|
Prevalence: |
The number/percentage of people within a specified population who have a particular disorder or condition at a point in time |
|
Assessment of communication disorders: |
The systematic process of obtaining information from multiple sources, through various means, and in different settings to verify and specify communication strengths and weakness, identify possible causes of problems, and make plans to address them |
|
Diagnosis: |
Distinguishes an individual’s difficulties from the broad range of possible problems |
|
Diagnostic therapy |
Working with the client over time to better determine strengths and weaknesses |
|
Deciding Whether There is a Problem-Assessment Procedures |
•Authentic data •Norm referenced tests •Criterion referenced tests •Dynamic assessment •Speech or language sampling |
|
Baseline Data |
Measurement of the client’s accuracy before beginning intervention |
|
Intervention With Communication Disorders Behavioral Objectives |
•A statement that specifies the target behavior in anobservable and measurable way - A: Actor - B: Behavior - C: Condition - D: Degree |
|
•Direct Teaching |
–Behavior modification (stimulus and reinforcement) |
|
Measuring Effectiveness |
Post-therapy tests -Effective therapy shows generalization, self-correction, and automaticity |
|
Anatomy |
The study of the structures of the body and therelationship of these structures to one another |
|
Physiology |
The study of the functions of organisms and bodily structures |
|
Three physiological subsystems for speech |
Respiratory system Phonatory system Articulatory/resonating system |
|
Respiratory system: |
-The driving force for speech •Primary biological functions: Supply oxygen to theblood and remove excess carbon dioxide •Also serves as the generating source for speech |
|
Phonatory system |
Anatomical structures vibrate, setting air molecules in the vocal tract into multiple frequencies of vibration |
|
Articulatory/resonating system: |
An acousticfilter that allows certain frequencies to pass whileblocking other frequencies |
|
Muscles of the Respiratory System |
•Inspiratory Muscles –Diaphragm: Contracts during inspiration, pulling down and forward, increasing lung volume •Muscles of Expiration –Assist diaphragm’s movement back to its relaxed position |
|
• Resting Tidal Breathing |
–Breathing to sustain life –Inspiration: Diaphragm contracts, rib cage and lungsexpand, lung volume increases and alveolar pressuredrops, air rushes in –Expiration: Rib cage wall size decreases, lungs compressed,pressure within lungs increases, causing air to rush out |
|
Speech Breathing |
–Inspiration: Rapid, greater amount of air –Expiration: Much longer than inspiration –Inspiratory and expiratory muscles activated during speech |
|
Resting tidal breathing rate decreased from birth toadulthood |
More aveoli |
|
Larynx |
-Main sound generator for speech production -Primary biological function is to prevent foreign objects from entering the trachea and lungs -Consists of the thyroid, arytenoid, and cricoid cartilages, attached via ligaments and membranes |
|
The Vocal Folds |
-Front attachment: Midline of the thyroid cartilage -Back attachment: Arytenoid cartilages via the vocal ligament -Abduct during respiration and adduct duringphonation |
|
The Articulatory/Resonating System |
-composed of oral cavity, nasal cavity, pharyngeal cavity (vocal tract) -Vocal tract: Acoustic tube that shapes soundenergy produced by respiratory and laryngealsystems into speech sounds |
|
Facial skeleton and cranium |
22 bones |
|
Structures of the Articulatory/Resonating System |
• Facial skeleton and cranium (22 bones) • Mandible articulates with the temporal bone by the temporomandibular joint • Teeth • Tongue • Velum (soft palate) |
|
Velum |
–Uvula –Velopharyngeal closure: Contact with the velum and thelateral and posterior pharyngeal walls –Necessary to prevent air/food escaping through the noseand to build air pressure for pressure sounds –Nasal quality if air escapes |
|
The Speech Production Process |
•Begins with phonation •Tracheal/alveolar pressure builds up beneathadducted vocal folds •Elastic properties result in vocal folds colliding,closing off the airway •Fundamental frequency: Number of cycles persecond •Harmonics: Whole-number multiples of the F0 •Movement of the tongue, lips, and larynx changethe shape of the vocal tract and modify sound |
