Choose the one best answer.

The “freeway space” is:

The distance between the tongue and the soft palate.

The distance the child can stick out his/her tongue beyond front dentition.

The distance between the teeth during oral rest posture.

The distance between you and the car in front of you on the highway.

In most situations, when is the upper age for discontinuing pacifier use?

Age 13.

Age 4.

Age 3.

Age 2.

An interdental lisp can in part be the result of:

Poor chewing skills.

Maintenance of a low, forward tongue pattern of movement.

Long term pacifier/thumbsucking habits.

Both b and c.

Potential reasons to have a tongue frenulectomy performed are:

To release the tongue for improved articulation precision.

To enable the child to lick ice cream without struggle.

To improve dental alignment.

Both a and b.

The most common tongue frenulectomy procedure is:

A simple frenulectomy or tongue “clip.”

A Z-plasty procedure.

A tongue resection.

Ankyloglossia.

A reason to consider compensatory articulation placement for /t,d,n,l/ is:

Children with CAS can’t make these sounds any other way.

Children with CAS struggle with wide-ranging tongue movements.

Children with CAS are not able to achieve tongue elevation.

Children with CAS get too frustrated.

Sleep deprivation can have a negative impact on:

Attention span.

Activity level.

Brain development.

All of the above.

If a child with CAS is recommended for an adenoidectomy:

The tonsils should always be taken out as well.

The procedure should also include ear tube placement.

The ENT should be advised to consider a partial adenoidectomy.

None of the above.

A child with Pheneme Specific Nasal Emission (“pseudo VPI”):

Sends air inappropriately through the nose only

Always has a structural reason for this.

Should be seen by an oral surgeon for immediate palatal surgery.

Can usually modify the sounds on their own without therapy.

Chidren with CAS:

Usually have oral structural reasons for their speech difficulties.

Should always be referred to an ENT Specialist.

May not have an “optimal oral environment” for speech precision.

Usually need a tongue frenulectomy.
