It outlines the stages of the speaking process and various classification systems and intervention approaches for treating speech sound disorders in children, including core vocabulary therapy, cycles therapy, dynamic temporal and tactile cueing, and minimal pair therapies.
Speech sound disorders is an umbrella term referring to any combination of difficulties with perception, motor production, and/or the phonological representation of speech sounds and speech segments that impact speech intelligibility.
Known causes of speech sound disorders include motor-based disorders (apraxia and dysarthria), structurally based disorders and conditions (e.g., cleft palate and other craniofacial anomalies), syndrome/condition-related disorders (e.g., Down syndrome) and sensory-based conditions (e.g., hearing impairment.
Speech sound disorders include Articulation disorder & Phonological disorder.
Assessments include screening and detailed comprehensive assessment.
Effective treatment of speech sound disorder include Contrast therapy, Core vocabulary approach ,Cycles Approach, Distinctive feature therapy, Naturalistic speech intelligibility intervention,Non speech oral motor therapy,Speech sound perception training.
Immittance audiometry uses measurements of acoustic impedance and admittance to assess middle ear function. It is a non-invasive and non-behavioral test. Key measures include tympanometry to evaluate the mobility of the eardrum and ossicular chain, and acoustic reflex thresholds to assess the function of the middle ear muscles and brainstem pathways. Abnormal immittance test results can help diagnose conditions like middle ear fluid, ossicular discontinuity, or retrocochlear lesions.

1) Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage to the central nervous system, most commonly from stroke, tumor, trauma, or disease.
2) Symptoms of childhood aphasia include difficulties with word-finding, vocabulary, comprehension, pronunciation, grammar, and reading/writing.
3) Recovery is generally faster and more complete in children than adults, though the right hemisphere can take over language functions if damage occurs early enough in the left hemisphere.
There are two main types of articulation disorders: functional and organic. Functional disorders are caused by faulty learning when physical structures appear normal. Organic disorders have a physical cause like damage to the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, or oral structures. Some organic disorders include apraxia of speech, dysarthria, cerebral palsy, cleft palate, and degenerative neurological diseases. Apraxia of speech and dysarthria affect coordination of speech sounds and prosody. Cerebral palsy and cleft palate can impact respiration, phonation, articulation, and language development.
1) Language and speech development is a complex process that almost every human child succeeds in learning. It involves the development of language, communication of thoughts and feelings through symbols, and speech, the act of expressing thoughts through words.
2) Children progress through different stages in their first few years, starting with babbling, then their first words around 12 months, word combinations around 2 years, and simple sentences by 3-4 years old. Their ability to produce sounds also develops over time as they learn the phonetic patterns of their native language.
3) The development involves both biological and learned aspects. It provides insights into the human mind as children figure out the rules and structures of their ambient language through social interaction
Auditory verbal therapy is an early intervention program that trains parents to maximize their hearing impaired child's speech and language development through normal age-appropriate communication using the auditory sense. The therapy focuses on developing listening, speech, language, and communication skills through play-based activities guided by principles of auditory development, parental guidance, and use of hearing technology to access all sounds. Auditory verbal therapists work one-on-one with parents and children to coach parents as the primary facilitators of their child's listening and spoken language development.

Csd 210 articulation disorders - fall 2010Jake Probst
This document discusses articulation development, differences, and disorders. It defines articulation disorders as difficulties producing speech sounds that can cause substitutions, omissions, additions, or distortions of sounds. Phonological disorders involve problems applying the sound rules of a language. Articulation disorders are common and have various causes like structural impairments, functional impairments, or unknown etiologies. Assessment of articulation involves testing sounds at the word and sentence level as well as in connected speech. Treatment aims to improve accuracy of target sounds across linguistic contexts.
1. Auditory-verbal therapy (AVT) is an approach that uses techniques to promote optimal language acquisition through listening for children with hearing loss using hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other technology. It emphasizes speech and listening development.
2. AVT includes early identification of hearing loss, fitting of amplification devices, guidance for parents, and one-on-one therapy to help children learn to listen and communicate through spoken language.
3. The goals of AVT are to help children develop auditory skills like sound awareness and processing of language to facilitate natural communication development and inclusion in mainstream classrooms.
Sensory Aids for Persons with Auditory ImpairmentsDamian T. Gordon
There are two basic approaches to assistive technology for auditory impairments: augmentation of existing pathways and use of alternative pathways. Augmentation involves amplifying sounds to improve reception of certain frequencies for those who are hard of hearing. Alternative pathways include tactile substitution, where sounds are felt through touch, and visual substitution, using displays to represent sounds. Examples of aids discussed include hearing aids, cochlear implants, visual alarms, and computerized speech and text.
Language disorders involve problems processing linguistic information and can affect grammar, semantics, comprehension, production, or a combination. Receptive language disorders impair comprehension while expressive disorders affect language production. Symptoms vary but can include not listening, lack of interest in stories, inability to understand complex sentences, and language skills below age level. Communication disorders also impact ability to communicate through speech, writing, or sign language. Specific disorders discussed include dyslexia, dysgraphia, stuttering, Down syndrome, autism, and ADHD.
This document provides an overview of stuttering, including its definition, causes, characteristics, and impact. Some key points:
- Stuttering is characterized by repetitions, prolongations, or blocks in speech. It affects around 1% of school children and has a 3:1 ratio of males to females.
- Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to stuttering. Family studies show it runs in families while twin studies find higher concordance in identical twins.
- Core behaviors include repetitions, prolongations, and blocks. Secondary behaviors are efforts to avoid or escape stuttering.
- Around 50-80% of children recover from stuttering without treatment, suggesting maturation allows recovery. Language
This document discusses various considerations and guidelines for selecting target sounds, phonological processes, and therapy approaches for phonological intervention. It provides principles for selecting early developing sounds, sounds in the child's inventory that are stimulable, and sounds that impact intelligibility. Guidelines are presented for choosing phonological processes that are easy to remediate or crucial to the child's speech. Different cycles, instructional sequences, and therapy approaches like minimal pairs are summarized that focus on developing contrasts.
1. Behavioral tests are used to evaluate hearing in infants and young children, including behavioral observation audiometry for infants under 6 months and condition orientation reflex audiometry (CORA) for children 6 months to 1 year old.
2. CORA uses operant conditioning to teach the child to orient towards a sound source to receive a visual reinforcement from a lighted toy.
3. Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) and tangible reinforcement operant conditioning audiometry (TROCA) build on CORA principles to test older children using reinforcement strategies.
4. Conditioned play audiometry (CPA) teaches children ages 2-4 to perform tasks after hearing tones to make the
This document provides an overview of language disorders, including their classification, characteristics, and neurological underpinnings. It discusses the key elements of communication and defines speech and language. The four domains of language are identified as phonology, grammar, semantics, and pragmatics. Common speech and language disorders are then outlined, including their symptoms, causes, and brain regions involved. The major types discussed are fluency disorders like stuttering, articulation disorders, voice disorders, and language disorders involving expression and reception. Bilingualism and its effects on language development are also addressed.
This document discusses the anatomy and physiology of speech production. It explains that speech requires respiration to provide air flow from the lungs, phonation in the larynx where the vocal cords vibrate, and articulation using the tongue, lips and palate to form specific sounds. The four main components covered are respiration, phonation, articulation, and resonance. Respiration provides the air flow, phonation vibrates the vocal cords to produce sound, articulation shapes the sounds, and resonance is influenced by the size of the vocal tract.
This document discusses the importance of early identification of hearing loss in infants. It notes that hearing loss is the most common birth defect, affecting 3 in 1000 babies, but is often not diagnosed until age 3 on average. However, studies have shown that children identified with hearing loss before 6 months who receive early intervention demonstrate better language and social skills development compared to later diagnosed children. The document advocates for universal newborn hearing screening to screen all babies before 1 month of age and diagnose hearing loss by 3 months so that appropriate intervention can begin by 6 months of age.
Audiology began as the study of hearing but has evolved into a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing and treating hearing and balance disorders. Audiologists are trained to identify, assess, diagnose, treat, and manage conditions affecting the auditory and vestibular systems through behavioral, physiologic, and electrophysiologic testing. The profession has developed from roots in speech pathology programs after World War II to a clinical doctorate degree (Au.D.) as the standard for entry-level practice in many countries. Audiologists work in a variety of settings and their scope of practice continues to expand with technological and clinical advances.
This document discusses stuttering, including its definition, incidence and prevalence, differential diagnosis from normal non-fluency, onset and development patterns. It notes that stuttering typically begins between ages 2-5 and outlines guidelines for differentiating normal dysfluencies from abnormal ones associated with stuttering. The need for early identification and treatment of stuttering is also mentioned.
Communication problems and intervention for children with autismfouzia saleemi
This document provides information on communication problems and interventions for children with autism. It begins with definitions of autism and discusses how autism impairs communication, socialization, and sensory processing. It then outlines DSM-IV criteria for communication and social impairments in autism. Common communication issues seen in autism are described, including deficits in language comprehension and expression. Several treatment approaches are summarized, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACHH), Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS), and biomedical interventions. Guidelines are provided for evaluating language in children with autism. The document concludes
Earmolds are custom molded to fit a patient's ear based on an ear impression in order to create a sound path from the hearing instrument to the ear canal and retain the hearing instrument. They come in occluding or non-occluding designs and use various materials, shapes, and bore sizes to optimize acoustic performance, comfort, and retention while fitting to the individual needs and preferences of the patient. Other coupling options besides custom earmolds include slim tubes with domes or receiver-in-canal hearing instruments.
Educational Audiology: Auditory-Verbal Therapy and Cued Speechalexandracostlow
The document discusses Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) and Cued Speech. It provides information on what each approach involves, outcomes of research studies on AVT, and principles of AVT. AVT utilizes residual hearing to teach children to listen and speak without relying on visual cues. Research shows children who receive early AVT intervention achieve independence and mainstreaming. Cued Speech supplements spoken language with hand shapes and locations near the mouth to make all speech sounds visible.
More than 3 million children in the US have hearing loss. Hearing aids and FM systems can help amplify sounds for mild to moderate losses, but have limitations like background noise. Cochlear implants directly stimulate the auditory nerve for those with severe to profound deafness. They are expensive but allow understanding of speech and higher frequencies. FM systems paired with hearing aids improve classroom listening by reducing noise and increasing sound quality and volume from the teacher.
When a child or adult suffering with communication disorder, it is necessary to perform a speech & language evaluation. we perform it after case history. This assessment should be performed by a speech language pathologist. In this assessment a SLP is asked about mode of communication,language background,details about receptive and expressive verbal and nonverbal communication.There will be an assessment of all oral peripheral mechanism in the form of appearance and function.In the end there will be assessment of formal tests as REELS,SECS and many more.In the end SLP will give provisional diagnosis and recommendations.
1. Hearing tests are important for children to identify any hearing loss as early as possible to help with speech and language development.
2. Common hearing tests for infants include otoacoustic emissions testing, auditory brainstem response testing, and auditory steady state response testing which are painless tests to check the infant's hearing.
3. Hearing tests for toddlers include visual reinforcement audiometry which uses visual rewards to condition the child's response to sounds, and play audiometry which uses games and toys to test hearing.

The document outlines five golden rules for teaching language through a lexical approach:
1. Use lexical materials like texts that students want to discuss, and exploit texts through lexical exercises focusing on words, collocations, expressions, and grammar as lexis.
2. Foster linguistic awareness by encouraging students to notice word combinations and typical expressions, and warn about direct translation.
3. View errors as opportunities to reformulate language rather than punitive correction, allowing student interlanguage to guide the class.
4. Use the "triple X" approach of explain, exemplify, and expand when teaching vocabulary.
5. Have students regularly practice language through revision questionnaires and discussion questions.
Cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and develops slowly over time. Screening through regular Pap tests can detect precancerous changes in the cervix so they can be treated before cancer develops. Most cervical cancers are preventable with vaccination against HPV and appropriate screening. Screening guidelines recommend annual Pap tests beginning at age 21 and can be less frequent or stop at age 70 if previous results have been normal. Abnormal results may require further tests like colposcopy and HPV testing and possible treatment of precancerous lesions.

Naomi is asked to assess whether Lisa, a 15-year-old girl with low intellectual function, can validly consent to labioplasty surgery. Naomi accepts the role but does not disclose her personal bias against cosmetic surgery. She conducts a thorough assessment of Lisa's mental health and intellectual capacity. This includes tests for depression, anxiety, body dysmorphia, trauma, and IQ. Based on the results, which show Lisa has the capacity to understand the procedure, Naomi recommends the committee find Lisa able to consent. She also proposes family meetings and limits on further surgeries to ensure Lisa's best interests and care.
Parole officers help supervise offenders who have been conditionally released from prison before completing their full sentences. They assess prisoners for parole eligibility, monitor parolees' compliance with release terms, and help them reintegrate into the community by finding jobs, housing, and treatment programs. The work involves regular meetings with parolees and recommending whether parole should be revoked if terms are violated. A bachelor's degree is preferred for the job, along with experience in criminal justice fields. Employment is expected to grow around the average for all occupations as states reconsider mandatory sentencing laws. Salaries range from around $26,000 to over $66,000 annually depending on location and experience.

Hello All,
I currently reside in Virginia; The Virginia Department of Health Professions is responsible for ensuring safe and adequate care by licensing health professionals. In Virginia, the department registers over 400,000 health care practitioners and facilities (Virginia Department of Health, 2021). There are four professions regulated by the board of social work. Those which consist of a licensed clinical social worker, licensed master's social worker, licensed baccalaureate social worker and a supervisee in clinical social work.
According to this department, one pursuing a social work license needs to graduate with a MSW from a CSWE accredited program; then apply for supervision approval; gain post MSW degree supervised experience in the field (3000 hours); apply for an LCSW licensure examination; then pass the ASWB clinical level examination (Virginia Department of Health, 2021). The cost for the initial exam is $230. While a licensed social worker will make a difference in the world, it is .
Accommodation Conversation: Strategies for Effective ADA Reasonable Accommoda...America's Job Exchange
America's Job Exchange (AJE) hosted a webinar in August to discuss provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A hallmark of the ADA is the provision of reasonable accommodation to ensure equality in the workplace. This webinar will discuss what is reasonable accommodation. How is disclosure of disability handled? What are my responsibilities when someone discloses? Many employers consider the ADA too "mysterious" to understand. This session will "de-mystify" the ADA by providing practical information on ADA rights and responsibilities.
This webinar will covered:
-Reasonable accommodations as they relate to essential job functions
-Employer obligations when someone discloses a disability
-What protections do I have as an employer under ADA
In this webinar, Michaele Beebe, Director of Public Policy and Research at United Advocates for Children and Families will discuss:
• What certification entails.
• SB 614, the Peer Certification bill.
• Peer certification accreditation for parents, family members, consumers & youth with lived experience in the mental health, alcohol/drug abuse, foster care, juvenile justice & special education systems.

The summary analyzes an interview with the director of a nursing home in Brooklyn, New York. The director discusses the organization's role in providing rehabilitation and long-term care services. Some key points discussed include a 91% recovery rate for less severe cases, barriers to retaining qualified therapists, ensuring ethical care through compliance plans, funding through shareholders and grants, and a focus on improving behavioral and cognitive therapy services. The director views the organization as playing an important role in the public health system by restoring patients' dignity and providing exemplary care.
This document provides several disclaimers for a Telehealth.org training. It states that the training should not be considered legal or ethical advice and participants should consult their own authorities. It also notes that Telehealth.org's goal is educational only and no guarantees are made about the accuracy or sufficiency of the information for specific circumstances. The document advises reviewing official guidance from licensing boards and obtaining written legal advice for important legal or ethical questions.
This document discusses ethics in behavioral healthcare. It begins by defining ethics as beliefs about proper behavior and standards of conduct. It notes that ethics are not the same as laws or morality. Several ethical principles are described like autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice. Ethical issues can occur at the individual, group, organizational and societal levels. Top concerns in behavioral healthcare ethics include patient brokering, improper billing, kickbacks, unqualified staff, and lack of standardization. The document outlines an 8-step model for ethical decision making and provides numerous resources on ethics codes and guidelines.

The document discusses strategies for reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504. It provides an overview of the ADA and its titles relating to employment, public entities, public accommodations, and telecommunications. Key points include the definition of a qualified individual with a disability, the interactive reasonable accommodation process, disclosure of disabilities, and requirements for postsecondary schools to provide accommodations to students with disabilities.
Disability: Does this apply to me and my work?Donna Shannon
Have you ever wondered about how having a disability impacts working? Do you know all of the agencies available to help people with disabilities? Have you ever wondered what the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) can do to help you? Then this webinar is for you.

Universal design is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people without the need for adaptation. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for designing curricula that enables all individuals to gain knowledge through flexible options that reduce barriers while maintaining high standards. UDL supports learning through three principles that correspond to three brain networks: recognition, strategic, and affective networks.
Accommodations provide equitable access to grade-level curriculum for all students during instruction and assessment, including those with special needs or disabilities. Accommodations do not reduce learning expectations but rather provide equal access and opportunity for students to demonstrate what they know. Certain accommodations may be needed more in some grades than others depending on academic content and rigor. While some accommodations are appropriate for instruction, they may not be allowed for standardized assessments.
Modifications involve altering content, difficulty, goals, or instructional methods to build connections between existing curriculum and those involved in education. Modifications change what a student must learn or demonstrate, the instructional level or benchmark, or the number of concepts mastered. Modifications may negatively impact a student's education if they reduce learning or assessment expectations.
Modifications involve altering content, difficulty, goals, or instructional methods to build connections between existing curriculum and those involved in education. Modifications change what a student must learn and show mastery of, as well as instructional levels, key concepts covered, or learning and assessment expectations. While modifications help students, they can negatively impact their education long-term if not done properly to teach in a way the child learns best.

Why are we here? Not that we all aren’t concerned about ethical issues, but really we are here because of the new requirement for the Texas State Board of Examiners and to inform you of another requirement that goes into place January 1, 2010 (Juris Prudence Exam) Online, approx $30 for one hour training to be done one time only. Will count for 1 hr of ethics. http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/speech/default.shtm 2 Clock Hours – Ethics Continuing Education Requirement §741.162(c) Twenty clock hours (two CEUs) shall be required to renew a license issued for a two-year term. The holder of dual licenses, meaning both a speech-language pathology license and an audiology license, shall be required to earn 30 clock hours (three CEUs) to renew a license issued for a two-year term. Effective for renewals in May 2009 and after, a licensee must have had a minimum of two clock hours in ethics per renewal period. Extension of the Two Hour Ethics Requirement – at the February 27th board meeting the board members voted to extend the grace period for the ethics CEU requirement through December 31, 2009. Licensees who renew between May 2009 and December 2009 will have until December 31, 2009 to acquire the two clock hours in ethics for the previous renewal period, if they have not done so by the month of their renewal. These clock hours in ethics earned during the grace period will not count toward the ethics requirement for their next renewal in 2011. May 15, 2009 ESC Region XI 5/15/2009

1."employer demands," that is, demands and requests made by employers, supervisors, and directors that would cause our members—as their employees—to potentially violate the Code of Ethics as part of their employment. You can appreciate what a challenging situation this is for ASHA members. For example, if, on the one hand, the member does what is asked and it is unethical, then the member risks being sanctioned by ASHA's Board of Ethics and/or a state licensure board. On the other hand, if the member refuses to do what is demanded, he or she risks being disciplined (or terminated) by the employer. It is a classic dilemma. Fortunately, in my experience, in the majority of cases the employer does not appreciate that what he/she is demanding is problematic and the predicament can be cured by the clinician educating the employer, and advocating for best practices. Speech Assistants & Support Personnel: training, use, and supervision of support personnel and assistants. Dysphagia- evaluation & treatment of swallowing. When is it appropriate in school.

ASHA Sanction(s): Penalties imposed by the Board of Ethics Reprimand: A formal rebuke or condemnation with limited disclosure Censure: A public Reprimand Suspension of Membership and/or Certification: A sanction that temporarily interrupts the Respondent's membership and/or certification in the Association for the period of time imposed. Suspension of Membership and/or Certification requires a majority vote of the Board of Ethics. The Respondent need not apply for reinstatement to regain membership and/or certification at the end of the suspension period. Revocation of Membership and/or Certification : A sanction that terminates the Respondent's membership and certification in the Association for the period of time specified. Revocation requires a two-thirds vote of those board members present and voting. The Respondent must apply for reinstatement to regain membership and/or certification. Withholding of Membership and/or Certification: This sanction, which applies only in situations in which the Respondent is in the certification or membership application process when a violation is found, prohibits future Association membership and/or certification for the period of time imposed. Withholding of Membership and/or Certification requires a majority vote of the Board of Ethics. When the sanction period of time has expired the Respondent is not required to apply to the Board of Ethics; application is made directly to the Association. ESC Region XI May 15, 2009 5/15/2009

REVIEW We feel like this at times. ESC Region XI 5/15/2009 May 15, 2009
Ask group to first rank the characters INDIVIDUALLY. Put signs around the room with the name of each character. Ask each person to stand by the name that represents the character they feel is MOST responsible for the death of the baroness. Large group discussion Return to tables. Ask table groups to try to come to consensus as to who they feel is the most responsible for the death of the baroness. No one right answer. Can be difficult to reach a consensus. Many ethics issues can be the same. The primary theme is to get participants to discuss personal responsibility but there are also issues related to relationships, business ethics, and personal values embedded within the story. Ethic/morals versus the Law -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sample reasoning 1=Mad Man- With out him, there is definitely no murder. Whether he is insane or not doesn't affect responsibility, in my opinion, as then mentally insane people would bear no consequences. My professor actually said several states have adopted "Guilty, though insane" as opposed to "Innocent by means of insanity" in court cases. 2=Baroness- She, though reluctantly, attempted to pass the Mad Man despite his threats. She could have stayed across the bridge and accepted whatever punishment from the Baron, with it being, at worst, as bad as what the Mad Man would give her. 3=Lover- The morality of his affair aside, he lured and enticed her to leave the castle knowing she may be caught, yet denies her any form of help once that situation is realized. 4=Baron- His rules struck great fear in her, but rules without fear are not very good rules (more so with important rules). He may have just threatened and not actually punished her. Either way, she would have visited her lover none the less and the Mad Man would still be there. But would she just not cross? Probably. 5=Friend- The responsibility of a friend comes into question here. Should a friend always bail another friend out, regardless of the circumstances? I feel that the Baroness' life truly wasn't in danger at the time she talked to the friend, as she could choose to still not cross the bridge. Also, if the friend is reoved from the situation, the Baroness still dies, so the friend couldn't be too responsible for it. 6=Boatman- He was only doing his job. She was not in mortal danger, and to break such a rule every time some one claimed they desperately needed to get across would ruin his business. ESC Region XI May 15, 2009 5/15/2009
