Every child with cleft palate presents a unique clinical picture, making careful assessment and clinical reasoning essential for effective intervention. In this installment of the EPIC Pediatric Case Studies series, Trina Becker, MS, CCC-SLP, and Beth Bergstrom, MS, CCC-SLP, guide you through a pediatric case involving cleft palate speech. You'll critically analyze the child's case history, assessment findings, and speech characteristics to identify the underlying etiology and develop a comprehensive clinical profile.
From there, you'll apply evidence-based clinical reasoning to establish treatment priorities and develop an individualized intervention plan that integrates the child's strengths, functional communication needs, family values, current research, and your clinical judgment. This case-based session provides a practical framework for evaluating and treating children with cleft palate speech that you can apply in your own clinical practice.
