1) What are some possible correlates of phonological and articulatory impairments? These disorders are not promptly available, in some cases the causes are unknown. The correlations can occur together, or in some cases one is not necessarily caused by the other. Some of the possible factors of phonological and articulatory impairments can be developmental impairment in speech-sound production, language impairment in their production of sounds of the language, hearing impairments which enable them to acquire speech sounds or neuromuscular disorder that can cause weakness, paralysis or poor coordination of speech muscles.

Before an utterance is produced the motor plan/production in the brain is needed to produce accurate production. Articulation issues consist of speech errors which result in incorrect production of phonemes it is also characterized as substitutions when on phoneme is replaced with another, omissions is to delete a phoneme, distortions is when a nonstandard form of a phoneme is used or additions. Apraxia of speech is a neurological disorder where an articulation issue is a production …show more content…
The factors that contribute to intelligibility that can have a negative impact on communication effectiveness. These factors can be the persons voice,, fluency, rate, rhythm, language and use of gestures. The way to measure intelligibility is to transcribe continuous speech, then the percentage of intelligible words is computed; the formula is the percentage of intelligible words- total number of words, divided by the number of intelligible words, multiplied by one hundred.
6) Why is stimulability a good thing? The stimulability is a very good tool when treating children, it allow the child to have a level of interaction where they can have the SLP have a hands on approach. The child would be able to hear the correct production of an error of phoneme or pattern. The SLP is giving the child the ability to self-correct outside of therapy. This form of therapy is beneficial for children who have low stimulability scores. 7) How does the bottoms-up approach and a cycles approach
