Childhood Spch/sound disorders Quiz bank

A parent history of speech therapy reduces a child's risk of developing a speech sound disorder.

False

A speech sound disorder involves difficulty with perception, phonology, and/or articulation.

True

/ʒ/ in a word like measure is only produced in the word medial or final position in English. This is an example of a sequential phonotactic constraint.

True

A child's bilingual status is a risk factor for developing a speech sound disorder.

False

A child's hearing loss increases her risk of developing a future speech sound disorder.

True

What three SSD are involved w/ difficulty with motor speech
