Question 21

Diagram and explain the Speech Chain Model.

Question 22

A young child 2 to 3 years old) who exhibits a developmental lag in language is called autistic.

Question 23

A language disorder is impaired comprehension or use of spoken, written, or other symbol systems.

Question 24

The terminology language delayed or a late talker is used because language impairment cannot be reliably diagnosed in young children in the absence of a primary disorder.

Question 25

Identify and define the domains of language, the components of each domain, and give examples of the skills children need to communicate effectively in each domain.

Question 26

Explain what this chapter has taught about speech disorders, how you will use this information in your work with children, and what additional skills and knowledge you need to become a practitioner.

Question 27

Receptive language refers to an individual's ability to understand and process language.

Question 28

The Speech Chain Model demonstrates significant challenges confronting the language learner. Identify and explain these challenges.

An example of the use of Behaviorist Theory is when practitioners observe children's play behaviors to informally gauge children's general cognitive ability and level of representational thought.

Question 30

The Communication Subdomains explain the sequence of skills children learn as they develop language.

Question 31

The speech chain includes three levels; the motor/physical, the acoustic, and the linguistic.

Question 32

Language difference is a result a variation of a symbol system used by a group of individuals that reflects and is determined by shared regional, social, or cultural/ethnic factors.

Question 33

Receptive and expressive language occurs at the acoustic level of the communication system.

Question 34

Because vocabulary development is essential to success in school, intervention always begins at Subdomain 2.
