Q

Can cleft be a complicating factor in feeding?

A

yes

26
Q

What should SLP do about feeding with child with cleft palate.

A

collaborate with team

27
Q

What do we know about the development of the baby born with a cleft palate?

A

The Infant with Cleft Palate
• May have fluctuating, conductive hearing loss –
Auditory input may be distorted
– May be less attentive to sound
• The oral and nasal cavities are coupled
– Intraoral air pressure is significantly diminished –
The variety of consonants is diminished
Infant vocalizations may be of shorter duration
• Lingual contacts may be different – Lingua alveolar
– Linguapalatal
• Delayed onset of canonical babbling
• Slower growth in expressive vocabulary

28

A

25 -50%

29
Q

How many kids with cleft palate will require speech therapy in childhood?

A

50 -75%

30
Q

What percentage of kids will require secondary velopharyngeal management?

A

20 -25%

31
Q

Is it reasonable to expect normal speech in the neurologically normal child with a cleft?

A

yes

32
Q

Most children with cleft palate and impaired intelligibility have what?

A

an articulation disorder

33
Q

is it likely that motor speech or phonological disorders occur often in this population?

A

no

34
Q

if present, articulation disorders

A

can and must be treated

35
Q

Is dditional surgery needed before treating articulation disorder?

A

NO

36
Q

Are there things we can do to prevent an artculation disroder?

A

yes, we can always try
Promote longer duration vowels in the infant
Cooing with the baby Long sighs

37
Q

avoid modeling what when trying to prevent and articulation disorder

A

modeling glottal stops, think looooong vowels

38
Q

How do you extinguish maladaptive errors?

A

• Never imitate!
• Counsel parents to identify imitators in the environment
– Advise them to have the imitators stop
• Choose an alternate behavior
• Ignoring is a last resort, but may be needed for well-entrenched behaviors

39
Q

What else can you do to prevent an articulation disorder.

A
Practice oral stops • Work on imitation of sounds
– Have fun!
• Set up back and forth sound making
• Model nose plugging
• Model plugging partner’s nose
– Let baby see that people have fun!
• Try plugging baby’s nose
40
Q

What is percentage of centers with resonance disorder?

A

20-25% in nonsyndromic populations

41
Q

Can resonance disorder be treated with speech therapy?

A

NO

42
Q

Treatment of resonance disorder (Velopharyngeal Dysfunction), how do you treat this?

A

• Surgical
– Palatal re-repair
• Furlow double opposing z-plasty • Radical intravelar veloplasty
– Sphincter pharyngoplasty – Pharyngeal flap
• Prosthetic – Palatal lift
– Pharyngeal extension obturator (speech bulb)

43
Q

how to treat VPD?

A
• Most centers treat after the third birthday
• If articulation skills are adequate
• Various instrumental assessments used
– Imaging
• Videonasopharyngoscopy • Videofluoroscopy
– Non-imaging
• Pressure flow
• Nasometry
• Find out what tests are used.
• Can you assist with prep?
44
Q

Is a true language disorder common with cleft palate?

A

no, – but May be co-morbid condition

45
Q

IsTreatment of language disorder different because of the cleft

A

no

46
Q

Is a voice disorder the same as a resonance disorder?

A

NO, but it Can be a co-morbid condition of VPD – Reassessed after treatment of VPD

47
Q

why might someone with cleft palate have a voice disorder?

A

May result from the same causes seen in the general pediatric population

48
Q

Evaluation in the first year of life?

A

• Get a release signed for contact with the treating cleft palate team
• Make contact with the team after first visit – Introduce yourself
– Fax/mail report
– Discuss concerns, plan
• Obtain medical, family, and social history
– Ear health and hearing
• Remind parents to request ear check with each office
visit
– Learn about possible familial trends
– Learn about additional complicating factors
• Evaluate infant development
– Various instruments available
– MacArthur-Bates Communciative Development Inventory 8-30 months
– Assess vowel and consonant inventory
• Evaluate parental knowledge and skills for language stimulation
– Observe interaction with the baby – Observe imitative attempts
– Observe reading attempts
– Note amount of time in front of TV

49
Q

To Treat or Not to Treat? from first year of life eval?

A
• Before and after the first birthday
– Attention
• Is a hearing test needed?
– Interaction
• Is a hearing test needed, or another exam?

• Teach the parent to be the teacher
– Vowel and consonant inventory • Teaching and extinguishing
– Hearing!

Q

How to test? Obligatory vs. Maladaptive

A

Velopharyngeal:
Do articulation testing with the nose plugged and unplugged
Fistula:
Test articulation with the fistula plugged and unplugged
Dental:
Diagnostic therapy to see if changing tongue placement alters distortion

61
Q

To Treat or Not to Treat: Age 2 and beyond

A

Intelligibility: Treat:
– If impairment is significant
– If maladaptive errors are present
• Language:
– Treat if significant deficits are present
– Can treat in conjunction with intelligibility
• Resonance: Differentiate articulation errors from true resonance disorder
– You can treat articulation, but not resonance
