child of that age.
B. The child has developmental delay, exhibiting speech that is not appropriate
for a child of that age.
C. The child demonstrates a motor-speech disorder and is unable to perform
voluntarily the oral movements required for speech production.
D. The child exhibits stridency deletion, consonant cluster reduction, stopping,
and fronting. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > C. The child demonstrates a motor-speech
disorder and is unable to perform voluntarily the oral movements required for
speech production.
*The wording represents a well-written diagnostic statement for a child with
communication problems that are physiological, or functional, in nature. None
of the other answer choices demonstrates the presence of a physiological
problem.
Which of the following should be the primary focus of early language intervention

Fela is a third-grade student in a public school. She is a speaker of African
American Vernacular English (AAVE) who has difficulty with the Standard
American English (SAE) dialect used in her classroom. Her teacher believes that
Fela's language skills are affecting her academic performance and has referred
her to the school's speech-language pathologist. Which of the following is an
appropriate rationale for providing language intervention for Fela?
A. It will likely foster better communication with Fela's linguistically and
culturally diverse peers.
B. It will likely improve Fela's code-switching ability with her teacher and other
adult speakers of SAE.
C. It may expand Fela's later academic and vocational opportunities.
D. It will likely lead Fela to adopt SAE as her primary dialect. - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > Options (A), (B), and (C) are correct.
*The intervention will foster better communication because Fela and her peers
will have a common dialect. Also, the intervention will provide Fela with the
ability to switch easily between dialects using SAE structures. Furthermore,
being able to switch codes will enable Fela to participate in more educational
and vocational opportunities.
,The figure above shows the oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal structures involved
in swallowing. Which of the following best describes the transit of the bolus at the
moment depicted in the figure?
(Look at bolus image)
A. The bolus is traveling through the esophagus.
B. The bolus is being propelled from the oral cavity by the tongue and has
entered the pharynx.
C. The bolus has passively exited the oral cavity without propulsion by the tongue.
D. Laryngeal penetration of some of the bolus is evident. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
B. The bolus is being propelled from the oral cavity by the tongue and has entered
the pharynx.
*The tongue is in contact with the entire anterior and most of the mid to
posterior hard palate. Furthermore, the bolus head has passed the epiglottis
and is descending into the hypopharynx
Primary motor innervation to the larynx and velum is provided by which cranial
nerve?
A. V
B. VII
C. IX
D. X - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > D. X- Vagus Nerve
*Primary innervation to the larynx and velum is provided by cranial nerve X, the

primarily involved in motor innervation to the larynx and velum
Federal laws regarding freedom of access to information stipulate that client

To justify providing individual treatment for a 2½ year old with apraxia of speech,
which of the following would be LEAST important for the SLP to include in the
evaluation report?
A. A description of the child's typical interaction with peers
B. Relevant prognostic data
C. Information about apraxia of speech
D. A description of the language development of the child's older siblings -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > D. A description of the language development of the
child's older siblings
*A description of the child's older siblings' language development does not
provide the objective, documented evidence required to justify provision of
treatment for a child of an age at which some unintelligibility would be typical.
The speech reception threshold (SRT) is a basic component of an evaluation of
hearing function. Which of the following statements about the SRT is most
accurate?
A. It is measured in decibels and corresponds to the intensity level at which
spondaic words can be recognized approximately 50% of the time.
B. It makes use of test materials that are limited to monosyllabic words.
