21. Answers may vary but should include some of the following information (see page 3, Introduction): An impairment is a biological or physiological condition that involves the loss of physical, social, or cognitive functioning. This can lead to disability or a restriction in ability to perform a function as a result of the impairment. According to the A DA, a disability is a “physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity.” This may or may not lead to a handicap, which is a social disadvantage that accrues to the individual with an impairment or a disability, often in the form of barriers that can prevent an individual from reaching a goal or a person‟s potential. 22. Answers will vary, but should include some of the following points (see page 17, section titled “Communication Disorders in Historical Perspective”): Children who were malformed or had obvious physical disabilities were sometimes abandoned. Older adults were sometimes abandoned, deprived of food, or killed when they could no longer contribute. Some people with disabilities were considered to have special powers. In the late 1700s to early 1800s, individuals were classified and grouped according to their disorder so that they could be helped. Special residences for individuals with deafness, blindness, mental illness, and intellectual limitations were established, although they were often little more than warehouses providing no services other than what was necessary to keep residents alive. 23. Answers will vary, but should include some of the following points (see page 4, section titled “Communication Disorders”): A communication disorder impairs the ability to both receive and send and also process and comprehend concepts or verbal, nonverbal, and graphic information. A communication disorder may affect hearing, language, and/or speech processes; may range from mild to profound severity; and may be developmental or acquired. One or a combination of communication disorders may be presented by an individual and may result in a primary disability or may be secondary to other disabilities. 24. Answers will vary, but should include some of the following points (see page 6, section titled “The Professionals and Their Roles”): Provision of speech and language assessment and intervention via the Internet. The COVID pandemic caused a shift to telepractice in many areas of service. 25. Answers will vary, but should include some of the following points (see pages 10–11, section titled “What Speech, Language, and Hearing Scientists Do”): Speech scientists may be involved in basic research exploring anatomy, physiology, and physics of speech-sound production. Investigate the causes, prevention, and treatment of various speech impairments. Development of computer-generated speech. Language scientists may investigate the ways children learn language. Conduct cross-cultural studies of language and communication. Study how languages are changing. Examine language disabilities and the nature of language disorders in children and adults. Hearing scientists investigate the nature of sound, noise, and hearing. They may help develop equipment for hearing assessment.


Develop techniques for testing infants or those with physical or psychological impairments. Develop and improve assistive listening devices. Concerned with conservation of hearing and limiting environmental noise. 26. Answers may vary but should include the following information (see page 7, section titled “Credentials for Audiologists”): Educational requirements are 3–5 years of professional education beyond the bachelor‟s degree ASHA CCC-A: Requires doctorate, professional experience, national exam. States require audioligists to obtain a state license. The requirements for state licensure tend to be the same or similar to the ASHA standards. 27. Answers may vary, but should include some of the following points (see page 9, section titled “Credentials for Speech-Language Pathologists”): SLPs have a master‟s or doctoral degree. ASHA CCC-SLP: Requires master‟s degree or doctorate, completion of a moitored clinical fellowship year, and successful completion of a national qualifying exam. Ongoing professional development must be demonstrted. Individual states have licensure laws for SLPs. Most states accept a person with an ASHA CCC-SLP as having met state licensure requirements. 28. Answers may vary, but should include the following information (see page 14, section titled “Evidence-Based Practice): Clinical skill grows from experience and current available data. The SLP or audiologist seeks new therapeutic information to improve efficacy. 29. Answers may vary but should include some of the following information (see page 19, section titled “Communication Disorders in Historical Perspective”): In recent years, there has been a positive movement among those with disabilities to organize and to express pride in their identity and self-advocacy. This has been called the Disability Rights Movement and mirrors other civil rights actions. This movement and burgeoning organizations it spawns are often modeled on the community of those with deafness, often called the Deaf Community. Although selfadvocacy is not always possible for those with severe disorders, many groups have coalesced within different disorders, such as individuals with high functioning autism spectrum disorder. These groups, in turn, can offer a voice to their community. Some communities see the person-first designation to be demeaning and an attempt to hide their disroder, claiming instead older terms, such as identifying as an “autistic person.” 30. Answers should include the following information (see page 15, section titled “Evidence-Based Practice”): It refers to an identified population, not specific individuals. The treatment should be focused and the population should be clearly identified. The research should be conducted under optimal intervention conditions, although actual clinical conditions may be less than idea.

Infants must first learn the rudiments of communication and begin to master speech. The early establishment of communication between children and caregivers fosters the development of speech and language, which influence the quality of communication. This is fostered by physical, cognitive, and social development. The key to becoming a communicator is being treated as one. The process of learning speech and language is a social one that occurs through interactions of children and the people in their environment. In different cultures, the type of child-caregiver interaction, the model of language presented to the child, and the expectations for the child differ, but each is sufficient for the learning of the language of the culture. Every person‟s speech and language continues to change until the end of life. A competent communicator continues to adapt to changes in the language and in the communication process. 42. Answers may vary, but should include the following points (see page 35, section titled “Disorders of Form”): Errors in sound use constitute a disorder of phonology. Incorrect use of past tense or plural markers is an example of a disorder of morphology. Syntactical errors include incorrect word order and run-on sentences. May be due to sensory limitations, perceptual difficulties, limited exposure to correct models, or neurological disorders. The cause may also not be apparent. 43. Answers may vary, but should include the following points (see page 35, section titled “Disorders of Content”): Limited vocabulary, misuse of words, or word-finding problems.
