A
  • Resonance disorders are common in individuals with a history of cleft lip and palate or other craniofacial anomalies.
  • –Can be due to velopharyngeal dysfunction, or obstruction in vocal tract
  • Velopharyngeal dysfunction can cause a resonance disorder (hypernasality) and also nasal emission of the air
  • –Significant nasal emission can cause other speech characteristics due to lack of adequate oral airflow and air pressure

A
  • Speech requires both airflow and sound.

A
  • Velopharyngeal mislearning is an articulation disorder that includes the substitution of nasal or pharyngeal sounds for oral sounds.
  • –Velopharyneal mislearning esults in an open velopharyngeal valve, causing nasal emission or hypernasality during the production of those speech sounds.
  • –Speech therapy, not surgery, is indicated for velopharyngeal mislearning.

-Differential diagnosis between misarticulations due to mislearning alone versus those due to VPI is critically important.

Q

Velopharyngeal Mislearning

Learned misarticulations can include:

  • __ ___learned due to __ or other structural ____
  • Misarticulations in children without __ ___, causing __ __ __ ___ or phoneme-specific ____
A

Learned misarticulations can include:

  • Compensatory productions learned due to VPI or other structural anomalies
  • Misarticulations in children without structural anomalies, causing phoneme-specific nasal emission or phoneme-specific hypernasality

Q

Velopharyngeal Mislearning

  • Phoneme-specific nasal emission—occurs when the individual …
  • Phoneme-specific hypernasality—occurs when the individual …
A
  • Phoneme-specific nasal emission—occurs when the individual uses a pharyngeal fricative or posterior nasal fricative as a substitution for oral fricatives
  • Phoneme-specific hypernasality—occurs when the individual consistently substitutes a nasal sound for an oral sound (e.g., ŋ/l or ŋ/r) or uses a high tongue position on certain vowels

Q

Velopharyngeal Mislearning

Hearing loss causes abnormal resonance.

  • VP function is learned through …
  • Lack of ___ and ___ ____ affects ability to learn to use the VP valve for speech.
  • Individuals with severe __ ___ or ___ demonstrate abnormal resonance that can be a mixture of ___, ___, and even ____.
A

Hearing loss causes abnormal resonance.

  • VP function is learned through imitation and auditory feedback.
  • Lack of hearing and auditory feedback affects ability to learn to use the VP valve for speech.
  • Individuals with severe hearing impairment or deafness demonstrate abnormal resonance that can be a mixture of hypernasality, hyponasality, and even cul-de-sac resonance.

Q

Summary

  • SLP is responsible for diagnosing probable cause of resonance disorders and VPD.
  • –There is a need to determine abnormal structure versus abnormal function.
  • –Differential diagnosis is important so patient will receive appropriate treatment.
  • Resonance disorders and VPI are not directly treated by SLPs.
  • –Speech therapy is appropriate for compensatory errors due to VPI and placement errors that cause phoneme-specific nasal emission or hypernasality.
