100
A surgical procedure involving removal of some or all of the tongue.
What is a glossectomy?
100
A genetic disorder which is also called Trisomy 21, due to an extra copy of chromosome 21. Speech difficulties are present due to cognitive impairment, relative macroglossia, low muscle tone and ear infections
What is Down Syndrome?
100
This term refers to openings in the palate.
What is Palatal Fistulae?
100
This disorder causing problems understanding language spoken by others can be co-morbid with speech sound disorders
What is a receptive language disorder?
200
A palatal closure through a prosthetic dental device
What is an obturator?
200
A genetic disorder is due to a mutation which turns off a section of the X chromosome. Males are more likely to be affected and speech difficulties due to cognitive impairment and phonological delays.
What is Fragile X?
200
When a person’s difficulty with speech sounds can be linked to an obvious etiology or cause Neurologic motor speech impairments characterized by slow, weak, uncoordinated movements of the speech mechanism. Caused by different lesions, trauma or disease which can result in central or peripheral nervous system damage. Can effect respiration, phonation, articulation, resonance and prosody.
What is an organic speech disorder?
200
This disorder which can be comorbid with speech sound disorders affects the fluency of speech and is more common in males.
What is stuttering?
300
When the palatal vault is re-established at a lower level than normal, requiring less bulk and mobility of the tongue for appropriate palatal lingual placement during speech
What is a Palatal Augmentation Process (PAP)?
300
When a normal sized tongue occurs within an oral cavity that is too small
What is relative macroglossia?
300
Motor speech disorder caused by brain damage characterized by impairment of motor speech programming with little weakness, paralysis or incoordination of speech mechanism. Usually affects articulation and prosody.
What is Apraxia?
300
This type of disorder which can be comorbid with speech sound disorders is characterized by abnormal pitch, resonance, and poor control over speech sound accuracy.
What is a voice disorder?
400
When one side of the body or a certain structure is overdeveloped.
What is hemihyperplasia?
400
This genetic disorder is related to an enzyme deficiency that prevents the complete metabolism of lactose (milk sugar). Toxic byproducts accumulate and can lead to severe neurological damage, causes cognitive and speech deficits.
What is Galactosemia?
400
Neurologic motor speech impairments characterized by slow, weak, uncoordinated movements of the speech mechanism. Caused by different lesions, trauma or disease which can result in central or peripheral nervous system damage. Can effect respiration, phonation, articulation, resonance and prosody.
What is Dysarthria?
400
This area of comorbidity accounts for at least 60 percent of individuals on school SLPs' caseloads according to ASHA.
What is ADHD?
500
When the tongue is larger than expected
What is true macroglossia?
500
This genetic disorder results in overgrowth. Difficulty with speech relates to macroglossia, overdevelopment of certain anatomical structures or cleft palate.
What is Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome?
500
When there is a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in another
What is bimodal hearing?
500
NSHS data suggest that almost 57 percent of school-age children with a speech sound disorder may also have this.
What is a voice disorder?
