| Assessment | is the process by which decisions about intervention are made |
| Description | is the characterization of the features of a disorder |
| intellegibility | degree to which the acoustic signal (i.e., utterance produced) is understood by the listener |
| Comprehensibility | degree to which a listener understands an utterance produced by a speaker in a particular communication context |
| You are asked to see a patient for "slurred speech." On exam you note this is tongue deviates to the left, with atrophy and fasciculations. Where in the nervous system is the damage most likely to be? | left hypoglossal nerve - The presence of atrophy and fasciculations is only seen in flaccid paralysis (LMN disease). LMNs innervate ipsilateral muscles |
| Cerebellar Damage | Positive Rhomberg Intention Tremor |
| UMN damage | Positive Babinski Emotional Lability |
| LMN Damage | Fasciculations Hyporeflexia |
| Basal Ganglia Damage | Resting Tremor Festination |
| Abnormal Oral Motor Develeopment in CP | Spastic and dyskinetic cerebral palsy are characterized by persistent primitive reflexes which interfere with a childs's ability to reach appropriate developmental oral-motor milestones |
| Apraxia is different from Dysarthria | 1. consistency (dysarthria) vs. variability (apraxia) of errors 2. apraxic errors cannot be explained on the basis of weakness or incoordination |
| Apraxia is inconsistent | Inconsistency is a hallmark of apraxia of speech. However, errors can be predicted on the basis on phonetic and syllabic complexity. |
| Dysarthria | a collective name for a group of related speech disorders that are due to disturbances in muscular control (weakness, slowness, or incoordination) of the speech mechanism due to damage to the central or peripheral nervous system or both |
| Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment | 7 sections: -first 6 sections assess function of reflexes, respiration and various articulators (for speech and nonspeech tasks) -last section assesses intelligibility -typical profiles available for various types of dysarthria |
| Assessment of Intelligibility of Dysarthric Speech (AIDS) | -designed to provide a clinician-judged technique for measuring intelligibility in a clinical setting -provides objective measure of sentence and single word intelligibility during a reading or imitative speaking task |
| AIDS measurers obtained | Single word intelligibility (50 words) Transcription Forced choice Sentence intelligibility Transcription Speaking rate Rate of intelligible speech Communication efficiency ratio |
| AIDS tasks | *sentences vary from 5 - 15 words -also allows measurement of speaking rate -can get a measure of intelligibility (intelligible WPM) -may be useful in distinguishing mild from normal speakers (when single word production seems OK) |
| AIDS measures | Intelligibility (%) Speaking rate (WPM) Rate of Intelligible Speech (IWPM) Rate of Unintelligible Speech (UWPM) Communication Efficiency Ratio |
| Cerebral Palsy | -most common childhood handicapping condition in the US -brain injury either during gestation or before 3 years of age -incidence = 1.5-3/1000 live births estimates of dysarthria secondary to CP = 31-88% associated with low birth weight/prematurity |
| Hallmarks of Cerebral Palsy (Primitive postural reflex) | -Tonic neck reflex ('fencing posture’) -Positive supporting reaction -Infant makes automatic stepping movements when suspended vertically -Moro reflex (startle reflex) -Sucking and rooting response -Will turn toward stimulus and begin sucking |
| Hallmarks of Cerebral Palsy | persistence of primitive reflexes delays in achieving developmental milestones infant may display poor feeding ability, irritability, or disordered sleep patterns; later on, may evidence poor balance and an early hand preference |
| Cerebral Palsy Spastic Syndrome | -spastic hemiplegia/hemiparesis dysarthria and dysphagia not usually a big problem arm>leg -spastic diplegia (Little’s disease) difficulty sitting, walking, running - little difficulty with hands and fine motor -spastic quadriplegia (limb weakness) |

| Cerebral Palsy Dyskinetic Syndrome Speech | irregular articulatory breakdowns inappropriate silences prolonged intervals and speech sounds excessive loudness variation voice stoppage may be velopharyngeal incompetence |
| Cerebral Palsy Ataxic Syndromes | influences both posture and voluntary movement cerebellum receives info from the cortex re: initiation of movement so that it can make appropriate adjustments in muscle activity |
| Cerebral Palsy Ataxic Syndrome Neurologic Characteristics | errors in rate, range, force and direction of movement overshoot or undershoot spatial targets wide-based ataxic gait hypotonia |
| Cerebral Palsy Ataxic Syndrome Speech Characteristics | reflect impaired coordination may have difficulty coordinating respiratory activity with other aspects of speech |
| Apraxia | an acquired disorder caused by damage to cerebrum, characterized by loss of the ability to execute or carry out learned purposeful movements, but not caused by incoordination, sensory loss, or deficits of comprehension. MOTOR PLANNING |
| Apraxia of Speech | Disorder of speech resulting from neurologic impairment affecting the motor programming of speech (Darley, Aronson & Brown, 1975) |
| Motor Speech Processing | 3-stage/process division of the motor system planning programming execution |
| Factors Affections Errors in AOS | Syllabicity effects Syllable frequency/length/boundary Clusters within syllables tend to be more difficult than cluster across boundaries (e.g., stake vs. mistake) Word complexity More segments/syllable or syllables/word = more errors |
| Stage 1: Birth -3 months | infant possesses a pool of reflexes, or automatisms, that subserve survival rooting reaction suckle-swallow reflex reflexive closure of vocal folds |
| Stage 2: 4 - 12 months | Cortical control emerges, and patterns become less automatic. Modification of early patterns results in greater variability. Separation of tongue and lip movements from jaw movement appears in feeding but not in sound play. |
| Stage 3: 12 - 24 months | Higher levels of cortical control and sensory integration provide further modification of feeding movements. Previously meaningless oral movements become associated with verbal language. Feeding development involves |
| Stage 4: 24 - 36 months | Both feeding and speech movements can be executed at voluntary or automatic levels. New movements are learned at the cortical level, although the execution of automatic and routine feeding and speech patterns are mediated at a subcortical level. |
| Beyond Stage 5 | High-level systems of fine movement control refine speech production above the level of movement control necessary for feeding. Adult-like stability of speech motor control is probably not achieved until at least 8 years of age |
| Connection between Feeding and Speech | Possible correlations between motor skill development for feeding and for speech Patterns of sucking, swallowing, biting and chewing may provide basic movement patterns that are modified for speech. |
| Connection between Feeding and Speech II | Possible that the organization of sensory information guides flexible and fluent movement patterns feeding may provide a multisensory environment with frequent opportunities to organize and reorganize sensorimotor control. |
| Connection between Feeding and Speech III | Abnormal oral-motor development affects the emergence of the normal components that lead to efficient feeding and speech |
| Stability | Oral stability Depends on development of neck and shoulder girdle stability and control Facilitates efficient movement for feeding and speech |
