Word | Definition |
---|---|
Articulation Disorder | Disorder characterized by difficulty with the correct production of speech sounds |
Phonological Disorder | Disorder seen in students who have not mastered the rules used to manage speech sounds |
Substitutions | Occur when one sound is substituted for another ("tan" for "can") |
Distortions | Occur when a child attempts the appropriate phoneme but fails to produce it accurately (the "slushy" S of Sylvester the Cat) |
Omissions | Occur when the phoneme is deleted, and nothing is produced in its place ("ha" for "hat") |
Malocclusion | Misalignment of the teeth or an improper relationship between the upper and lower teeth |
Microglossia | Condition in which the tongue is smaller than normal |
Macroglossia | Condition in which the tongue is larger than normal |
Ankyloglossia | Condition in which the lingual frenum (the flap of tissue which holds the tongue to the floor of the mouth) is too short or attached too far forward ("tongue-tie") |
Tongue Thrust | Refers to a swallowing pattern in which the tongue comes forward, pressing against the the teeth and sometimes protruding between the teeth |
Dysarthria | Speech problem caused by damage to the central or peripheral nervous system which results in a weakening, paralysis, or loss of control over the muscles of the speech mechanism |
Apraxia of Speech | Condition in which the ability to program and sequence the motor movements required for the production of speech sounds is impaired as a result of brain damage |
Functional Factors | Problems for which there are no apparent structural, physiological, sensory, or neurological deficits |
Organic Factors | Result from structural, physiological, sensory, or neurological deficits |
Establishment | During this phase of articulation-phonology treatment, the sound or sound pattern to be taught is elicited and stabilized |
Generalization | During this phase of articulation-phonology treatment, correct production of the target sound or sound pattern spreads to additional words, linguistic units, and situations |
Maintenance | During this phase of articulation-phonology treatment, the student retains the correct production with decreasing support from the SLP |
Nonverbal Communicators | Children with limited language who do not use verbal language; they may communicate with gestures or a combination of gesture and vocalization, but never use identifiable words |
Single-Word Communicators | Children with limited language who speak primarily in 1-word utterances; they do not produce word combinations |
Alternative/Augmentative Communication (AAC) | Device such as a communication board or electronic communicator that assists the child with communication |
Early Multiword Communicators | Children with limited language who produce the most primitive and earliest developing combinations of words that have been reported in the language development literature |
Specifically Language Impaired (SLI) | Children who do not exhibit delays in domains other than communication such as motor skills, self-help abilities, social skills, or intelligence; communication is the primary developmental deficiency |
Self Talk | The language model verbalizes what they are seeing, hearing, doing, and feeling; useful for children who are reluctant to interact because it provides a model while making no demands on the child |
Parallel Talk | The language model talks about what the child sees, hears, does, and feels |
Expansions | The language model expands the child's utterances into a closer approximation of a grammatically correct utterance |
Expatiation | The language model expands the child's utterances and adds something new to the child's meaning |
Sentence Recasting | The language model does not change the child's meaning, but only adds grammatical information, such as substitution of pronouns for nouns |
Joint Referencing | Refers to both you and the child focusing attention on the same thing at the same time |
