The intestines of newborns produce very little lactase, but production of lactase reaches sufficient levels by the sixth month of life.

In America, when caregivers begin offering solid foods to their infants, cereal most frequently is offered. Infant cereals offer both advantages and disadvantages. Advantages of offering whole-grain infant cereal are: (1) the infant is developmentally ready to accept the cereal mixed with breast milk or formula, (2) the fortified cereal supplies supplemental iron and zinc, (3) the infant can digest the starch in the cereal, and (4) wheat cereals provide an opportunity for the immune system to become accustomed to wheat, which is one of the common food allergens.

You have completed both a one-word picture articulation test (i.e., GFTA-3) and a spontaneous speech sample for a child referred for suspected speech sound difficulties. You need to make a differential diagnosis between an articulation disorder and a phonological disorder. Describe the information you are obtaining in each of the analysis below AND indicate how this analysis helps you to reach a differential diagnosis conclusion. Specifically, address what differences you would expect to see between an articulation disorder and a phonological disorder (if any) in each of the following assessment components: Evaluation of the Speech Mechanism: Oral Mechanism Exam (+1) Phonetic Inventory (+2) Phonemic Inventory (+2) Phonotactic Inventory (+1) Relational Inventory (+2) Phonological Processes Inventory (+1) Percent Consonants Correct (PCC) Analysis (+2) Briefly discuss the importance of making a differential diagnosis for a child with a speech sound disorder as it relates to choosing an appropriate intervention.

Olive (4;5 years) is a monolingual English-speaking girl. She has a moderate-severe phonological impairment and has been receiving intervention targeting cluster reduction. An improvement on a phonological generalization probe suggests that Olive is:

For a child such as Susie (7;4 years), who has an articulation impairment characterized by lateralization of /s, z/ across all word positions:

According to Heilmann and colleagues, a 1 -minute sample of conversational speech should render approximately _________________________ words. In most cases, this will constitute an adequate sample. 

Franklin (4;1 years) is monolingual and speaks English. You have conducted an assessment with Franklin, analyzed his speech sample and identified that he substitutes /t, k, θ, s, ʃ, tʃ, tw, tɹ, θɹ, st, sk, sl, stɹ, skw, skɹ, ʃɹ, kw, kl, kɹ, kj/ in word-initial position with [t]. This can most succinctly be described as:
