CCC Speech Sound Disorders 2

Question 1

Which evidence-based approach uses minimal pairs to contrast error and target sounds to facilitate phonological change?

Accepted Answer

Minimal opposition contrast therapy

Answer

Minimal opposition contrast therapy pairs words that differ by only one phoneme to highlight the communicative impact of the error.

Question 2

The Cycles Approach was developed primarily to treat which type of disorder?

Accepted Answer

Highly unintelligible phonological disorders

Answer

The Cycles Approach, developed by Hodson and Paden, targets children with highly unintelligible speech due to multiple phonological process errors.

Question 3

Which phonological process involves moving a back consonant to a more anterior position, such as saying 'tat' for 'cat'?

Accepted Answer

Fronting

Answer

Fronting occurs when velar or palatal sounds are replaced by alveolar or dental sounds.

Question 4

A speech-language pathologist selects intervention targets using a complexity approach. Which sounds are prioritized?

Accepted Answer

Late-developing sounds the child does not produce

Answer

The complexity approach targets late-developing, non-stimulable sounds to promote system-wide generalization.

Question 5

Percentage of consonants correct (PCC) is a metric used to quantify which aspect of speech?

Accepted Answer

Articulation accuracy

Answer

PCC measures the proportion of consonants produced correctly in a speech sample, reflecting articulation accuracy.
