C. Horizontal laryngectomy
D. Subglottic laryngectomy
Correct Answer : D Spastic-dyskinetic
Ataxic CP: disturbed balance, awkward gait, and uncoordinated movements
athetoid CP: slow, writhing, involuntary movements due to damage to the indirect motor
pathways, especially the basal ganglia
spastic CP: increased spasticity (increased tone, rigidity of the muscles) as well as stiff, abrupt,
jerky , slow movements (due to damage to the motor cortex or direct motor pathway) - correct

speaking 16-year-old to you for an evaluation. The student and his family came to the United
States 2 years ago from Laos. The teacher says that the student does well academically, but she
,shares that she has difficulty understanding him when he speaks. When you screen the student,
you find some speech sound and language differences. Which one of the following would not be

A. Substitutions of t/th (e.g., tin/thin)
B. Epenthesis in words with consonant blends
C. Confusions of /r/ and /l/

B. Test of Childhood Stuttering (TOCS) Ages: 4 through 12 yearsTesting Time: 20 to 30 minutes
(1) identify children who stutter, (2) determine the severity of a child's stuttering, and (3)
document changes in a child's fluency functioning over time
OASES-S: School-Age Children (ages 7-12; 60 items)
OASES-T: Teens (ages 13-17; 80 items)
OASES-A: Adults (ages 18 and above; 100 items) - correct answer ✔✔You are conducting a
fluency evaluation and would like to assess fluency skills and stuttering behaviors in a child who
is between 4 and 12 years of age. You would like to identify stuttering, determine the severity of
stuttering, as well as document changes in fluency functioning over time. This test examines
rapid picture naming, modeled sentences, structured conversation, and narration. The test also
includes observational rating scales as well as supplemental clinical assessment. You would
select the following test:
A. Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering (OASES)
B. Test of Childhood Stuttering (TOCS)
C. KiddyCAT Communication Attitude Test
D. Blood's Analysis of Fluency Disorders
A.Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy
(CADASIL) - correct answer ✔✔This inherited form of vascular disease is very rare and is caused
by a faulty gene and may result in dementia. People who are afflicted by this type of dementia
may have several mild CVAs that cause damage to the white matter in the brain. Symptoms
begin gradually and can be noticed when a person is between the ages of 30 and 50. Symptoms
, include slurred speech, migraines, and weakness on one side of the body. Women with this type
of dementia may notice symptoms when they are pregnant.
A. Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and
leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL)
B. Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH)
C. Corticobasal syndrome (CBS)
D. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)
C. a pH probe or intraluminal pH monitoring study. - correct answer ✔✔A study that is used to
quantify the time and frequency of gastroesophageal reflux into the esophagus is called
A. an esophageal reflux monitoring study.
B. a GER monitoring study.
C. a pH probe or intraluminal pH monitoring study.
D. a UGI series.
C. Flexible fiber-optic laryngoscopy - correct answer ✔✔The following form of instrumental
evaluation includes inserting a tube through the nasal passage, past the velum, and into
position above the larynx:
A. Indirect laryngoscopy
B. Direct laryngoscopy
C. Flexible fiber-optic laryngoscopy
D. Videostroboscopy
C.Isolated goal - correct answer ✔✔A speech-language pathologist in a rehabilitation setting is
treating an adult. The goal of the clinician is to have the adult use a communication device to
make sentences with the correct use of various basic grammatical concepts when describing a
set of pictures. This is an example of which of the following goals?
A. Long-term goal
B. Unrealistic goal
