32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- ASHA CCC-SLP
- Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology; requires graduate degree, supervised practicum, Praxis pass, and Clinical Fellowship of 36 weeks under a mentor.
- Clinical Fellowship (CF)
- Supervised post-graduate clinical experience of 36 weeks full-time (or equivalent) under a mentor with current CCC-SLP, required before certification.
- ASHA Code of Ethics
- Four principles: welfare of persons served, professional competence, responsibility to the public, and responsibilities to the profession.
- FAPE
- Free Appropriate Public Education under IDEA; requires individualized special education and related services at no cost to families in the least restrictive environment.
- HIPAA versus FERPA
- HIPAA protects individually identifiable health information; FERPA protects education records. Both may apply to school-based services and require separate analyses.
- Informed consent elements
- Includes nature of services, risks, benefits, alternatives, right to refuse, and documentation; surrogate consent applies for minors or adults lacking capacity.
- Sensitivity
- True positives divided by true positives plus false negatives; a highly sensitive screening tool correctly identifies most individuals who have the disorder.
- Specificity
- True negatives divided by true negatives plus false positives; a highly specific tool correctly identifies most individuals who do not have the disorder.
- Standard score conversion
- Standard scores have mean 100 and SD 15; scaled scores mean 10 SD 3; T-scores mean 50 SD 10; z-scores mean 0 SD 1.
- Standard error of measurement
- SEM = SD × square root of (1 − reliability); used to build confidence intervals around an obtained score.
- Dynamic assessment
- Test–teach–retest paradigm measuring modifiability and learning potential; reduces cultural and linguistic bias in assessment of diverse populations.
- MLU
- Mean length of utterance in morphemes; computed from a language sample of at least 50–100 utterances and used to index grammatical development.
- Criterion-referenced measure
- Compares performance to a defined standard or skill criterion rather than a norm group; useful for goal writing and progress monitoring.
- SMART goal
- Goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound; baseline data must be recorded before intervention begins.
- Evidence-based practice
- Integration of best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and client values and preferences in making service decisions.
- Response to intervention tiers
- Tier 1 universal instruction, Tier 2 targeted small-group intervention, Tier 3 intensive individualized intervention; SLPs may consult or serve within tiers.
- Cueing hierarchy
- Least-to-most restrictive prompts: verbal, visual, gestural, model, physical; data collection records the level of cueing required.
- Treatment intensity
- Product of session frequency, session duration, and total duration; dose refers to the number of teaching episodes per session.
- AAC trial
- Period of device or system use with data collection on communication effectiveness, partner support, and access before final selection.
- Broca's aphasia
- Nonfluent aphasia with relatively preserved comprehension, impaired repetition, and effortful, telegraphic speech; typically left frontal lesion.
- Wernicke's aphasia
- Fluent aphasia with impaired auditory comprehension and impaired repetition, often with paraphasic, empty speech; typically left posterior temporal lesion.
- Conduction aphasia
- Fluent aphasia with relatively preserved comprehension but markedly impaired repetition, often with phonemic paraphasias; arcuate fasciculus involvement.
- Hypokinetic dysarthria
- Dysarthria associated with basal ganglia disease such as Parkinson's; reduced amplitude, monotone, rapid rate, and imprecise articulation.
- Ataxic dysarthria
- Dysarthria from cerebellar damage; irregular articulatory breakdowns, excess and equal stress, and unsteady speech timing.
- Speech sound acquisition
- /p, b, m, n, w, h/ by age 3; /k, g, f, t, d, ng/ by 4; /s, z, l, r, v/ by 6–8; /θ, ð, ʒ, dʒ/ are late-developing.
- Autism spectrum disorder
- DSM-5-TR diagnosis requiring deficits in social communication plus restricted, repetitive behaviors, rated by severity levels 1–3.
- Stuttering risk factors
- Family history, male sex, onset after age 3.5, persistence beyond 12 months, and concomitant speech or language disorder.
- Dysphagia phases
- Oral preparatory, oral transit, pharyngeal, and esophageal phases; aspiration may be silent with no cough reflex.
- Penetration-Aspiration Scale
- Rosenbek scale of 1–8 rating depth of airway invasion and clearance during VFSS; score 8 indicates silent aspiration.
- IDDSI framework
- 2019 standardized diet framework with 8 levels (0–7) for foods and drinks; Level 0 thin liquid, Level 4 extremely thick.
- MBSImP
- Standardized VFSS rating tool by Martin-Harris scoring 17 physiologic components of swallowing to characterize impairment.
- Chin-down posture
- Swallowing maneuver that narrows the airway and widens the vallecula, reducing aspiration risk for some patients.
