Roger's Mild Articulation Problem
Component 2
Problem
Roger That was diagnosed with a mild articulation disorder that affects his intelligibility. Organic articulation disorders and functional articulation disorders are generally discussed when determining the cause of an individual’s articulation disorder. An organic articulation disorder is related to structural and neurological impairments. Roger’s oral peripheral examination, which states that his articulators function adequately, indicates that there are no structural impairments. A functional articulation disorder potentially contributes to Roger’s mild articulation disorder. A functional articulation disorder is a result of a deficiency in learning or hearing specific speech sounds or not having an evident organic articulation …show more content…
Robert needed pressure equalization tubes because of his ear infections when he one and two years old, possibly negatively affecting his speech development. Pressure equalization tubes prevent the accumulation of fluid within the middle ear by ventilating the fluid out of the middle ear. A sign that a child has an ear infection is when they do not respond to sounds and this is a result of the difficulty the child has when trying to hear, due to their hearing loss. The University of Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic (USLHA) indicated that he does not currently have a hearing loss, but I believe that his ear infection could have caused a short-term hearing loss. Another factor that contributes to his articulation disorder is his premature birth. Robert was born 3 weeks early. Premature babies are subjected to several health and development issues depending on their prematurity, but generally, infants born before 37 …show more content…
The clinician can find a board game with /r/ in all positions and instruct the Roger to say the word on each card that has the /r/ in different positions. Once the child correctly produces the /r/ then the child can roll the dice on the board game. The clinician can tell a child a story from a picture book with /ʃ/ in the initial position and /l/ in the final position then instruct him to repeat the different stories. The clinician should instruct Roger to communicate to other individuals of higher authority and instruct his parents to watch how he talks to others and in different
