SLP PRACTICE PRAXIS (FORM 3) EXAM 2025 UPDATE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS ALREADY
GRADED A+ (BRAND NEW VISION)
An SLPS L P in a public school will be seeing a student who is returning to school after
experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBIT B I). The student has dysphagia, and the SLPS L P will
provide dysphagia therapy as part of the student's IEPI E P. The clinician seeks evidence to help
develop the intervention. Which of the following is the best resource?
A.Reading a published case study of a 15 year old who received dysphagia therapy after a car
accident
B.Listening to the school principal's experience with another student who experienced a similar
TBIT B I
C.Incorporating the parents' request that the student eat in the cafeteria with peers
D.Reviewing treatment options presented in the newsletter of a dysphagia product vendor -
answersA Option (A) is correct. A case study provides the SLPS with information about
external scientific research that may be helpful in answering the PICO question.
The following components of a case history were collected from a medical record review and
interview with a patient and the patient's caregiver. The patient has a prior history of all of the
following conditions, but only three of them are significant predictors of an elevated likelihood
of clinically significant dysphagia. Which THREE of the following historical items at the time of
the referral to the SLPS L P are suggestive of an elevated likelihood of clinically significant
dysphagia in a 70-year-old adult?
A.The patient had pneumonia as a child and then again 10 years ago.
B.The patient has a history of stroke or other neurological disease.
C.The patient has been losing weight since recovering from anterior cervical spine fusion.
D.The patient was cured of pharyngeal cancer with radiation therapy 30 years ago.
E.The patient was intubated for surgery and routinely extubated postoperatively 24 hours
before the SLP - answersB, C, D Options (B), (C), and (D) are correct. There are numerous
studies indicating the increased dysphagia/aspiration likelihood in people with a remote
,history of head-neck radiation, any neurological disease or stroke, or an otherwise-
unexplained weight loss.
Jay is 3 years and 8 months old and was diagnosed with stuttering following a speech-language
assessment. The diagnosis is based in part on the presence of part-word repetitions on 15% of
syllables in conversational speech during the initial evaluation. His mother says that the onset of
stuttered speech occurred eight months before the assessment and that the child occasionally is
frustrated with his fluency difficulties.
Which of the following is the most appropriate recommendation for the SLPS L P to make?
A.Monitoring fluency performance until age 5 years and 0 months old, but commencing fluency
therapy immediately if Jay's stuttering frequency exceeds 20% of syllables before then.
B.Monitoring fluency performance until age 5 years and 0 months old, and commencing fluency
therapy immediately if Jay's stuttering has not resolved by then.
C.Beginning a treatment program in which Jay learns how to regulate his articu - answersD
Option (D) is correct. The child stutters with moderate severity and has done so for eight
months, which results in frustration during communication. This suggests that treatment is
necessary now. The actions described are aimed at improving fluency within a behavioral-
shaping framework and preventing the development of negative attitudes toward speaking.
Labeling and commenting on fluent and stuttered utterances are key components of the
Lidcombe Program, a stuttering treatment for young children that has been shown to be
effective.
At the start of a speech-language evaluation, James, a 3-year-old patient, fails a hearing
screening. There is no reported hearing deficit, and the child appears to easily understand
instructions from the SLPS L P. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step for the
evaluating SLPS L P?
A.Completing the speech-language evaluation and referring James for an audiologic evaluation
B.Stopping the speech-language evaluation and referring James for an audiologic evaluation
C.Continuing with the speech-language evaluation and noting that the screening was failed
likely because of poor cooperation
D.Interviewing the parents, reading any available outside reports, and basing a diagnosis on
those data - answersA
,A 5-year-old child's evaluation reveals a developmental speech delay secondary to an
intellectual disability. Which of the following statements about etiology is most likely true?
A.A genetic etiology can be assumed and treatment can be withheld.
B.A genetic etiology can be assumed and compensatory strategies should be taught.
C.Prenatal trauma can be assumed and a plan to counsel the parents is necessary.
D.The information provided does not allow an assumption to be made on etiology. - answersD
Which of the following is most likely to occur in an infant with an unrepaired cleft palate?
A.Aspiration pneumonia
B.Choking
C.Nasal regurgitation
D.Tongue thrust - answersC
An SLP evaluates a 5-year-old child who produces several sounds in error. The SLPS L P wants to
determine the consistency of the child's errors by conducting stimulability testing. The most
appropriate next step for the SLPS L P is to ask the child to produce each misarticulated sound in
A.a novel word using real objects as stimuli
B.isolation after watching and listening to the SLPS L P produce the sounds correctly
C.isolation after listening to recorded samples of correctly produced sounds
D.connected speech after listening to the SLP'sS L P's production of the erroneous sounds -
answersB
Which of the following therapeutic techniques is most appropriate to treat hyperfunctional
voice disorders?
A.Pushing, pulling, and isometrics
B.Lee Silverman Voice Treatment
, C.Semi-occluded vocal tract exercises
D.Coughing and throat clearing - answers+ C Option (C) is correct. The use of semi-occluded
vocal tract exercises, whether use of straws, resonance tubes, lip trills, or fricatives, has
demonstrated across multiple studies in the literature to optimize glottal configuration to
reduce the impact of glottal closure and reduce potential phonotrauma and to optimize
glottal closure to a slightly abducted position, also to reduce the potential for phonotrauma
often found in hyperfunctional voice. These exercises have also demonstrated the ability to
reduce voice fatigue, a classic complaint of those with hyperfunction, by optimizing glottal
impedances in the vocal tract.
Which of the following is characteristic of child-directed speech?
A.Exaggerated pitch contours
B.Imprecise articulation
C.Increased speech rate
D.Shortening the pauses between words - answersA Option (A) is correct. Child-directed
speech refers to the way adults speak to young children and is characterized by exaggerated
pitch contours, such as using a higher pitch than normal, and overly dramatic facial
expressions.
Which of the following is an etiology for cortical dementia?
A.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
B.Parkinson's disease
C.Huntington's disease
D.Alzheimer's disease - answersD
Which of the following must a child first be able to do before the child can produce narratives?
A.Produce several utterances on the same topic
B.Use past and future tenses
C.Express a sequence using "then" or "next"
