Question 1

Hearing loss can affect speech sound production as well as:

Accepted Answer

Suprasegmentals refer to the stress, rhythm, and intonation patterns of speech, which are important for conveying meaning and emotion. Hearing loss can make it difficult for individuals to distinguish these patterns, thereby affecting their speech production. Eyesight, intelligence, and fine motor skills are not directly related to speech production.

Question 2

Newborn hearing screenings are universal in the United States.

Accepted Answer

False

Question 3

Name three genetic disorders that are related to speech sound disorders.

Accepted Answer

Down Syndrome, Fragile X, Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, and galactosemia

Question 4

An enlarged tongue is called:

Accepted Answer

The term used for an enlarged tongue is Macroglossia.

Question 5

Cleft lip always results in a speech sound disorder.

Accepted Answer

Cleft lip alone does not always result in a speech sound disorder. However, children with cleft lip and palate may have difficulty producing certain speech sounds due to the structural differences in their palate and mouth. Speech therapy can help address these issues.

Question 6

Name two professionals with whom SLPs will need to collaborate when working with individuals with cranio-facial anomalies.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Name two professionals with whom SLPs will...

Question 7

The connection between speech sound disorders and stuttering may be:

Accepted Answer

The connection between speech sound disorders and stuttering is primarily motoric in nature. Speech sound disorders and stuttering can result from difficulties in the movements involved in speech production, such as timing, coordination, and control of the vocal tract and articulators. Therefore, the motoric connection between these two disorders is the most significant factor.

Question 8

Speech sound disorders typically occur in isolation of other disorders.

Accepted Answer

Speech sound disorders can occur in conjunction with other disorders such as language disorders, hearing impairments, and developmental disabilities.

Question 9

The most common type of speech sound disorder has:

Accepted Answer

The most common type of speech sound disorder often has no known origin, which is why it is sometimes referred to as a functional speech sound disorder. This means that the exact cause of the disorder cannot be pinpointed in many cases, distinguishing it from disorders with clear genetic, psycholinguistic, or motoric origins.

Question 10

A dental appliance that is often used to replace part of the hard palate is called an:

Accepted Answer

An obturator is a dental appliance that is used to replace part of the hard palate, usually after surgery or trauma. It helps to restore speech and swallowing abilities as well as maintain proper oral function. The other choices (A) Appliance, (C) Velum, and (D) Obligator do not accurately describe the specific dental device.

Question 11

Compare and contrast the three proposed perspectives etiological, psycholinguistic, symptomology) for determining the possible classification of a child with a speech sound disorder of unknown origin. In your opinion, which is "the best" and why?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Compare and contrast the three proposed perspectives...

Question 12

A genetic disorder caused by an extra 21^st chromosome is called:

Accepted Answer

Down Syndrome is caused by having an extra copy of chromosome 21, resulting in 47 chromosomes instead of the typical 46. Fragile X is caused by a genetic mutation on the X chromosome, Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome is caused by abnormalities in chromosome 11, and cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the brain before, during, or shortly after birth.

Question 13

Dysarthria is a neuromotor disorder that only affects the articulatory system.

Accepted Answer

Dysarthria is a neuromotor disorder that can affect all aspects of speech production, including respiration, phonation, articulation, resonance, and prosody.

Question 14

__________ is an impairment in motor programming, specific to speech sound production.

Accepted Answer

Apraxia is defined as a motor programming impairment that affects the ability to plan and execute movements needed for speech sound production. Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that affects the muscles responsible for speech production, while microglossia refers to an abnormally small tongue and aphasia refers to language impairments caused by damage to the brain. Therefore, the best answer is A) Apraxia.

Question 15

Children with speech sound disorder are more likely to have a co-occurring expressive, as opposed to receptive, language disorder.
:

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that children with speech sound disorder are more likely to have difficulties with producing and expressing language than with understanding and comprehending language, which indicates a co-occurrence with expressive language disorder rather than receptive language disorder.

Question 20

The tongue is an adaptable muscle that can compensate even when part of it is surgically removed.

Accepted Answer

The tongue is indeed an adaptable muscle that can compensate for the loss of a portion of it through surgery. This ability is due to the tongue's complex system of muscles, nerves, and sensory receptors, which enable it to adjust and adapt to changes in its structure or function. For example, if part of the tongue is removed, the remaining muscles and tissue can learn to compensate for the missing area, allowing the person to speak and eat normally. However, in some cases, extensive surgery may result in permanent changes to the tongue's shape and function, which can affect speech and swallowing.
