Study Notes
Communication Disorders
- Communication disorders are a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to receive, comprehend, send, and process concepts or communication systems.
- These disorders include deficits in language, speech, and communication.
- The "Big Nine" areas of communication are articulation, fluency, voice and resonance quality, receptive/expressive language, hearing, swallowing, cognitive assessments of communication, social aspects of communication, and communication modalities.
- Communication encompasses any nonverbal or verbal behavior that influences other people's ideas and attitudes.
- Communication disorders are often comorbid with other neurodevelopmental or mental disorders.
Nature of Language Disorders
- Language disorders involve persistent difficulty in language leaning and usage.
- This can manifest in different ways, such as trouble with vocabulary, difficulty forming sentences, comprehending messages, and social communication.
Characteristics of Communication Disorders
- Persistent difficulty in language learning and usage and other forms of communication.
- These issues can affect vocabulary use, sentence structure, message comprehension, and social communication.
Nature of Speech Sound Disorders
- Speech sound disorders involve difficulties in speech perception or motor production or representation of speech sounds.
- The disorder is often categorized as functional or organic.
Etiology of Speech Sound Disorders
- Physical problems like cleft lip/palate or trauma to the larynx can cause problems.
- Pre- and perinatal factors, like low birthweight or infections during or after pregnancy, can cause issues in speech.
Speech Production
- Articulation problems relate to the physical movements needed to make sounds.
- Phonological problems refer to the way sounds are organized or grouped to create words.
Articulation Disorders
- Speech Sound Errors are often random and variable, and include substitution, omission, distortion, and addition.
Phonological Disorders
- Speech Sound errors that are predictable and rule-based, including fronting, stopping, and final consonant deletion.
Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder
- Also known as stuttering, it is a disorder characterized by repeated interruptions or hesitations in the fluency of speech.
- It can affect rhythm, timing, and the way speech flows.
Classification In Public Schools
- Language disorders are classified as "Speech or Language Impairment (SLI)".
- These classifications often include impaired articulation, language impairment, or stuttering.
Assessment of Communication Disorders
- Comprehensive assessments, including case history, initial clinical interviews, hearing screenings, and standardized assessments, are used to determine if there are communication concerns.
- Tools used also include orofacial examinations and diadochokinetic tasks.
- Speech-language samples, including naturalistic interactions, are considered part of a comprehensive assessment.
Intervention of Communication Disorders
- Professionals use intervention techniques like modeling, prompting, and block trials/drills to help target specific communication skills.
- Naturalistic techniques use interactions in everyday activities to support language development.
