A clinician evaluates the speech of a 5 year old child with a phonological delay.
The child is not intelligible to her kindergarten teacher or her peers and is placed
in therapy to improve her intelligibility. Assuming that this child uses the
phonological process of consonant cluster reduction, which of the following is the
word you would most likely put on a word list used for treatment?
A. Bus
B. Stopped
C. Rich
D. Lassie - Correct Answer-B. Stopped
The therapy technique of phonetic placement is used to teach or establish
A. Auditory discrimination
B. Stimuability
C. Production of phoneme in isolation
D. Minimal pair contrasts - Correct Answer-C. Production of phoneme in isolation
A father is concerned about his 4 and a half year old son. Justin is highly
intelligible, but his father reports that he has difficulty with consonant clusters in
words like spring, street, and squirrel. You tell the father that at 4 and a half it is
natural for Justin to have difficulties with words with consonant clusters. However,
according to developmental norms he should have little difficulty with?

C. Kst, lk, nd
D. Sp, st, sk - Correct Answer-D. Sp, st, sk
A child comes to you for an evaluation. According to her mother, Sharma has a hx
of middle ear infections. Her mother reports that Shark is quite difficult to
understand. For example according to her mother, she says things like gʌk/dʌk and
koʊ/toʊ. The child is manifesting the phonological pattern of
A. Fronting
B. Stridency deletion
C. Backing
D. Glottal replacement - Correct Answer-C. Backing
The articulation therapy approach that emphasizes the syllable as the basic unit of
speech production and heavily uses the concept of phonetic environment is
A. McDonald's sensorimotor approach
B. The maximal contrast approach
C. Metaphon approach
D. Van Riper's traditional approach - Correct Answer-A. McDonald's sensorimotor
approach
A child is 4 years and 3 mos old and has transferred from out of state. Previously,
an SLP recommended that he receive intervention before kindergarten. According
to the report the child uses the phonological patterns of gliding, consonant cluster

reduction, stopping, reduplication, and final consonant deletion. Your assessment
confirms the presence of these patterns. You would begin treatment by
addressing
A. Final consonant deletion
B. Gliding
C. Consonant cluster reduction
D. Reduplication - Correct Answer-D. Reduplication
Because this phonological process should be phased out the earliest -by 2-4
months of age
Which one of the following is false regarding dental deviations?
A. Skeletal malocclusion refers to deviations in the shape and dimensions of the
mandible and maxilla
B. Dental malocclusion refers to deviations in the positioning of individual teeth
C. In class I malocclusion, the arches themselves are generally aligned properly;
however, some individual teeth are misaligned
D. In class II malocclusion, the maxilla is receded and the mandible is protruded -
Correct Answer-D. In class II malocclusion, the maxilla is receded and the
mandible is protruded
—should say in Class II malocclusion the maxilla is protruded and the mandible is
receded
Which of the following is false?

, Advanced Review of Speech-Language Pathology EXAM
A. In maximal contrast therapy, aka maximal opposition approach, the selected
word pairs contain maximum numbers of phonemic contrasts
B. Cycles approach involves treating children with phonological disorders in cycles
in which the child is trained to a criterion of mastery for error patterns such as
final consonant deletion and fronting
C. Van Riper's approach focuses on phonetic placement, auditory
discrimination/perceptual training, & drill like repetition & practice at increasingly
complex motor levels until target phonemes are produced correctly in
spontaneous conversation
D. Minimal pair contrast therapy, the clinician uses pairs of words that differ by
only one feature, of the paired words one is the target word in which the sound is
produced correctly and other is the child's incorrect production
————————————————————————————————————
B. Cycles approach involves treating children with phonological disorders in cycles
in which the child is trained to a criterion of mastery for error patterns such as
final consonant deletion and fronting
You discover through assessment that there are some sounds that Crystal
consistently misarticulated. For ex. She makes t/k substitutions. You want to know
if she can produce /k/ in isolation. You show her how to produce /k/ by giving her
a model and tell her "Watch me make the /k/ sound. Then you do it just like I did."
When you are doing this you are assessing Crystal's
A. Phonological knowledge
B. Receptive phonology skills
C. Overall intelligibility
D. Stimuability - Correct Answer-D. Stimuability
