a. A Class III Malocclusion is when the 1st mandibular molar is more than one tooth ahead of 1st molar of the maxilla. It is essentially when top teeth are behind the bottom teeth causing an underbite.
b. A phoneme that may be affected /θ/. For example, a person with a Class III Malocclusion would potentially say “sree” for “three” because they are not able to correctly articulate /θ/ in “three”. With a Class III Malocclusion, the articulation would be off, but speech is likely intelligible.
2. Explain the active process of shedding of deciduous teeth (2 points)
a. Around 6-9 months, deciduous (milk teeth) teeth erupt. The deciduous teeth start to shed around 6 years old. First the incisors shed. Then the canines and premolars. Finally, the

In Gilbert et al and Kairaitis, they discuss how an elephant trunk is a muscular hydrostat. The trunk is considered a muscular hydrostat because the structure is made up of almost entirely muscle and there is no skeletal support. The elephant trunk has the ability to move in almost all directions, completing similar movements as the human tongue.
a. Airway resistance is the friction related to the flow of air. There is always going to be resistance because of the root of the tongue, velum, lips, teeth, and uvula. Acoustic impedance is the opposition to the flow of sound energy waves. When airway resistance is high, acoustic impedance is high.
i. The articulator involvement was different because they contact was not the same, which created a different pronunciation of the number. When then pen was in between my teeth, I wasn’t able to create the same movement that I do when I typically produce the numbers. For example, I produced “thwee” for “three”. I could not correctly produce three because my tongue was not able to make contact with my alveolar ridge. The active forces in normal counting go directly to the correct articulators for producing the sound. The active forces for constrained counting had to go around the pen, which allowed the word to be produced, it just sounded different than the normal
Small target segment: marketed solely to adults and teens with mature dentition and mild cases of malocclusion
It is more basic and more widespread than traditional phonics programs. A primary cause of decoding and spelling problems is with the challenge of judging sounds within words. This is called phonemic awareness. Weak phonemic awareness causes individuals to add, omit, substitute and reverse sounds and letters within words. Many children and adults experience the symptoms of weak phonemic awareness. This causes weakness
Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds in words. It is very important to teach phonemic awareness because it the start of teaching the students how to read. This lesson taught me about all the steps it takes to teach students about phonemic awareness. It’s something that can’t be done in one class. Phonemic awareness has for stages, word, syllable, onset rime, and phoneme. All these steps are crucial for learning how to read. This lesson taught me a lot about phonemic awareness and it’s a lesson I’ll be using in the near future when I begin

The pharynx is a large cavity behind the mouth and between the nasal cavity and larynx. The pharynx serves, as an air and food passage but cannot be used for both purposes at the same time, otherwise choking would result. The air is also warmed and moistened further as it passes through the pharynx. The larynx is a short passage connecting the pharynx to the trachea and contains vocal chords. The larynx has a rigid wall and is composed mainly of muscle and cartilage, which help prevent collapse and obstruction of the airway.

Her phonetic inventory is well developed. She has no troubles creating the age-appropriate speech sounds. The child is just above normal because she can produce more adult-like sounds than her peers. She has control over her articulators and she knows how to manipulate her oral cavity to produce the correct sounds.
Phonemic Awareness is very important part of literacy. Phonemic awareness includes sounds of a word, the breakdown of words into sounds. It includes rhyming and alliteration, isolation, counting words in sentences, syllables and phonemes, blending words, segmenting, and manipulating.

In the partial alphabetic phase individuals pay attention to different letters in a word in order to attempt its pronunciation, usually the first and final letters of a word are focused on, Ehri referred to this as ‘phonetic cue reading’. This is a skill which along with others which shows phonological awareness.
In the example above,the non-speaker may not have recognized phonemes that reside outside of his or
There comes a time in our life when we know what we want to say, but it does not come out the way we thought it would. Such as being worried about reading out loud in class, going up to an employee in a fast food restaurant to order a simple meal, or making a presentation in class can be terrifying for most individuals with an articulation disorder. An articulation disorder consist of having difficulties producing sounds, substituting sounds, leaving out letters in a word, or adding or changing letters in a word. In most cases when individuals have trouble articulating words he/she might have problems with the main articulators which include: the jaw, lips, teeth, tongue, velum, alveolar ridge, and hard/soft palate. These articulators play
These skills are an important core separating normal and disabled readers. According to Hill (2006, p.134), phonemic awareness is a skill that focus’ on the small units of sound that affect meaning in words. For example, the following phoneme has three syllables, /c/, /a/ and /n/. These letters make three different small units of sound that can impact the meaning of words. Seely Flint, Kitson and Lowe (2014, p. 191), note that even the Australian Curriculum recognises the importance of phonemic awareness in the Foundation year, due to the ‘sound and knowledge’ sub-strand. This sub strand recognises syllables, rhymes and sound (phonemes) in spoken language. Rich discussions about topics of interest to children as well as putting attention to the sounds of language can help encourage phonemic awareness as well as improve students vocabulary and comprehension development. It is important to make awareness of phonemes engaging and interesting in preschool and in the early years so children can learn these skills early and become successful
