NICU
Jane is a 13 month old female who was born 12 weeks premature. Her gestationally corrected age this number.
What is 10 months old.
This language domain is defined as the meaning of words and combinations of words in a language
Semantics
Includes iconic gestures which depict the size, action, or position of an object (e.g., the trajectory of a baseball). They also include metaphoric gestures which give concrete form to abstract ideas (e.g., a grabbing motion when talking about gaining a run) and deictic gestures which are used to refer to the location of an object in space (e.g., pointing to home base while recapping a close play).
This is a type of dysfluencies that is not developmentally appropriate.
Partial word repetition like m-m-milk
This domain of language is most impacted for people with ASD.
A NICU infant's heart rate, color and respiratory rate are all examples of this.
What is autonomic regulation. A SLP in the NICU monitors these along with the team to watch for signs of infant distress.
This pediatric standardized test assesses an individual’s consonant sound articulation and identifies types of misarticulation.
What is the Goldman Fristoe (GFTA-3)
A child 9-12 months develops any of these motor milestones:
Crawls
Sits without support
Can move into a sitting position without support
Can pull to stand
Stands while holding onto an adult, furniture, or some sort of support.
Can pull up to stand and walk along furniture for support
May start to talk a few steps without support
May start to stand alone
Can crawl over obstacles, including up a full flight of stairs
These are the three classic stuttering speech characteristics
Using the term autistic instead of "person with autism" is an example of this.
Identity first language.
An infant 8-12 month old demonstrates this milestone
What is
-Pointing at an object to indicate needs or something they want to show you
-Uses gestures to communicate
-Babble, imitate gestures and noises
A communication disorder that interferes with the development of language skills in children who have no hearing loss, intellectual disabilities or other confounding impact on language development.
What is SLI, also known as DLD?
Two components tested by this test:
Intelligence
A person's reasoning ability
What is an IQ test?
These are examples of secondary behaviors that a person with stuttering may exhibit while attempting speech
-Foot stomping, clapping, fist pounding
-Labored blinking
-Head turning, nodding
This psychological function refers to how we actively process specific information in our environment.
What is attention
A child this age should have at least 50 words in their vocabulary
What is 18-24 months
The MLU of the following sentence
The dogs jumped on me
What is 1.4 (7 morphemes: the dog -s jump -ed on me/Number of Different Words/NDW)
Distinctive feature analysis is used to treat this
Articulation
The goal of this stuttering intervention is to speak with less tension by increasing awareness of stuttering moments and reducing disfluencies.
Stuttering Modifications
These are the diagnostic criteria for autism.
A service essential for NICU babies to catch up to age-related peers by school age.
What is early intervention?
Explain the difference between articulatory and phonology disorders
Articulation disorders focus on errors (e.g., distortions and substitutions) in production of individual speech sounds. Phonological disorders focus on predictable, rule-based errors (e.g., fronting, stopping, and final consonant deletion) that affect more than one sound.
This is a perceptual assessment used to quantify clinician rating of a patient's vocal presentation and severity
CAPE-V
or
GRBAS
This is a well known, standardized stuttering assessment
SSI-4 (Stuttering Severity Instrument)
Developed to attempt to apply operant principles to more functional communicative situations
What is ABA? Applied Behavioral Analysis
