Describe VPI |
The inability for the velopharyngeal mechanism to separate the oral and nasal cavities during and speech |

|
Describe the speech production process |
breath in to fill the lungs with air diaphragm pushes air up and out on the way out air hits the vocal folds to vibrate this allows the person to produce speech the quality or resonance of the sound is affected by the oral and nasal cavities |
|
|
What are the 5 categories for voice disorders name and describe an example |
Pitch-monopitch is when a person's pitch does not vary Loudness- monoloudness is when a person is really quiet or the same loudness throughout Aphonia- Consistent aphonia is when a person is consistent without voice Quality- hoarseness is when a person's voice is raspy or hard to hear kind of like when you have a cold Nonphonatory- stridor is when someone's breathing is loud or noisy, its unwanted sound during inhalation and exhalation |
|
