SLP PRACTICE PRAXIS (FORM 3) (ACTUAL 2025/2026)
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS
A 12-year-old phonology patient responds very well to
continuous verbal reinforcement. The SLP wishes to
increase the task level for sibilant production to
conversational speech, but is concerned that the accuracy of
the patient's productions will diminish without continuous
reinforcement. Which of the following adjustments is most
logical for the patient's treatment plan?
A. Increase task level to conversation and continue
with continuous reinforcement for correct
productions
B. Changing the reinforcement schedule to variable-interval
C. Discontinuing reinforcement and providing a
performance summary at the end of the conversation
D. Shifting the feedback to punishment - -----Answers --- B
Option (B) is correct. Reinforcement is still needed, but a
continuous schedule would be awkward and unnecessary for
the described task.
An SLP recommends a patient perform a chin-down posture
(CDP) when swallowing liquids. Which THREE of the
following statements accurately represent published
evidence regarding the chin-down posture?
A. CDP reduced thin liquid aspiration caused by
delayed pharyngeal response in people who had a
stroke.
B. CDP increased the speed and completeness of oral
transit in people with dysphagia after a stroke.
,C. CDP was shown to narrow the width of the laryngeal
inlet and widen the vallecular space during swallowing.
D. CDP resulted in an increased upper esophageal
sphincter opening diameter in patients with Parkinson's
disease.
E. CDP does not reduce aspiration after the swallow in
patients who had a stroke and aspirate pyriform sinus
residue.
- -----Answers----A, C, E Options (A), (C), and (E) are
correct. A study conducted by Shanahan et aland others. in
1993 showed that using the CDPC D P reduced thin liquid
aspiration caused by delayed pharyngeal response in people
who suffered had a stroke. Studies have shown that using
CDPC D P during swallowing narrows the width of the
laryngeal inlet and widens the vallecular space during
swallowing when the CDPC D P is used. The 1993 study
performed by Shanahan et aland others. showed that the
CDPC D P does not reduce aspiration after swallowing in
patients who had a stroke and aspirate pyriform sinus
residue.
An SLP just completed an aphasia evaluation with an
aphasia battery. The results of the battery show that the
patient with aphasia produces very fluent speech but makes
many phonemic errors. When producing phonemic errors,
the patient stops to try and get the word right with multiple
attempts (e.g., for example., for the word screwdriver, the
patient said "Cewdriver, dewdiver, screwdriver."). The patient
also had relatively good comprehension but a pronounced
repetition impairment. The patient's results are most
consistent with which of the following type of aphasia?
A.Broca's aphasia
B.Conduction aphasia
,C.Wernicke's aphasia
, D.Anomic aphasia - -----Answers----B Option (B) is correct.
All the symptoms listed are classic symptoms of conduction
aphasia and are distinguishable from other aphasia types.
An SLP works with a toddler on combining words and
assessing a variety of semantic relations. Match each toddler
utterance with the semantic relation it best reflects.
1- "Doggie eat."
2- "More cookie."
3- "Big cookie."
4- "Eat cookie."
A- Agent + Action
B- Action + Object
C- Attribute + Entity
D- Recurrence - -----Answers----1A, 2D, 3C, 4B
A 28-year-old classroom teacher complaining of frequent
voice loss is seen by an SLPS L P and an otolaryngologist. It
is determined the patient's symptoms are linked to
significant vocal demands. Which of following
recommendations is the most appropriate first step to treat
the underlying disorder?
A. Advising the patient to undergo complete voice rest until
the nodules improve or resolve
B. Educating the patient on the importance of hydration
and behavioral antireflux strategies
