B. The child has developmental delay, exhibiting speech that is not appropriate
for a child of that age.
C. The child demonstrates a motor-speech disorder and is unable to perform
voluntarily the oral movements required for speech production.
D. The child exhibits stridency deletion, consonant cluster reduction, stopping,
and fronting. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > C. The child demonstrates a motor-speech
disorder and is unable to perform voluntarily the oral movements required for
speech production.
*The wording represents a well-written diagnostic statement for a child with
communication problems that are physiological, or functional, in nature. None
of the other answer choices demonstrates the presence of a physiological
problem.

Fela is a third-grade student in a public school. She is a speaker of African
American Vernacular English (AAVE) who has difficulty with the Standard
American English (SAE) dialect used in her classroom. Her teacher believes that
Fela's language skills are affecting her academic performance and has referred
her to the school's speech-language pathologist. Which of the following is an
appropriate rationale for providing language intervention for Fela?
A. It will likely foster better communication with Fela's linguistically and
culturally diverse peers.
B. It will likely improve Fela's code-switching ability with her teacher and other
adult speakers of SAE.
C. It may expand Fela's later academic and vocational opportunities.
D. It will likely lead Fela to adopt SAE as her primary dialect. - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > Options (A), (B), and (C) are correct.
*The intervention will foster better communication because Fela and her peers
will have a common dialect. Also, the intervention will provide Fela with the
ability to switch easily between dialects using SAE structures. Furthermore,
being able to switch codes will enable Fela to participate in more educational
and vocational opportunities.
