An SLP is working with a 30-month-old child who is at the one-word production
level. The goal of treatment is to facilitate growth in play as a precursor to the
acquisition of two-word semantic relationships. To achieve the goal, the SLP can
best begin by facilitating
A. the use of pretend play, such as brushing a doll's hair or feeding a doll with a
bottle
B. the purposeful exploration of toys
C. exploration, by mouthing of toys
D. mean-end behaviors, such as pulling a string to get a toy - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > Option (A) is correct. The child needs to be encouraged to proceed to
the two-word production stage, and the use of pretend play will encourage
action/object two-word phrases such as "Feed baby" and "Brush hair." All of the
other answer choices involve behaviors that do not necessarily promote
linguistic behaviors.
A fourth-grade student presents to a school SLP with receptive-expressive
language disorder. The student has difficulty with asking "wh-" questions.
Specifically, the student tends to ask only "who" and "what" questions. When
probed, the student will ask "why" and "when" questions but often uses the
terms incorrectly.
,When writing the annual Individualized Education Program for the student, which
of the following goals is most appropriate and measurable?
A. The student will ask six related "wh-" questions with 100% accuracy.
B. The student will ask six related "wh-" questions with minimal cueing in two
out of three tries.
C. The student will ask six related "wh-" questions with no cueing and with 100%
accuracy.
D. The student will ask six related "wh-" questions with no cueing in one out of
three tries. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Option (B) is correct. The goal is specific,
measurable, realistic, and time limited and addresses the student's specific
needs.
A 65-year-old patient is transferred from another facility with a diagnosis of
aphasia. The patient's symptoms, however, appear more consistent with apraxia.
Which of the following tasks for the patient is most appropriate when assessing
verbal apraxia of speech?
A. Repeating words of increasing length
B. Recalling three common items
C. Performing voluntary oral movements
D. Following two-step commands - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Option (A) is correct.
Inability to repeat two-syllable words is a clear indicator of apraxia of speech.
The commonly used chin-down posture was initially developed to eliminate thin-
liquid aspiration in people with delayed pharyngeal stage onset after having a
stroke, and when its efficacy was investigated, it was found to be 50% effective.
,For whom is the chin-down posture ineffective at eliminating thin-liquid
aspiration?
A. People who have cricopharyngeal dysfunction
B. People who aspirate residue from the pyriform sinuses
C. People who have impaired lingual function
D. People who aspirate residue from the valleculae - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Option (B) is correct. Shanahan et al. (1993) found that 50 percent of people
with stroke- and swallowing-related aspiration due to delayed onset of the
pharyngeal response continued to aspirate from the pyriform sinuses using the
chin-down posture. Moreover, Eisenhuber et al. (2002) found that people with a
pyriform sinus residue with a height that was less than 50 percent of the
pyriform sinus height aspirated significantly more than those with less or no
pyriform sinus residue.
Oropharyngeal dysphagia in a child with Down syndrome is most likely caused by
which of the following factors?
A. Hypotonia
B. Digestive problems
C. Pneumonia
D. Aversive feeding behaviors - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Option (A) is correct.
Hypotonia is the leading cause of swallowing disorders in children with Down
syndrome.
Which of the following recommendations to a parent of an infant with cleft lip
and palate should an SLP make to best optimize feeding for adequate nutrition
and appropriate growth?
, A. Providing a bottle rather than breast-feeding the infant
B. Positioning the infant in a supine position during feeding times
C. Allowing the infant to take as much time as needed to feed
D. Using a bottle with a modified nipple during feedings - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer
> Option (D) is correct. A bottle with a modified nipple allows for greater control
over the quantity of liquid expressed and the pacing of feeding.
The head lift exercise published by Shaker et al. (2002) was designed to produce
which of the following changes in swallow biomechanics?
A.Increase in laryngeal closure duration
B.Strengthening of the base of the tongue
C.Increase in diameter and duration of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES)
opening
D.Prolonged relaxation of the cricopharyngeal portion of the inferior constrictor
muscle - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Option (C) is correct. The results of Shaker et al.
(2002) demonstrated a significant (p<.01p left angle bracket period zero one)
increase in the opening duration of the UES.
Which of the following sounds are typically mastered by the time a child turns 3?
A./k/ and /g/
B./p/ and /b/
C./l/ and /s/
D./ch/ and /sh/ - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Option (B) is correct. /p/ and /b/
should be mastered by age 3 in a typically developing child.
