Case: We are going to work through the Learning Objectives and Study Questions together in our discussions.

Pick one of the following questions and answer it briefly.  Remember to incorporate your own words.  You must answer a different question than your classmates so read their responses before posting.   Limit your response to a 250-word maximum.

Make your first post by FRIDAY.  Make your final post by TUESDAY by responding to one of your classmates' posts by providing positive reinforcement if the answer was correct or corrective feedback if the answer was incorrect and help your classmate by providing the correction.  The topics we discuss in our course are part of life and the real-world.  Make a connection when you reply to a classmate's post to authenticate the learning experience.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe how vowels and consonants are produced.
2. Explain the etiologies of articulation and phonological disorders.
3. Discuss the essentials of articulation disorders.

Knowledge and Comprehension:

1. Explain each of the three distinctive features (voice, manner, and place) that determine the production of sounds.
2. List the three primary etiologies of articulation, phonological, communication, and cognitive problems.
3. Explain how hearing loss could affect the development of communication.
4. Explain substitution and distortion, and provide two examples of each.
5. List the general sequence for remediation articulation disorders.

Application:

1. Explain why it is important to consider a child's articulation errors in all three positions of words - that is the initial, medial, and final positions of words.
2. Explain why you might consider the frequency of sounds in the primary language when trying to determine which sounds to target with children who have developmental articulation delays.
3. Discuss how clinicians can maintain a perspective of normal children to help them better recognize and treat children with communication delays and disorders.
4. Explain what a clinician might informally assess during unstructured rapport-building time.
5. Discuss how understanding the emotional and social effects of a child's communication problem can help the child.
