THE FIELD, THE PROFESSIONALS, AND THE CLIENTS
Chapter Learning Goals
1. Describe communication impairment2. Describe the roles of audiologists, speech/language pathologists, and speech, language, and hearing
scientists3. Outline the history of changing attitudes toward individuals with disabilities over the centuries and
especially legislation over the past several decades.4. Describe how evidence-based practice (EBP) influences clinical decisions.
Introduction
Communication is part of what makes us human. We will explore the nature of communication disorders in this text. In the first chapter, we introduce the professionals who work with individuals who have communication disorders. In addition, the roles of other team members will be discussed, as well as evidence-based practice and a historical perspective of laws that mandate appropriate care.
Content Outline
HELPING OTHERS TO HELP THEMSELVESReasons for becoming a SLP or audiologist vary from person to person. Some may want to contribute to the general good of society, and others may have experience with individuals with communication disorders in their family or circle of friends.
COMMUNICATION DISORDERS A communication disorder may affect any and all aspects of communication; it may affect
hearing, language, and/or speech. Speech disorder: Atypical production of speech sounds, interruption in the flow of speaking, or
abnormal production and/or absence of voice quality (pitch, loudness, resonance, and/or duration).
Language disorder:Impairment in comprehension and/or use of spoken, written, and/or other symbol systems.
Hearing disorder: A result of impaired sensitivity of the auditory or hearing system. Central auditory processing disorders: Deficits in the processing of information from audible
signals. Communication disorders are NOT differences, such as dialectal differences or multilingualism. Augmentative/alternative communication systems: Attempts often taught by SLPs to
compensate and facilitate for impaired communication using, for example, signing or digital methods.
THE PROFESSIONALS Audiologists:Measure hearing and identify, assess, manage, and prevent disordersof hearing
(including auditory processing disorders) and balance. They may dispense hearing aids. Credentials for Audiologists
Educational requirements are 3-5 years of professional education beyond the bachelor’s degree.
This culminates in a doctoral degree, either an AuD, PhD, or EdD in audiology. ASHA CCC-A: Requires doctorate, professional experience, national exam. State license is often needed and is frequently identical to ASHA CCC.
Speech-Language Pathologists:Identify, assess, treat, and prevent expressive and receptive communication disorders in all modalities. They provide services for swallowing disorders and may be involved in modifying dialects. Credentials for SLPs
Public schools require at least a bachelor’s degree, but most states require a master's degree. Requirements vary from state to state.

ASHA CCC-SLP: Requires master's degree or doctorate, professionalexperience, professional development, national exam.
State license often needed and is frequently identical to ASHA CCC. There may also be additional requirements for the state’s department of education school certification.
Speech, Language, and Hearing Scientists: Extend knowledge of human communication processes and disorders.They usually have doctorate degrees and are employed by universities, government agencies, industry, and research centers. Some may also work clinically. ♦ What Speech, Language, and Hearing Scientists Do
Speech scientists may be involved in basic research exploring anatomy, physiology, and physics of speech-sound production.
Investigate the causes, prevention, and treatment of various speech impairments. Development of computer-generated speech. Language scientists may investigate the ways children learn language. Conduct cross-cultural studies of language and communication. Study how languages are changing. Examine language disabilities and the nature of language disorders in children and
adults. Hearing scientists investigate the nature of sound, noise, and hearing. They may help develop equipment for hearing assessment. Develop techniques for testing infants or those with physical or psychological
impairments. Develop and improve assistive listening devices. Concerned with conservation of hearing and limiting environmental noise.
Professional Aides:Work with supervision to assist audiologists and SLPs. Their titles, educational requirements, and responsibilities vary amongst states that permit their employment. They may work only with supervision and there are limits to the tasks in which they can be involved.
Related Professionals: A Team Approach:Teams can include family members, regular and special education teachers, psychologists, social workers, physiciansand other medical personnel, and occupational, physical, and music therapists. They may collaborate with physicists and engineers.
SERVICE THROUGH THE LIFESPAN Individuals with communication disorders may be of any age. 1 in 5 people has a disability, and the likelihood increases as we age. Infants are screened for hearing loss and other disabilities as soon as they are born. Babies and toddlers may exhibit developmental delay. An interdisciplinary approach is necessary in the assessment and treatment of young children,
and an IFSP is developed for each child, which is directed to the entire family. Early intervention is highly valuable and may prevent later difficulties. Preschoolers may attend a special school where professionals can address the child’s needs. Almost half of all SLPs are employed in school systems. School-age children with communication difficulties often experience academic and social
difficulties. 1.5 to 2 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury each year and may have subsequent
communication or swallowing impairments. In those over age 65, stroke, neurological disorders, and dementia may interfere with
communication and swallowing. Hearing loss may affect at least one quarter of older adults. Evidence-Based Practice
♦ SLPs and audiologists must provide the most effective intervention based on available evidence.
♦ Clinical decision-making: combination of scientific evidence, clinical experience, and client needs. Assumptions of EBP:
5
From https://testbankgo.eu/p/Test-Bank-for-Introduction-to-Communication-Disorders-A-Lifespan-Evidence-Based-Perspective-5th-Edition-by-Owens
Clinical skill grows from experience and current available data. The SLP or audiologist seeks new therapeutic information to improve efficacy.
♦ Professional, peer-reviewed journals are the best source of clinical evidence. ♦ ASHA has established the National Center for Evidence-Based Practice in Communication
Disorders, but comprehensive assessment and intervention guidelines are still works in progress.
♦ Efficacy: The probability of benefit from an intervention under ideal conditions. There are three key elements: It refers to an identified population, not specific individuals. The treatment should be focused and the population should be clearly identified. The research should be conducted under optimal intervention conditions, although actual
clinical conditions may be less than ideal.♦ Effectiveness: The probability of benefit from an intervention method under average
conditions. It is what works in real-world application of intervention. ♦ Efficiency: The quickest and least effortful method resulting in the greatest positive benefit. ♦ Additional factors affecting clinical decision making include the clinician’s expertise,
experience, attitude, and motivation, client/family values and characteristics, and service delivery variables.
♦ Providing the best intervention possible is of foremost concern. Intervention options and supporting evidence should be discussed with clients and/or family members.
COMMUNICATION DISORDERS IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Disorders are not new but attitudes toward them have changed throughout the centuries. By the late 1700s, special residences were designed for individuals with specific disorders. The first U.S. “speech correctionists” were educators and others who took an interest in speech
problems. The first professional journal related to communication, The Voice, was established in 1879. Early interest groups included teachers within the National Education Association and the
National Association of Teachers of Speech. The American Academy of Speech Correction was formed in 1925, a precursor to ASHA. Audiology became a profession in the 1920s and experienced a boom in the 1940s due to World
War II veterans who were experiencing noise-induced hearing loss. The American Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities was created in 1974. Select federal mandates affecting people with communication disabilities:
1975: Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA) (Public Law 94-142) Mandated that a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) must be provided for all
handicapped children between ages 5 and 21. 1986: Education of the Handicapped Amendments (Public Law 99-457)
Extended age of those served to cover children between the ages of birth and 5 years. 1990: Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
Addressed the multicultural nature of the U.S. 2004: Reauthorization of IDEA
Established birth-to-6 programs as well as new early intervention services.
Summary
SLPs, audiologists, and other specialists work to assist individuals with communication impairments. They work in a variety of settings and with people throughout the lifespan. Clinicians have a minimum of a master’s degree and supervised clinical experience, and generally have the ASHA CCCs. ASHA is the largest organization of professionals working with communication disorders. ASHA’s missions include the scientific study of human communication, provision of clinical service in speech/language pathology and audiology, maintenance of ethical standards, and advocacy for individuals with communication disabilities. Federal legislation currently mandates services for people with disabilities.

Chapter Learning Goals
1. Explain the role of culture and environment in communication.2. Describe what is involved in human communication.3. Demonstrate how communication disorders may be classified.4. Name some types of communication disorders.5. Discuss and estimate the frequency of occurrence of communication disorders.6. Describe in general the assessment and intervention process.
Content Outline
HUMAN COMMUNICATION The Social Animal
Communication: An exchange of ideas between sender(s) and receiver(s). Sociolinguistics: How cultural identity, setting, and participants influence communication. Cultural Identity
Refers to our language and cultural communities (nationality, age, gender, ethnicity, etc.). Means of Communication
♦ Language: A socially shared tool that is used to represent concepts. It uses arbitrary symbols that are combined in rule-governed ways. Grammar refers to the rules of a language. Linguistic intuition is the recognition of "right" or "wrong" grammar by native speakers. Generative means that each utterance is freshly created. Dynamic means that languages change over time. All languages have three primary components: Form, Content, and Use. Formconsists of phonology, morphology, and syntax.
Phonologyis the sound system of a language. Phonotactic rules specify how sounds may be arranged in words. Morphologyinvolves the structure of words. Morphemes are the smallest grammatical units in a language. Free morphemes may stand alone as a word. Bound morphemes change the meaning of the original words and can only be
attached to free morphemes. Syntaxis how words are arranged in a sentence and the ways in which one word
may affect another. Content consists of semantics.
Semantics refers to the content or meaning of language. Semantic features are pieces of meaning that define a particular word.
Useconsists of pragmatics, which is how and why we use language. Pragmatic rules vary with culture.
♦ Speech: The process of producing the acoustic representation of language. Articulationis the way speech sounds are formed. Fluencyis the smooth, forward flow of communication, influenced by rhythm and rate.
Rate is the speed at which we talk. Rate and rhythm are components ofprosody, or speech suprasegmentals.
♦ Voice can reveal things about the speaker and the message. Both the overall level of loudness and the loudness pattern within sentences and words
are important. Pitch is a listener’s perception of how high or low a sound is (frequency) Habitual pitch is the basic tone that an individual uses most of the time. Intonation is the pitch movement within an utterance.
8
From https://testbankgo.eu/p/Test-Bank-for-Introduction-to-Communication-Disorders-A-Lifespan-Evidence-Based-Perspective-5th-Edition-by-Owens
♦ Nonverbal Communication: About 2/3 of human meaning exchange is nonverbal. Nonverbal encompasses both the suprasegmental aspects of speech and the nonvocal and nonlinguistic aspect of communication. Artifacts: How you look, your clothes, your possessions, music you listen to, etc. Kinesics: The way we move our body, or body language.
Explicit movements are clearly defined. Implicit movements are more general or subtle.
Space and Time Proxemicsis the physical distance between people as it affects communication. Tactilesare touching behaviors. Chronemics is the effect of time on communication.
COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE LIFESPAN Infants must first learn the rudiments of communication and begin to master speech. The early establishment of communication between children and caregivers fosters the
development of speech and language, which influence the quality of communication. This is complicated by physical, cognitive, and social development. The key to becoming a communicator is being treated as one. The process of learning speech and language is a social one that occurs through interactions of
children and the people in their environment. Every person’s speech and language continues to change until the end of life. A competent communicator continues to adapt to changes in the language and in the
communication process.
COMMUNICATION IMPAIRMENTS Communication disorders consist of disorders of speech (articulation, voice, resonance, fluency),
oral neuromotor patterns of control and movement, language impairment, feeding and swallowing disorders, cognitive and social communication deficits, and hearing and processing difficulties.
May be categorized on the basis of whether reception, processing, and/or expression are affected.
Etiology is the cause/origin of a problem, and may be used to classify a communication problem.♦ Faulty learning, neurological impairments, anatomical or physiological abnormalities,
cognitive deficits, hearing impairment, or damage to any part of the speech system. Congenital: Present at birth. Acquired: The result of illness, accident, or environmental circumstances later in life. Severity is also used to characterize communication disorders, ranging from mild to profound. Variations in communication are not impairments. Dialects: Differences that reflect a particular regional, social, cultural, or ethnic identity. A holistic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of people with communication impairments is
used in this text. Language Disorders
Disorders of Form Errors in sound use constitute a disorder of phonology. Incorrect use of past tense or plural markers is an example of a disorder of morphology. Syntactical errors include incorrect word order and run-on sentences. May be due to sensory limitations, perceptual difficulties, limited exposure to correct
models, etc. Disorders of Content
Limited vocabulary, misuse of words, or word-finding problems. Difficulty understanding and using abstract language. May be due to limited experience, concrete learning style, strokes, head trauma, or
certain illnesses. Disorders of Use
Pragmatic impairments may stem from limited or unacceptable conversational, social, and narrative skills; deficits in spoken vocabulary; and/or immature or disordered phonology, morphology, and syntax.

Might include difficulty staying on topic, providing inappropriate or incongruent responses to questions, or continually interrupting the conversational partner.
Speech Disorders: May involve articulation, fluency, or voice. Disorders of Articulation
Articulation: The actual production of speech sounds. It is not always easy to determine whether an individual’s speech-sound errors indicate
an impairment of phonology (a language problem) or articulation. The causes of articulation disorders include neuromotor problems such as cerebral palsy,
physical anomalies such as cleft palate, and faulty learning. Dysarthria is a speech disorder caused by paralysis, weakness, or poor coordination of
the speech musculature. Apraxiaof speech is a speech disorder that is due to neuromotor programming
difficulties. Disorders of Fluency
The smooth, uninterrupted flow of speech is affected. Developmental disfluency: Speech patterns common to young children (~age 3). Fillers: Examples include “er,” “um,” and “ya know.” Hesitations: Unexpected pauses. Repetitions: Sounds or words are repeated, as in “g-go-go.” Prolongations: Excessively long duration, as in “wwwwwwwell.” Stuttering: When these speech behaviors exceed or are qualitatively different from
the norm or are accompanied by excessive tension, struggle, and fear. Fluency disorders are generally first noticed before age 6. Adult onset of stuttering can also occur. The causes of nonfluent speech are typically unclear.
Voice Disorders Congenital physiological conditions can affect voice, but are relatively rare. Vocal abuse: Excessive yelling, screaming, or loud singing. Can result in hoarseness or
another voice disorder. Habits such as physical tension, coughing, throat clearing, smoking, and drinking alcohol
can disrupt normal voice production. Can result in pathology such as polyps, nodules, or ulcers. Other causes: Disease, trauma, allergies, and neuromuscular or endocrine disorders.
Hearing Disorders Deafness
When a person’s ability to perceive sound is limited to such an extent that the auditory channel is not the primary sensory input for communication. It may be congenital or acquired.
Interventions Total communication is considered the most effective. Assistive listening devices, cochlear implants, and auditory training are helpful.
Hard of Hearing People who are hard of hearing depend primarily on audition for communication. Hearing loss may be temporary or permanent. Hearing loss is categorized in terms of severity, laterality, and type.
Severity may range from mild to severe. The loss can be bilateral (involving both hears) or unilateral (involving one ear). The type of loss can be conductive, sensorineural, or mixed.
Conductive: Caused by damage to the outer or middle ear. Sensorineural: Problems with the inner ear and/or auditory nerve. Mixed: Both conductive and sensorineural losses.
Auditory Processing Disorders Individuals with APD may have normal hearing but difficulty understanding speech. ♦ Difficulty keeping up with conversation, understanding speech in noise, discriminating and
identifying speech sounds, and integrating speech with nonverbals.♦ Etiology is often unknown, but can be due to tumor, disease, or brain injury.
10
From https://testbankgo.eu/p/Test-Bank-for-Introduction-to-Communication-Disorders-A-Lifespan-Evidence-Based-Perspective-5th-Edition-by-Owens
♦ Can occur in children or adults.♦ May coexist with other disorders.
How Common Are Communication Disorders?♦ What is "Normal"?
Variability is the norm. “Typical” is a better term when we mean “like most others of the same group.”
♦ Communication Disorders as Secondary to Other Disabilities. Most communication disorders are secondary to other disabilities. Children with cleft palate also have physical health problems. People with cerebral palsy have more global motor deficits. Children with learning disabilities may also have academic and social difficulties.
♦ Estimates of Prevalence Prevalence: The number/percentage of people within a specified population who have a
particular disorder or condition at a given point in time. About 17% of the U.S. population has acommunication disorder. About 11% have a hearing loss. About 6% have a speech, voice, or language disorder. 6-10 million Americans have swallowing disorders; many have communication
impairments. The percentage of people with hearing loss increases with age. Impairments of speech-sound and fluency are more common in children than adults and
more common in males that females. Speech disorders due to neurological disorders or brain and spinal cord injury occur more
often among adults. 3-10% of Americans have voice disorders. Language disorders occur in 8-12% of the preschool population and decreases through
the school years. 5-10% of older adults experience language disabilities related to stroke or dementia.
DECIDING WHETHER THERE IS A PROBLEM Selection for assessment may come from referral from another professional or concerned adult or
from a screening. Adults may refer themselves. Defining the Problem
♦ Assessment of communication disorders is the systematic process of obtaining information from many sources, through various means, and in different settings to verify and specify communication strengths and weakness, identify possible causes of problems, and make plans to address them.
♦ Diagnosis: Distinguishes an individual’s difficulties from the broad range of possible problems.
Assessment Goals♦ The primary goal of diagnosis is determining exactly what is wrong.♦ Diagnostic therapy: Working with the client for a time to obtain a clearer picture of strengths
and weaknesses. ♦ If a problem exists, the SLP should determine severity. ♦ Etiology (cause) should be determined. ♦ Predisposing causes may include genetic factors.♦ Precipitating factors trigger a disorder♦ Maintaining or perpetuating causes continue or add to the problem. ♦ Recommendations are part of the assessment report. ♦ The SLP makes a prognosis (informed prediction of an outcome) regarding whether the
problem will persist if no intervention occurs and what the likely outcome is if a course of therapy or other treatment plan is followed.
Assessment Procedures
11
From https://testbankgo.eu/p/Test-Bank-for-Introduction-to-Communication-Disorders-A-Lifespan-Evidence-Based-Perspective-5th-Edition-by-Owens
♦ Authentic data: Actual real-life information♦ A clinician should use a variety of procedures. ♦ Norm referenced tests: Yield scores that are used to compare a client with a sample of
similar individuals.♦ Criterion-referenced tests: Evaluate a client’s strengths and weaknesses with regard to
particular skills. ♦ Dynamic assessment includes probing to explore a client’s ability to modify behavior, as in a
test-teach-retest paradigm. ♦ Speech or language sampling techniques may also be used. ♦ Evidence-Based Practice
Most ASHA assessment guidelines are described in the following chapters.
INTERVENTION WITH COMMUNICATION DISORDERS Providing culturally responsive intervention is extremely important for children from culturally
linguistically diverse backgrounds. Intervention is influenced by the nature and severity of the disorder, the age and status of the
client, environmental considerations, and personal/cultural characteristics of client and clinician. ASHA has established the National Center for Treatment Effectiveness in Communicative
Disorders and is currently coordinating a National Institutes of Health-funded effort to promote clinical research that will support EBP.
Objectives of Intervention♦ The client should show improvement and this should generalize.♦ What has been learned should be largely automatic.♦ The client must be able to self-monitor.♦ The client should make optimum progress in the minimum amount of time.♦ Intervention should be sensitive to the personal and cultural characteristics of the client.
Target Selection♦ The client’s personal needs and the potential for intervention to generalize are relevant in
making target selection determinations. ♦ Likelihood of success and typical behaviors of others at the client’s age and gender are also
relevant. Baseline Data
♦ Measurement of the client’s accuracy before beginning intervention. Behavioral Objectives
♦ A statement that specifies the target behavior in an observable and measurable way. ♦ A: Actor: Who is expected to do the behavior?♦ B: Behavior: What is the observable and measurable behavior?♦ C: Condition: What is the context or condition of the behavior?♦ D: Degree: What is the targeted degree of success?
Clinical Elements♦ Direct Teaching
Behavior modification: A systematic method of changing behavior. The SLP provides a stimulus and reinforces the response if it is correct or provides
corrective feedback if it is not. ♦ Incidental Teaching
The SLP follows the client’s lead but teaches along the way. ♦ Counseling
SLP can provide a supportive environment for the client and other key people in the client’s life.
♦ Family and Environmental Involvement Family members may be asked to help the client with specific activities at home to foster
carryover.
12
From https://testbankgo.eu/p/Test-Bank-for-Introduction-to-Communication-Disorders-A-Lifespan-Evidence-Based-Perspective-5th-Edition-by-Owens
Support groups can provide an avenue to practice what has been learned in therapy, share feelings about the disability, and maintain communication skills once formal treatment has been terminated.
Measuring Effectiveness♦ Post-therapy tests can be used to determine whether clients have met their objectives. ♦ If therapy has been effective, the client is successful in generalizing the learned skills, can
self-correct, and experiences automaticity. Follow-up and Maintenance
♦ Upon dismissal, the client or family should be encouraged to return if there is a need. ♦ A regular follow-up schedule can be established. ♦ Booster treatment may be provided if needed.
Summary
Communication is an exchange of ideas, involving message transmission and response. It is strongly influenced by culture and environment. The primary vehicle of human communication is language. It may be spoken, written, or signed. The three major components are form (phonology, morphology, syntax), content (semantics), and use (pragmatics). Nonverbals play a large role in communication. Any aspect of communication can be impaired. About 17% of Americans have a communication impairment. Assessment of communication disorders requires an understanding of communication in context. Referrals and screenings are the primary ways in which individuals are selected for assessment. Assessment and treatment function in a cyclical fashion, with one influencing the other. Successful intervention often uses a team approach that involves family members as well as professionals.

Suggested Activities
1. Identify the different speech communities represented in your class. What variations in communication can be noted based on this?
2. Based on student experience, attempt to determine the prevalence of communication disorders. Consider: How many students have a disorder? How many have relatives in this situation? Friends? Acquaintances? What percentage is this of the estimated pool of individuals? What type of disorder is most common? What are the weaknesses in this procedure?
3. Use a computer and projector to visit websites for various disabilities. Often sites have video links with examples of various disorders.
4. Have students sign up to observe live therapy sessions or play video clips in class to illustrate both assessment and treatment procedures.
5. Bring formal assessments to class and pass around for students to get an idea of the types of stimuli used.

21. Briefly (in 6-10 sentences) explain communication through the lifespan. Be sure to touch on how infants learn language, potential complicating factors, and how we end up being competent communicators. Infants must first learn the rudiments of communication and begin to master speech. The early establishment of communication between children and caregivers fosters the development of speech and language, which influence the quality of communication. This is complicated by physical, cognitive, and social development. The key to becoming a communicator is being treated as one. The process of learning speech and language is a social one that occurs through interactions of children and the people in their environment. Every person’s speech and language continues to change until the end of life. A competent communicator continues to adapt to changes in the language and in the communication process.

27. Briefly describe disorders of form and potential etiologies. Errors in sound use constitute a disorder of phonology.Incorrect use of past tense or plural markers is an example of a disorder of morphologySyntactical errors include incorrect word order and run-on sentencesMay be due to sensory limitations, perceptual difficulties, limited exposure to correct models, etc.
28. Briefly describe disorders of content and potential etiologies.Limited vocabulary, misuse of words, or word-finding problemsDifficulty understanding and using abstract languageMay be due to limited experience, concrete learning style, strokes, head trauma, or certain illnesses.
29. Briefly describe disorders of use and potential etiologies. Pragmatic impairments may stem from limited or unacceptable conversational, social, and narrative skills; deficits in spoken vocabulary; and/or immature or disordered phonology, morphology, and syntaxMight include difficulty staying on topic, providing inappropriate or incongruent responses to questions, or continually interrupting the conversational partner.
