What are those with a cleft palate more likely to develop (in regards to hearing)?

A

Chronic otis media

151
Q

What developmental factors occur with motivation?

Need and desire to learn skills “motivation to talk”

Cleft tend to revert to gestures because difficulty with speech production

153
Q

What developmental factors occur with A and P?

A

Vocal tract, processes (respiration, phonation, resonance, artic), neuro function

154

What language and developmental learning deficits do you see?

A
  • Early deficits in cognitive development
  • Prelanguage skills
  • Lower expressive language
  • Common in syndromes
155
Q

What phonological/articulation development deficits might you see?

A
  • Disrupted tactile-kinesthetic-auditory feedback loop
  • Less vocalization
  • Predominant nasals for orals; glottals for plosives
  • Habitual compensatory productions
  • Age of palate repair
  • Apraxia co-occurrence
156
Q

What are some family psychosocial aspects of cleft?

A
  • Initial shock and adjustment

- Cleft as chronic medical condition

157
Q

What are some psychosocial school aspects of cleft?

A
  • Knowledge and expectation of teachers
  • Learning ability and performance
  • Social interaction
  • Teasing
  • Self-perception
158
Q

What are some psychosocial society aspects of cleft?

A
  • Physical attractiveness
  • Speech quality
  • Hearing impairment
  • Stigma
  • Behavioral issues
159
Q

What causes hypernasality?

A

Coupling of oral and nasal cavities during non-nasal oral sounds

-“muffled” due to damping effect (sound absorption) through turbinates

160
Q

What causes hyponasality?

A

Reduced nasal resonance of nasal sounds due to blockage “stuffed up”

161
Q

What is/causes Cul-De-Sac resonance?

A

Structural obstruction, muffled, “potato-in- mouth”

162
Q

What are mixed resonance disorders?

A

Combo on different sounds; common in apraxia

163
Q

What is nasal air emission?

A

“rustle” due to VP leak or fistula on plosives, fricatives, and affricates

164
Q

What is a nasal grimace?

A

Muscle contraction above nasal bridge in effort to achieve VP closure

165
Q

What weak or omitted consonants a result of?

A

Reduced air pressure in oral cavity.

166
Q

What causes short utterance length?

A

Frequent replacing of air pressure

167
Q

What causes altered rate and duration?

A

Longer time for utterances, longer voice onset time (VOT)

168
Q

What are some compensatory articulatory strategies?

A
  • Middorsum palatal stop
  • Backing
  • Velar fricative
  • Oral consonant nasalization
  • Vowel nasalization
  • Nasal snort
  • Nasal sniff
  • Pharyngeal
  • Posterior nasal fricative
  • Glottal stop
  • /h/ for voiceless plosives
  • Breathiness
169
Q

How might dysphonia present in an individual with a cleft?

A
  • Breathy
  • Hypernasal
  • Hoarse
  • Low intensity
  • Glottal fry
  • Hyperfunctional
  • Vocal fold nodules
170
Q

What are factors that Impact VPI and Speech?

A
  • Size of VP opening
  • Inconsistency of VP closure
  • Abnormal artic
  • Abnormal phonation
171
Q

What are causes of VPD related to the anatomy - structure of VPInsufficiency?

A
  • Cleft Palate
  • Short velum
  • Deep pharynx (cranial base anomalies)
  • Adenoid atrophy, irregularity, or adenoidectomy
  • Hypertrophic tonsils or tonsillectomy (rare)
  • Teeth malocclusion (Class III)
  • Oral cavity tumor
172
Q

What are causes of VPD related to phyiolofy - movement of VPIncompetence?

A

-Abnormal muscle insertion
