PROGRAM SESSIONSTH 3:30PM-5:30PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/255-257 Neuroanatomy of UMN & LMN Speech Disorders Susan Jackson, U of Kansas Med Ctr, Kansas City, KS The neuroanatomy of dysarthrias caused by upper motor neuron and/or lower motor neuron damage will be discussed. Corticobulbar input to cranial nerves will be described, along with the advantages of bilateral innervation. There will be an emphasis on cranial nerves V (trigeminal), VII (facial), X (vagus), and XII (hypoglossal). The presentation will include a case study, a call-and-response song about neurons, and audience participation in visual demonstrations depicting upper and lower motor neurons. spEECh-LanguagE pathoLogY Thursday, november 19, 2009 TH 3:15PM-3:45PM, Technical, CC/353 Benign Congenital Hypotonia: Why Is It Important? Georgina Tegou, Anagennisis Rehab Ctr, Thesaloniki (GR); Hariklia Proios, Anagennisis Rehab Ctr, Thessaloniki (GR); Victor Vital, Aristotle U of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki (GR) We present PA and SE, 4.5 and 6.4, referred for speechlanguage therapy from the ENT department of a university hospital with a diagnosis of congenital benign hypotonia (BCH). Both cases were referred for tonsillectomies and the physician refused to surgically intervene. The structural and functional profiles for speech demonstrate BCH may be due to a disorder of the central nervous system and not be the effect of muscle disease. TH 2:30PM-2:45PM, Technical, CC/353 Functional Independence of Lingual Movements in Dysarthric Speakers Mili Kuruvilla, U of Nebraska – Lincoln, Lincoln, NE; Jordan Green, U of Nebraska – Lincoln, Lincoln, NE; Yana Yunusova, U of Toronto, Toronto (CA) To produce the full range of sounds during speech, talkers move the different regions of the tongue quasiindependently. The effect of neurologic disease on tongue control is poorly understood. Twenty dysarthric (10 ALS, 10 PD) and 25 typical talkers were investigated. Estimates of functional independence among tongue blade, tongue body, and tongue dorsum during speech were made from XRMB data. Preliminary findings suggest reduced functional independence between the two groups of dysarthric speakers compared to controls. TH 4:45PM-5:00PM, Technical, CC/353 Speech Naturalness & Apraxia of Speech Anne Lattin, U of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; Robert Marshall, U of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; Richard Andreatta, U of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; Anne Olson, U of Kentucky, Lexington, KY This study examined the validity of speech naturalness (SN) ratings for persons with apraxia of speech (AOS) and aphasia across three elicitation contexts. Eighteen listeners rated SN for 7 AOS and 7 non-AOS participants. Raters were moderately reliable in judgments of SN, and SN ratings were not impacted by elicitation context. Therefore, SN ratings may be a useful measure for AOS speakers; however, future research should confirm reliability and determine linguistic impact on SN ratings. TH 2:45PM-3:00PM, Technical, CC/353 Rate-Dependent Coordinative Flexibility of Lower Lip & Jaw in ALS Antje Mefferd, Wichita St U, Wichita, KS; Jordan Green, U of Nebraska – Lincoln, Lincoln, NE This goal of this study was to identify potential constraints in the coordinative flexibility of lower lip and jaw in talkers with ALS. The relative contribution of lower lip and jaw movements was calculated during sentence repetitions at various speaking rates. Compared to healthy controls, talkers with ALS showed significantly greater relative contribution of the jaw during habitual and fast speaking rates. Findings were discussed with respect to speaking rate and intelligibility decline in ALS. TH 4:00PM-4:15PM, Technical, CC/353 Variability of Sound Productions in Apraxia of Speech: Perceptual Analysis Shannon C. Mauszycki, VA Salt Lake City Hlthcare System/U of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT; Julie Wambaugh, VA Salt Lake City Hlthcare System/U of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT; Rosalea Cameron, VA Salt Lake City Hlthcare System/U of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT This investigation examined variability of sound errors in 11 individuals with AOS using narrow phonetic transcription. Monosyllabic word productions were elicited on three sampling occasions over a 7-day period. At each sampling time, productions were elicited under two conditions: blocked presentation (blocked by sound) and randomized presentation. Findings revealed a similar number of errors for the group in both conditions across sampling times. Distortions were the predominant error type across conditions and sampling times. 1336 Poster Board 265 TH 8:00AM-9:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Effect of LSVT® on Lexical Tone Tara Whitehill, U of Hong Kong, Hong Kong (HK); Lorinda Kwan, U of Hong Kong, Hong Kong (HK); Mia M-N. Chow, U of Hong Kong, Hong Kong (HK); Flora P-H. Lee, U of Hong Kong, Hong Kong (HK) 1337 Poster Board 266 TH 8:00AM-9:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Response Preparation Deficits in Parkinson's Disease Kristie Spencer, U of Washington, Seattle, WA 1338 Poster Board 267 TH 3:00PM-3:15PM, Technical, CC/353 Speech Kinematics of Children With Cerebral Palsy Ignatius Nip, San Diego St U, San Diego, CA Little is known about the underlying speech movement characteristics of children with cerebral palsy. This study examines the speed and range of movement in three children with cerebral palsy and compares their performance to age- and sex-matched peers. Orofacial movements will be recorded using an optical motion capture. Analyses will focus on the differences in speech kinematics between the two groups. Discussion will examine the potentially theoretical and clinical implications of the findings. TH 4:15PM-4:30PM, Technical, CC/353 Using Motor Learning & AAC Across Two Clinical Sites Joanne Lasker, Florida St U, Tallahassee, FL; Rebecca Greenhill, Tallahassee Memorial Neuro Rehab, Tallahassee, FL This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a combined approach for apraxia of speech in a 26-year-old who was 6 months post stroke. Treatment consisted of the motor learning guided approach and home practice with a speech-generating device. The client participated in treatment sessions at two clinical sites. Results revealed greater improvement in production of trained words and phrases than in untrained stimuli. In addition, the client began to use spoken utterances in daily conversation. TH 8:00AM-9:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Using Automatic Speech Recognition With Individuals Who Have Parkinson's Disease Magdalen Balz, Boston U, Boston, MA; Melanie Matthies, Boston U, Boston, MA 1339 Poster Board 268 TH 10:00AM-11:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Does the Method of Training Transcribers Affect Speech Intelligibility Ratings? Neila Donovan, LSU COMD, Baton Rouge, LA; Ashley Marino, LSU COMD, Baton Rouge, LA; Heidi Michiels, LSU COMD, Baton Rouge, LA; Julie Jones, Louisiana St U, Baton Rouge, LA; Ashley Bourque Meaux, Louisiana St U, Baton Rouge, LA TH 10:00AM-11:30AM,Poster, CC/Hall G Laryngeal Behavior Following Intensive Speech Treatments in Parkinson's Disease Elizabeth Hannon, U of Colorado – Boulder, Boulder, CO; Jennifer Spielman, Natl Ctr for Voice & Speech, Denver, CO; Angela Halpern, Natl Ctr for Voice & Speech, Denver, CO; Lorraine Ramig, U of Colorado – Boulder, Boulder, CO 1340 Poster Board 269 TH 4:30PM-4:45PM, Technical, CC/353 Voice Perturbation Following Direct Somatosensory Stimulation of the Laryngeal Mucosa Michael Hammer, U of Wisconsin – Madison, Madison, WI; Timothy McCulloch, U of Wisconsin – Madison, Madison, WI Evidence suggests that the laryngeal somatosensorium plays a key role in phonatory control. However, the question remains as to how direct somatosensory input to the laryngeal mucosa influences phonation. Therefore, we examined pitch and intensity perturbation using direct somatosensory stimulation of the laryngeal mucosa. Responses included transient positive (pitch) or negative (intensity) deflection. Response magnitude was significantly correlated with stimulus magnitude. We will discuss implications of these findings for understanding normal and disordered laryngeal control. 1341 Poster Board 270 TH 10:00AM-11:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Effect of Noise on Speech Intelligibility in Dysarthria Megan McAuliffe, U of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand; Martina Schafer, U of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand; Greg O'Beirne, U of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand; Leonard L.
