Questions with Detailed Answers 2026-
2027 Update.
Neurogenic speech disorder - Answer mixed group of neurological impairments that affects
planning, coordination, timing, and execution of movement patterns used for speech
production
parts of the brain important for speech production - Answer - primary motor cortex
-upper motor neuron
-basal ganglia
-cerebellum
-cranial nerves
dysarthria - Answer - weakness in the muscles used for speech
cerebral palsy - Answer - developmental neurogenic disorder that is a result of brain injury
early in fetal or infant development
common cause of cerebral palsy - Answer - anoxia (without oxygen)
spastic cerebral palsy - Answer - most common
-damage to primary motor cortex or upper motor neurons
- hypertonia (too much muscle tone)
- rigid opposing muscle groups (difficult movement)
-jerky, inward movement
athetoid cerebral palsy - Answer - damage to extrapyramidal tract or basal ganglia
- dyskinesia (slow involuntary movement)
ataxic cerebral palsy - Answer - damage to cerebellum
-uncoordinated movements
does everyone with cerebral palsy have dysarthria - Answer up to 90% have problems with
speech production
, acquired dysarthria is caused by - Answer TBI, stroke, disease, infections, toxins
flaccid dysarthria - Answer - weak muscle tone
-breathy, monopitch,
-associated with bulbar palsy, muscular dystrophy, facial nerve disorders
spastic dysarthria - Answer - stiff, rigid, muscle tone
- harsh, strained, monopitch
- associated with pseudo bulbar palsy
ataxic dysarthria - Answer - incoordination and improper timing of muscle movements
-harsh, excessive stress
- damage in cerebellum
hyperkinetic dysarthria - Answer -increased movement (tics, tremors)
- harsh, monopitch, excessive loudness
- associated with dystonia, Huntington's chorea
- basal ganglia / subcortical
apraxia of speech - Answer impairment in voluntary motor placement and sequencing
- trouble with organization and planning
where is damage in the brain in apraxia - Answer - near broca's area
speech characteristics in apraxia - Answer - groping attempts to find position
- frequent speech sound substitutions
-make attempts to correct errors
- inconsistent errors
childhood apraxia of speech - Answer - articulation characterized by difficult with volitional or
imitative production of speech sounds and sequences
- muscles are not impaired
- not a problem that can be found in a scan
acquired AOS ( apraxia) - Answer - problems with articulation, rate, prosody
