What is esophageal speech? (focuses on using the esophagus to provide speech, no devices are used)
It's a patient who was DX with a cerebrovascular accident of the temporal lobe. The patient exhibits deficits in repetition, written expression, and aud comp. In addition, literal paraphasias are noted. These finding are consistent with what type of aphasia?
What is conduction aphasia?
It's the muscles or muscle groups that creates the most volume in the lungs during respiration.
What is the diaphragm?
It's an early intenttional communication skill that typically emerges in the months learding up to a child's first birthday. (what communicative function typically emerges first in this period)
What is protesting? (develops 8-10 months of age)
It's a 6yr old child who has difficulty producing regular/irregular plural forms. Intervention for this problem would best target language at the level of? (syntax, phonology, morphology, semantics)
What is morphology? (they are morphological markers)
It's the most appropriate for an SLP to treat hyperadduction of the vocal fold by having the client do.
What are light and gentle vocal-fold contacts? (will help to reduce tension and thus would be effective in treating hyperadduction of the vocal folds.)
It's an elderly patient with multiple diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (PD) presents to a home health SLP for treatment. The SLP recommends that the patient follow a mechanical soft diet with thin liquids, alternate bites and sips, take small bites, and have supervision when eating. Throughout the course of treatment, the patient exhibits a 12 percent weight loss with variable intake levels. To which of the following professionals is it most appropriate for the SLP to refer the patient?

It's what's best reflects simultaneous incorporation of the host culture's perspectives and values and maintenance of the native culture's perspective and values.

It's a benchmark that best aligns current research on typical communication development for 3 year old children. Approximately how many words are they expected to understand at this age?
What are 1,000 words?
It's a type of lower motor neuron dysarthria.
What is flaccid dysarthria?
It's a musc;e that is responsible for changing vocal pitch.
What is the cricothyroid? (tenses the vocal folds)
It's an SLP working with a 45-year-old patient with acquired expressive communication deficits is emphasizing reengagement by focusing on realistic (LIFE) short-term goals of the patient's choice. The SLP is primarily using which of the following approaches to therapy?
What is Life Participation Approach to Aphasia?
What is play based approach? (based on the age of the child)
It's a muscle that is commonly impaired in infacts with cleft lip and palate.
What is the tensor veli palatini muscle?
The tensor veli palatini muscle when contracted opens the auditory tube, equalizing middle ear pressure. When the tensor is not functioning properly, the auditory tube is not opened, pressure is not equalized, and fluid may accumulate in the middle ear. The tensor veli palatini travels around the hamulus of the sphenoid bone, where it has a fanlike appearance, and becomes the palatine aponeurosis, extending from the hard palate to the free border of the soft palate.
It's a characteristic of a mild TBI.
It's the number of continuing education hours that are required across a 3 yr certification renewal period to maintain CCC in SLP.
What is 30 contact hours? (Asha certification maintenance standards require that all CCC must accumulate 30 hr of professional development each 3 yrs.)
It's the most appropriate tx goal for clients who have had a laryngectomy?
What is restoration oral communication? (The ultimate treatment goal for clients who have had a laryngectomy is the restoration of oral communication, no matter how it is addressed)
