Speech Disorder | difficulty producing sounds as well as disorders of voice quality (ex. a hoarse voice) or fluency of speech, often referred to as stuttering |
Language disorder | difficulty receiving understanding, or formulating ideas and information |
receptive language disorder | characterized by difficulty receiving or understanding information |
expressive language disorder | characterized by difficulty formulating ideas and information |
cleft palate or lip | a condition in which a person has a split in the upper part of the oral cavity or the upper lip. |
dialect | a language variation that a group of individuals uses and that reflects shared regional, social, or cultural'ethnic factors |
speech | the oral expression of language |
language | a structured, shared, rule-governed, symbolic system for communicating. Five components: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics |
Phonology | the use of sounds to make meaningful syllables and words. Encompasses the rules and sequencing of individual speech sounds (called phonemes) and how they are produced, depending on their placement in a syllable or word |
morphology | the system that governs the structure of words. |
morpheme | the smallest meaningful unit of speech |
syntax | provides rules for putting together a series of words to form sentences |
semantics | refers to the meaning of what is expressed |
pragmatics | refers to the use of communication in contexts |
Social interaction theories | emphasize that communication skills are learned through social interactions |
Articulation | a speaker's production of individual or sequenced sounds |
substitutions | when a child substitutes a letter for another letter or sound. (Ex. substituting "th" for "d" |
omissions | occur when a child leaves a phoneme out of a word (ex. boo for blue) |
additions | when a student places a vowel between to consonants (ex. tree to tahree) |
distortions | modifications of the production of a phoneme in a word (ex. lisp) |
apraxia | a motor speech disorder that affects the way in which a student plans to produce speech |
pitch | determined by the rate of vibration in the vocal folds |
duration | the length of time any speech sound requires |
intensity | loudness or softness - based on the perception of the listener and determined by the air pressure coming from the lungs through the vocal folds. |
resonance | the perceived quality of someone's voice - determined by the way in which the tone coming from the vocal folds is modified by the spaces of the throat, mouth, and nose |
hypernasility | type of resonance trait in which air is allowed to pass through the nasal cavity on sounds other than m, n, and ng |
hyponasility | air is unable to pass through the nose and comes through the mouth - often results in a nasally sounding voice |
fluency | rate and rhythm of speaking |
specific language impairment | nan impairment not related to any physical or intellectual disability |
organic disorders | disorders caused by an identifiable problem in the neuromuscular mechanism of the person |
functional disorders | disorders with no identifiable organic or neurological cause |
congenital disorder | a disorder that occurs at or before birth |
acquired disorder | a disorder that occurs well after birth |
oral motor exam | the examination of the appearance, strength, and range or motion of the lips, tongue, palate, teeth, and jaw |
bilingual | uses two languages equally well |
bidialectal | uses two variations of a language - difficult to determine their primary language |
System for Augmenting Language (SAL) | focuses on augmented input of language - augment speech by activating the student's communication device in naturally occurring communication interactions at home and school and community |
