Motor Speech Disorders
A group of neuromuscular impairments resulting from disturbances in the CNS and PNS that control the muscles of speech production resulting in a "slurred speech" quality.
Dysarthria
Swallowing disorders increase the risk of choking and may lead to ____________________ . (penetration into the respiratory system)
Aspiration
This part of the ear connects the middle ear cavity with the nasopharynx.
Eustachian tube
This professional provides AAC interventions creating a need for communication with an AAC, identifies opportunities for communication, and maximizes the instructional benefit.
Speech-language pathologist
Aided AAC systems are grouped as which of the following:
No tech ranging to high tech
manual vs. automatic
digital vs. synthetic
No tech ranging to high tech
This neurological disorder is characterized by groping attempts to find the correct articulatory position, variability in repeated attempts, omissions, additions, and difficulty sequencing.
Apraxia of speech
Respiratory
When the hair cells in the basilar membrane move and vibrate in response to sound, _____________ transmitters are released.
Chemical or neuro transmitters
AAC intervention will be most effective if caregivers also use AAC with SPEECH called ______________ input.
Augmented
This is an access method in which individuals may select an item by pointing with a finger, hand, head pointer, joy stick, or eye gaze.
Direct selection
Dysarthria can affect timing of movement, range of movement, and _________________ of movement.
Speed of movement
In this phase of swallowing, the tongue and cheeks move food to the teeth to form a solid bolus.
Oral preparatory phase
The conductive system of the ear is made up of the outer ear and the ______________ ear.
Middle ear
Abandonment of an AAC system for communication is typically due to this.
Loss of a partner/facilitator for support.
These types of systems for AAC do not involve any external equipment.
Aided or Unaided
Unaided
This condition results in unilateral damage to the facial nerve that usually resolves spontaneously with dysarthria that is flaccid causing mild articulatory imprecision.
Bell's Palsy
In this phase of swallowing, the bolus is moved from the front to the back of the oral cavity.
Oral phase
The cochlea and auditory nerve comprise the _____________ system of the ear.
Sensorineural system
Intervention considerations for AAC use and communication include positioning for clients with motor impairments, use of meaningful interactions, and use of the device in ADL's which stands for ______________________ .
Activities of daily living
This access method involves the client assembling a message through a series of switch activations in which choices are presented sequentially.
Scanning
The ________________ nervous system consists of 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves.
Peripheral nervous system
In this phase of swallowing, muscles move the bolus in peristaltic contractions into the stomach.
Esophageal phase
The replacement of healthy bone with spongy bone in the area of the stapes footplate is identified as this condition.
Otosclerosis
True of false: AAC vocabulary selection is based on client's needs, client's likes, and client's preferences.
True
AAC interventions with a device must include which of the following:
long term goals
short term needs
Both long term and short term needs
Both long term and short term needs
