Q

In regards to developmental aspects in children with cleft, what are early phonological processes (birth to 3)?

(3)

A
  • Deletion of final consonant
  • Syllable reduction
  • Backing
2
Q

In regards to developmental aspects in children with cleft, what should we know about articulation/phonology? (birth to 3)?

(1+6)

A

Babies with cleft palate

  • vocalize less
  • Start babbling later
  • Restricted and fewer consonants
  • More glottal productions
  • Delayed lexicon with words not effected by cleft earlier to develop
  • Distorted feedback
    - limited communication opportunities - limited feedback (env + self) - limits practice

Q

In regards to developmental aspects in children with cleft, what do we need to know about language (birth to 3)?

(2)

A
  • Development is shown to be delayed but often catches up with age
  • Degree of impairment varies but can be associated with receptive, expressive, reading, or learning disorders
4
Q

In regards to developmental aspects in children with cleft, what do we need to know about articulation (3 - 5 years)?

(5)

A
  • Nasal distortions (oral consonants more nasal)
  • Nasal air emission (NAE)
    • Audible vs. inaudible
  • Substitutions
  • Omissions
  • Compensatory Articulation patterns
5
Q

What do SLPs assess and monitor in children with cleft?

4

A
  • Monitor early milestones (babbling and phonemic repertoire)
  • Work on language comprehension and build play skills (social skill development)
  • Assess oromotor/speech mechanism
    • Differentiate structural problems vs. speech problems
6
Q

A

often have concerns with school adjustment

7
Q

As SLPs, what does this mean for children with cleft?

7

A
  • Eliminate stigma
  • Research needed in areas to improve surgery to:
    • Improve appearance (symmetry, reduce scarring, bring tissue to normal positioning)
    • Improve speech
  • Therapy
    • Make sure you know what you’re doing!!
    • No whistles, blow pops, balloons, etc. Just therapy!
8
Q

What is it important to know about developmental aspects of children with cleft?

(2+7)

A
  • This is not a homogeneous population
  • Number of factors that effect every area of development, including:
    • Speech
    • Hearing (OM)
    • Facial differences
    • Range of severity
    • Syndromes
