children with SLI have abnormalities in two specific areas of the brain
1. language-specific areas 2. frontal brain areas that influence development of executive functioning skills
the structures of the brain stem
1. midbrain (mesencephalon): postural reflexes, visual reflexes, eye movements, and coordination of eye and head movement 2. pons (metencephalon): hearing and balance 3. medulla (myelencephalon): control vital automatic bodily functions (very important for speech production because it contains descending fibers that transmit motor information)
two major explanations of SLI
1. normal variation: in linguistic skills and that children with SLI are at the lower end of the normal continuum of language skills 2. underlying deficits: is due to deficits in cognitive, audiological, perceptual, and intellectual functions that underlie language
the general procedures for assessment of children of all ages
1. obtain results of visual or audiological evaluations 2. obtain any available relevant medical data that might be important 3. obtain psychological data, including the results of cognitive functioning and intelligence testing 4. interview family members to better understand the problem as they see it, obtain information about the child's language development, assess family communication patterns, and ascertain caregiver preferences about treatment targets

temporal lobed contains two areas that are critical to adequate hearing and speech
1. primary auditory cortex: receives sound stimuli from acoustic CN (VIII) then synthesizes that information so it can be recognized. 2. auditory association area: analyzes speech sounds so that the person can recognize words and sentences
frontal lobe contains areas that are especially critical to speech production:
1. primary motor cortex (motor strip): located in the precental gyrus, controls voluntary movements of skeletal muscles on the opposite side of the body 2. supplementary motor cortex: motor planning of speech 3. broca's area (motor speech area) controls motor movements involved in speech production

A researcher teaches a new book reading program to caregivers of children on the autism spectrum and evaluates the children's literacy skills one year later. The researcher's goal is to evaluate whether or not there is a relationship between caregivers' implementation of the program and children's literacy skills.

The researcher can safely conclude that:
There is no significant relationship between the caregivers implementation of the program and children's literacy skills.

A 58-year-old patient who had undergone a total laryngectomy came to an outpatient clinic complaining of coughing when swallowing.
