Which is not an effective way for assessing hypernasality, nasal emission, and
velopharyngeal function?
manometer
To an inexperienced listener, a pharyngeal fricative can sound similar to which of

lateral lisp
Which has a significant effect on utterance length?
nasal emission
Which technique does not use auditory detection of nasality?
air paddle, dental mirror, see-scape
Which of the following is recommended as the best no-tech procedure for
evaluation of nasal air emission?
straw test
When evaluating nasal emission, the speech sample should have many of which
type of phonemes?
voiceless consonants
Surgery is never indicated for what?
velopharyngeal mislearning
What is the appropriate recommendation for treatment of velopharyngeal
mislearning?
, speech therapy only
What is the appropriate recommendation for treatment of compensatory
production?
surgery and then speech therapy
Phoneme specific hypernaslity will most likely occur in what word?
heat (/i/)
Which word contains the best consonant for testing nasal emission?
pass (lots of sssss)
If the child has a nasal rustle on s/z, but not on any other sounds, what is the
probable cause?
phoneme-specific nasal emission
When voiced plosives sound closer to their nasal cognates (m/b, n/d, and ŋ/g),
what does this suggest?
obligatory distortion
What speech production can cause phoneme-specific nasal emission?
pharyngeal fricative
Which misarticulating can be co-articulated with the /b/ sound?
glottal stop
Which type of resonance is common with childhood apraxia of speech?
mixed resonance/hypernasality
You examine a child who has a history of unilateral complete cleft lip and palate.
He has a fistula just behind the alveolar ridge in the area of the incisive foramen.
It appears to be about 7 mm in diameter, but you are not sure if it goes all the way
through. You evaluate the child's speech. If the child demonstrates nasal
emission on /p/, /t/, and /k/, but more on the /t/ than the others, what is the
probable cause?
VPI and the fistula

misarticulation causing nasal emission
Describe Speech Aerodynamics
_an indirect measure of airflow
_provides objective information to estimate the size of the velopharyngeal orifice
_an indirect measure of airflow
_provides information on the intra-oral air pressure levels
Describe Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
