Facial/cleft Flashcards
true or false: do not worry about therapy until after the surgical repair of the palate
false
true or false: treatment does not need to begin until palatal surgery
false
true or false: stops cannot be produced before palatal surgery
false
true or false: glottal stops always persist because of VPI
false, can be a learned compensatory error
true or false: post surgery nasal substitutions always indicate VPI
false
true or false: a child with cleft palate cannot be expected to have perfectly normal speech
false
approximately what percentage of children with cleft will need speech therapy?
25-50%
according to Golding-Kushner (2001), when should children with cleft palate be evaluated for speech + language?
by at least 8 months if not sooner
what are general early intervention principles that we should consider for the cleft population?
- increase frequency + diversity of vocal development
- increase communicative opportunities
in terms of cleft, how can we increase frequency and diversity of vocal development
imitate
reinforce oral stops
encourage CV syllables that babies can easily produce
in terms of cleft, how can we increase communicative opportunities
EMT
Modeling
Recasting
parent coaching
what are two speech behaviors of particular concern that we want to address if observed (cleft)?
glottal stops
-address early or ASAP
phonemic specific nasal emission
why do we want to address glottal stopping in clients with cleft ASAP?
it’s easier to eliminate if treated earlier
what are the three types of VPI?
velopharyngeal mislearning
velopharnygeal insufficiency
velopharyngeal incompetency
what is VP mislearning
learned
compensatory errors
can treat with speech therapy
what is VP insufficiency
structural/anatomy
surgery
