Final Case Summary I learned a lot about Miley over the two months that we worked together, but I learned about the things she likes through our interest survey. One thing that Miley really likes is winter, and she drew a snowman for me on her interest survey. She also told me that her favorite subject was the park, which I believe means recess. She really likes the televisions shows Mutt n’ Stuff, Wendy, and the Lion Guard (which is a spin-off of Lion King). Her favorite book is Tap Tap Bang…
X is a nine-year-old foster student who has moved around a lot due to foster-family changes. Currently, he is in a loving and stable environment with dads that adore him. This has done a great deal of good but has not made up completely for the lack of structure received in his earlier/ developmental years. Regardless of the activity, X is very active and always has a bunch on his mind. When I first met him, he was the one asking me questions before I had the chance to ask him, now we are equal…
Speech perception is the process by which the sounds of a language are heard, interpreted and understood. ‘Speech perception’ is defined as the receptive language process in which the input signal is speech. ‘Hearing’ is one of the sensory processes that may be used in speech perception. Thus “speech perception is a particular form of receptive language processing and hearing is a particular sensory modality contributing to speech perception” (Marschark & Spencer, 2011). Speech audiometry has…
Non-Pulmonic Consonants: Non-pulmonic consonants are consonants created without the guidance of air from the lungs. There are three types of non-pulmonic consonants: clicks, voiced implosives, and ejectives. Clicks are formed by placing two articulatory structures together and separating them rapidly. Voiced implosives are air that is inhaled to produce the desired sound. The air is used before it reaches the lungs. Ejectives are generated by upward movement of the closed glottis. Non-pulmonic…
Another component of analyzing invented spelling is breaking down phonics in each word. To analyze break this words down we look at the word phonemic elements. Cole did a fantastic job using these elements in his writing. The first word I looked at was “rokitchip”. This is how Cole phonemically spelled out rocket ship. The phonemic element he used in this word is consonant blends with the letters ch. Consonant blends are mixing two consonants together to make a new sound that combines their…

The word snuffles is synonymous with the action of sniffling and snivelling, meaning the sharp intake of breath or mucous which results in an audible sound. This word is supposedly not a commonly known English word, and is often replaced by its more common synonym “sniffling”. Originating from the Dutch word “snuffelen”, the word originally meant “to sniff about, pry”, which is similar to its modern day definition. To be more specific, the modern day definition of the term snuffling refers…
Frank Guenther talked about his research on the DIVA (Directions Into Velocities of Articulators) model. He explained that it is a neural network model, which deals with the creation of speech and the attainment of speech motor skills. Using computers he explained the model is able to regulate the actions of a vocal tract to create speech sounds. Guenther revealed that the DIVA model’s neural mappings are adjusted in a “babbling phase.” In this instance audio feedback from speech sounds is…
