Dysarthria is a deficit of motor plan __________ and ________ at the _______ level
cognition
the underlying processes that support the creation of language (i.e. thought, consciousness)
language
the words you use to communicate your thoughts when you produce speech, writing, or sign
speech
the sounds the movements of your mouth make when you say words
motor speech disorders
a collection of communication disorders involving the assembly, retrieval, and activation of motor plans for speech or the execution of movements for speech production
arthria
to utter distinctly
dysarthria
a group of motor speech disorders resulting from disturbances in muscular control within the nervous system, which present with paralysis, weakness, spasticity, slowness, incoordination, and/or altered muscle tone
apraxia of speech
a neurogenic speech disorder resulting from impairment of the capacity to program or access sensorimotor commands for the positioning and movement of muscles for the volitional production of speech
true
True or false: Apraxia of speech can occur without significant weakness or neuromuscular slowness
False! If someone comes to you and is undiagnosed, make the appropriate referrals!!
True or false: As an SLP, you can make a medical diagnosis
praxis
performance of an action; a motor plan
apraxia/dyspraxia
inability to plan movement
oral apraxia/buccofacial oral apraxia
AKA nonverbal apraxia; difficulty planning a sequence of volitional oral/laryngeal/pharyngeal movements for speech and for anything else (ex: eating)
true
True or false: Automatic movements are preserved in oral apraxia
verbal apraxia (AOS)
difficulty with sequential ordering of movements in the correct spatial and temporal relationship to each other for speech
False! They CAN move their tongue for eating, just not for SPEECH
True or false: Individuals with AOS cannot move their tongue to lick a lollipop or eat
1. Type and severity of etiology
2. Neuroanatomic sites of involvement
3. Coexistence of other disabilities

Neuromotor speech disorders depend on what 4 things?
neoplasm
one etiology for neuromotor speech disorders; any type of abnormal growth such as a tumor, cyst, or vascular malformation
