Step 1: Determine how your values compare to the normals
Step 2: Is it acidosis (pH<7.4), or alkalosis (pH>7.4)?
Step 3: ROME: Respiratory Opposite, Metabolic Equal. If pH and CO2 (or HCO3) move in opposite directions, it’s a respiratory problem, if pH and HCO3 (or CO2) move in the same direction, it’s a metabolic problem.
Step 4: If both pCO2 and HCO3 values changed then it’s compensated, if only one changed it’s uncompensated.

Phonological processes are patterns of sound errors that typically developing children use to simplify speech as they are learning to talk. A phonological disorder occurs when phonological processes persist beyond the age when most typically developing children have stopped using them or when the processes used are much different than what would be expected.
Below I’ve included a link to download my Phonological Processes Chart which lists common phonological processes and an approximate age at which children should no longer be using them.

Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is always due to injury to the brain-most commonly from a stroke, particularly in older individuals. But brain injuries resulting in aphasia may also arise from head trauma, from brain tumors, or from infections.

This chart provide terminology that you can used to describe the color and consistency, or wound drainage.

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder. Children with CAS have problems saying sounds, syllables, and words. This is not because of muscle weakness or paralysis. The brain has problems planning to move the body parts (e.g., lips, jaw, tongue) needed for speech. The child knows what he or she wants to say, but his/her brain has difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words.
