Articulation & Phonology
This common phonological process involves replacing a later developing sound with a simpler one.
Fronting (e.g., "tat" for "cat")
This form of language refers to the meaning of words and sentences.
Semantics
This fluency disorder is characterized by repetitions, prolongations, and blocks in speech.
Stuttering
This type of aphasia results in fluent but nonsensical speech with poor comprehension.
Wernicke's aphasia
This treatment approach focuses on modifying the environment and cues to support a child's communication skills.
Milieu therapy
This type of articulation error involves adding an extra sound to a word.
Epenthesis (e.g., "bulack" for "black")
A child who says "Daddy goed to the store" is demonstrating an error in this area of language.
Morphology (use of grammatical markers)
This term refers to difficulty swallowing.
Dysphagia
This disorder is characterized by word-finding difficulties and often occurs after a stroke.
Anomia
This behavioral therapy uses principles of positive reinforcement to increase desired behaviors and decrease unwanted behaviors.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Identify the minimal pair used to distinguish between the sounds /f/ and /θ/
Fan/than
This language disorder is characterized by difficulties with the social use of language.
Pragmatic Language Disorder
These two instrumental exams provide a visual image of the swallowing process.
FEES or MBS
This degenerative neurological disease can lead to aphasia, apraxia of speech, and changes in thinking and behavior. Changes in the frontal and temporal lobe of the brain cause it.
Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA)
These strategies are used to help someone with dysphagia swallow in the safest, most efficient way possible.
Compensatory strategies (e.g., posture changes, specific food textures)
This developmental articulation assessment tool provides a comprehensive analysis of a child's speech sound production
Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation (GFTA)
This language milestone typically occurs around a child's first birthday.
First words
Name the condition where the voice sounds hoarse, breathy, or strained.
Dysphonia
This swallowing disorder is caused by a weakness or lack of coordination in the muscles used for swallowing, often due to neurological conditions.
Neurogenic dysphagia
This treatment technique for speech sound disorders involves tactile and visual cues to help a child understand how to produce a sound correctly.
PROMPT therapy
This rare articulation disorder involves difficulty planning the movements necessary for clear speech in children.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
This type of bilingual assessment is designed to distinguish a true language disorder from challenges related to second language acquisition.
Dynamic Assessment
This neurological disorder often involves a combination of communication difficulties like aphasia, apraxia of speech, and dysphagia. Categorized by progressive muscle weakness.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
People with this disorder have difficulty understanding and using nonverbal communication, like facial expressions and tone of voice.
Right Hemisphere Disorder
This type of therapy focuses on the whole family as a unit and helps improve communication and problem-solving among family members.
Family Systems Therapy
