tongue, lips, and velum
38
What are the immovable articulators?
Hard palate, alveolar ridge, and teeth
39
Define alveolar ridge
The area behind the teeth that's important in the production of a lot of consonants (when the tongue makes contact with it)
40
Define consonant
A phoneme that is produced with some degree of constriction
41
Define vowel
A phoneme that is produced with little to no constriction in the vocal tract
42
Define distinctive features
Features that are used to describe the phonemes of a language
43
Define IPA
International phonetic alphabet: the alphabet of the different sounds used in a language, represented with various symbols
44
Define immovable articulators
Structurs that aid in the structure and production of phonemes by providing a place of articulation for the movable articulators
45
Define movable articulators
Structures that aid in the shaping and production of phonemes by movement towards an immovable articulator
46
Define allophone
The different ways a sound can be said without changing the original meaning of the word
47
Define sonorant
The sound produced faces little to no constriction in the vocal tract, so the resonant qualities occur throughout the vocal tract
48
Define velopharyngeal closure
The closing off of the nasal passages from the other resonant cavities (necessary for the production of non-nasal sounds and for swallowing)
49
What are the two main categories of vocal development according to Oller's classification system?
Pre-linguistic and linguistic vocalizations.
50
True or False: Oller's classification system includes a stage called 'cooing'.
True.
51
Fill in the blank: The first stage of Oller's vocal development classification is called __________.
reflexive vocalizations.
52
What is the primary focus of Oller's classification system?
To categorize the different stages of vocal development in infants.
53
Which stage in Oller's classification is characterized by the production of repetitive consonant-vowel combinations?
Babbling stage.
54
What is independent analysis?
An inventory made without considering accuracy as compared to adult forms
55
What is relational analysis?
An inventory made with/by comparison to adult forms of langauge
56
What are some things that can cause differing reports?
- Procedure method - Children's familiarity with the vocabulary used - Differing ideas on when mastery is achieved (some say 75%, others 100%) - Individual factors such as age, gender, SES, language development, IQ, etc.
57
Speech sound disorder vs. speech sound difference
- Speech sound disorder: speech errors made due to articulatory or phonological issues - Speech sound difference: variations in production, such as dialectical differences, that do not indicate a disorder and do not impair communication
58
What does an SLP need to know to distinguish a sound difference from a disorder?
- The patient's first language - How this language may manifest in a second language (differences that won't indicate an issue) - Some knowledge of the sound system and rules of the primary language
59
What are some examples of screening strategies?
- Conversation with the patient, asking them questions, etc. - Standardized assessments - Speech sampling - Parent/teacher reports
60
How is screening related to comprehensive assessment?
Screening is the first step taken to determine if a child will need a more comprehensive assessment. It is designed to be a quick yes/no check of speech and language skills to figure out if a comprehensive assessment is needed.
61
What are the main goals of assessment of speech sound production?
Developing a diagnosis (determining areas of strength and weakness), and based on the diagnosis, forming a treatment plan that informs the team of the best method of intervention for the individual.
62
What will a comprehensive assessment likely include?
- Records review - Case history - Interviews (parent/caregiver/teacher) - Hearing screening - Oral structure and function assessment - Standardized tests - Spontaneous speech sampling
63
What should be addressed in a case history?
- Personal information - Referral source - Age at certain developmental milestones - Communication issues/questions - Number of languages spoken - Relevant biological information (infections/illnesses/pregnancy/overall health) - Medications/hospitalizations - Educational achievement - Relevant patterns/habits
64
When is phonological process analysis used?
When a phonological process should not be appearing anymore
65
What are some more informal measures of assessment and analysis?
- Speech sampling (often a better representation of a child's speech) - Activities/questions that will elicit certain responses - Stimulability testing
66
What is the goal of an oral structure and function assessment?
To know whether or not the structures/functions of the speech mechanism are working properly and whether they allow for adequate speech production or if they are impeding the child's language growth
