• TRUE

• FALSE

TRUE/FALSE: If you are not sure whether a child's speech patterns warrant intervention, the best approach is to "wait and watch".

• TRUE

• FALSE

Which of the following typically resolves last?

A child's speech is expected to become completely understandable by an unfamiliar adult at what age?

• 2

• 3

• 10

Provide one example of a non-speech oral motor exercise.

If a child is having difficulty producing different acoustic outputs for targets /d/ and /g/, the clinician's first step should be:

• Eliciting /d/ and /b/ in monosyllabic words

• Ensuring that the child can perceptually discriminate between /d/ and /g/

• Eliciting /g/ and /b/ in monosyllabic words

• Eliciting /d/ and /g/ in isolation (by themselves)

TRUE/FALSE: Sounds for which a child is stimulable are those that have the best prognosis for resolution

• TRUE

• FALSE

TRUE/FALSE: Individuals are less likely to exhibit speech errors on conversational speech than on read speech.

• TRUE

• FALSE

An individual whose speech sound disorder is underlain by a deficit in planning and programming of speech movements likely has which of the following?

• Apraxia of Speech

• Dysarthria

• Speech affected by Parkinson's Disease

• Speech affected by Multiple Sclerosis

TRUE/FALSE: In patients who have undergone treatment for lingual cancer, the amount of tissue that remains is most consequential to speech intelligibility post-operatively, rather than the ability of the residual tissue to move.

• TRUE

• FALSE
