Voice Disorder
Occurs when voice quality, pitch, and loudness are inappropriate
for a child’s age, gender, cultural background, and geographic
location. Respiratory (breathing patterns) and phonatory
(vocal timing) difficulties may impact vocal output.
Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC)
Mode of communication used to supplement a child’s existing
speech that is limited in function or to use when nonverbal communication is present. Example of these modes used are:
sign language, gestures, picture communication symbols,
low-tech communication devices, and high-tech
communication devices.
Early Intervention
Treatment strategies utilized to assist in speech and language
delays that are present in children ages 2-4 years who do not have
any other diagnosed disabilities impacting developmental
milestones for speech and language functioning.
