Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Apraxia is a condition where there is an impairment in motor programming, specifically for speech sound production. Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder where there is weakness or paralysis of the muscles used for speech, rather than an impairment in motor programming. Microglossia is a condition where the tongue is abnormally small, which could potentially affect speech production, but it is not specifically an impairment in motor programming. Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate and understand language, but it is not specific to speech sound production.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Dysarthria can affect not only the articulatory system, but also other aspects of speech production, such as respiratory support, phonation, resonance, and prosody.

Question 7

Speech sound disorders typically occur in isolation of other disorders.

Accepted Answer

Speech sound disorders often co-occur with other disorders, such as language disorders or developmental disabilities.

Question 9

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. The hard palate is the bony structure that forms the roof of the mouth and separates the oral and nasal cavities. A patient may require an obturator if they have had surgery to remove part of the palate due to cancer or trauma. The obturator is custom-made for each patient and is designed to fit snugly against the remaining hard palate, helping the patient to speak and eat more comfortably.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

Down Syndrome is caused by an extra 21st chromosome. Fragile X is caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes overgrowth, and cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder caused by brain damage.

Question 11

Hearing loss can affect speech sound production as well as:

Accepted Answer

Suprasegmentals refer to the aspects of speech beyond individual sounds, such as tone, stress, and intonation. Hearing loss can affect an individual's ability to hear and produce these suprasegmentals, which can impact their overall speech intelligibility. Eyesight, intelligence, and fine motor skills are not directly related to speech sound production.

Question 12

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 13

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

Accepted Answer

The tongue is a very adaptable muscle and can compensate for the loss of up to 50% of its volume due to surgical removal or injury. This is because the tongue is made up of many different muscles that can work together to perform various functions such as swallowing, speaking, and chewing.

Question 14

Cleft lip always results in a speech sound disorder.

Accepted Answer

While cleft lip can affect speech production, not every individual with cleft lip will necessarily develop a speech sound disorder. Factors such as the severity of the cleft and the extent of medical intervention can impact the likelihood of developing speech difficulties. Speech therapy can also address any speech sound issues that may arise.

Question 15

The connection between speech sound disorders and stuttering may be:

Accepted Answer

Both speech sound disorders and stuttering are related to motoric difficulties in speech production. Speech sound disorders involve difficulties in producing specific sounds or sound patterns, while stuttering involves disruptions in the timing and coordination of speech movements. Both may involve problems with motor planning or execution. Choices A, B, and C are not as closely linked to motoric difficulties in speech production.

Question 16

An enlarged tongue is called:

Accepted Answer

An enlarged tongue is called macroglossia. Microglossia refers to an abnormally small tongue, and glossectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the tongue. Macrolinga is not a recognized medical term.

Question 17

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

Accepted Answer

The answer of Name three genetic disorders that are related...

Question 18

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 co-occurring expressive language disorder, meaning they have difficulty with producing language, rather than receptive language disorder, which affects their understanding of language.
