Articulation Disorders Exam Review
Course Introduction
Articulation Disorders explores the nature, assessment, and treatment of speech sound disorders characterized by difficulties in the physical production of specific speech sounds. The course covers typical speech sound development, common causes of articulation errors, and how to distinguish between articulation and phonological disorders. Students will learn evidence-based intervention strategies, practical assessment techniques, and the use of standardized tests to identify and remediate errors. Emphasis is placed on developing individualized therapy plans, tracking progress, and collaborating with clients and their families to support effective communication outcomes.

Q4) What are two allophones of the phoneme /p/? Give specific examples.
Answer: Answers can vary, but unaspirated /p/ as in "pet" and aspirated /p/ as in final "cap" are two common ones.
Q5) Define and describe the three primary acoustic features of speech.
Answer: Answers will vary, but students should discuss the frequency, amplitude, and duration of speech sounds.

Q3) Give three examples of commonly seen speech sound errors/ substitutions. Answer: Taken from Table 3.10 some common errors are /w/ for /r/, /f/ for voiceless th, and /b/ for /v/.
Q4) Give three examples of phonological awareness activities.
Answer: Rhyming, segmenting, blending, manipulating. May also say syllable awareness, word awareness, onset-rime awareness, deletion of phonemes, etc.

Q3) Discuss two possible disorders with which speech sound disorders may co-occur. What are the probable causes of this co-morbidity?
Answer: It is suggested that children with SSD possibly, due to reduced intelligibility, overcompensate by straining the vocal mechanism SSD comes first). Conversely, it is plausible that a voice disorder causes limited or inadequate feedback necessary for appropriate speech sound development voice disorder comes first).
Q4) Name three genetic disorders that are related to speech sound disorders.
