Disorders associated with articulation and phonological delay
Neuromuscular disorder (CP) • Cleft palate (the other CP) • Apraxia of speech • Organic disorders • Ankyloglossia • Glossectomy • Tongue thrust • Hearing loss
Cerebral palsy • Disorder of cerebral origin • Pre-natal, peri-natal, post-natal causes • Characterized by weakness or paralysis • Not a disease entity • Not communicable • Common speech disorder is dysarthria
Cleft palate • Opening (cleft) in the roof of the mouth affecting either the soft palate, hard palate, alveolar ridge (or combination) • Surgically repaired between 12-18 months • Secondary surgeries often necessary • Hypernasality often a primary characteristic if VPI • Other causes of VPI
Apraxia of speech • Acquired apraxia • Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) • Characteristics • Inconsistent errors • Groping, searching • Transpositions • Prosodic errors
Organic Disorders • Glossectomy • Ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) • Reverse swallow (tongue thrust)
Hearing loss • Articulation disorder affected by • Type of loss • Conductive loss vs. sensori-neural loss • Time of loss • Congenital or acquired • Pre-lingual or post-lingual • Degree of loss
Assessment of articulation • Standardized assessment of articulation or phonology • Intelligibility calculation • Stimulability
Intervention • Articulation or phonological approach? • Single phoneme/pattern or multiple-error approach?
Articulation approaches • Ear training • Production training • Establishment • Stabilization • Transfer & Carryover • Maintenance
Phonological approaches • Cycles Approach • Minimal pair therapy
