Articulation Disorders
Test
Preparation
Course Introduction
Articulation Disorders focuses on the nature, assessment, and treatment of speech sound disorders that affect an individuals ability to produce phonemes correctly. The course explores normal speech sound development, classifications and etiologies of articulation errors, and the difference between articulation and phonological disorders. Students will learn diagnostic techniques, intervention strategies, and therapeutic approaches applicable across different age groups and populations. Emphasis is placed on clinical decision-making, individualized treatment planning, and cultural considerations in speech-language pathology practice.

Sample Questions
Q1) Developmental norms differ greatly in their recommendations for how sounds are developed. As a new SLP, how will you determine when a child is developing appropriately in the face of so many differing norms?
Answer: Students should suggest the use of evidence based practice taking into consideration what the wealth of research says, what the specific clients needs are, and what the clinicians experience is. Additionally, students should mention the importance of noting where the data come from and considering the differences in diary studies compared to longitudinal studies and all possibilities in between.
Q2) 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) Phonological awareness is a strong predictor for later reading success.
A)True
B)False
Answer: True
Q4) 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/.
