Deeper case-based practice: 10 questions for every client
Case workflow
Each case begins with a clinical snapshot and then follows the same client through 10 decision points.
Questions move from pattern identification and assessment planning to interpretation, differential diagnosis,
treatment selection, measurable goals, generalization, and functional outcomes. The answer and explanation
appear immediately after each question.

CASE 1: Final Consonant Deletion with Reduced Intelligibility
10 linked clinical decisions
CASE 1 Final Consonant Deletion with Reduced Intelligibility
Client Maya, age 4;2
Profile Caregiver reports strangers understand about 45% of Maya's speech. Language milestones
were otherwise typical. No current medical concerns are reported.
Key findings Speech sample includes /bo/ for boat, /ka/ for cat, /fi/ for feet, and /daw/ for dog. Final
consonants are omitted across several word classes. Hearing status has not been checked
in the past year.
Clinical focus Identify the phonological pattern, select appropriate assessment steps, interpret severity, and
plan intervention.
QUESTION 1 Case decision 1/10
Which phonological pattern is most evident in Maya's sample?
A. Fronting
B. Final consonant deletion
C. Stopping
D. Gliding
Answer: B. Final consonant deletion
Explanation: The defining feature is omission of word-final consonants across multiple targets. This can sharply
reduce intelligibility because final consonants carry lexical and grammatical information.
QUESTION 2 Case decision 2/10
Which next assessment step is most important before finalizing the speech diagnosis?
A. A current hearing screening
B. A handwriting sample
C. A nonverbal IQ test only
D. A reading-comprehension passage
Answer: A. A current hearing screening
Explanation: Access to the speech signal must be considered in any speech-sound evaluation. An outdated or
unknown hearing status can complicate interpretation of speech errors.

QUESTION 3 Case decision 3/10
Which additional speech sample would best determine whether the pattern is productive?
A. Only the child's name
B. Multiple words ending in different consonants across positions and contexts
C. Only vowel-only words
D. Only multisyllabic nonsense words
Answer: B. Multiple final-consonant targets
Explanation: A productive phonological pattern should be evaluated across many words and consonant types. This
helps distinguish a broad pattern from isolated errors.
QUESTION 4 Case decision 4/10
Which minimal-pair contrast most directly targets this pattern?
A. tea-key
B. bow-boat
C. sip-ship
D. red-wed
Answer: B. bow-boat
Explanation: The contrast changes meaning through presence versus absence of the final consonant, making the
communicative consequence of final consonant deletion clear.
QUESTION 5 Case decision 5/10
Which outcome would best indicate early treatment progress?
A. Longer attention span
B. Increased production of final consonants in practiced and novel words
C. Faster naming of colors
D. Improved pencil grasp
Answer: B. Increased final consonants in practiced and novel words
Explanation: Generalization beyond trained items is the clinically meaningful sign that the phonological pattern is
changing.
