Treating speech disorders related to cleft palate and velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) requires selecting appropriate management procedures and strategies, including recognizing which speech errors can and cannot be remediated through speech therapy. In this course, the second of two on the assessment and treatment of cleft palate, Kerry Callahan-Mandulak, PhD, CCC-SLP, and Barbara Moore, EdD, CCC-SLP, BCS-SL, focus on treatment for children with repaired cleft palate.
Kerry and Barbara review the terminology used to describe speech and resonance patterns in cleft palate and VPD, and explain the SLP's role as a key participant on the cleft/craniofacial team, including how assessment outcomes influence overall management. You'll learn how to apply evidence-based practice in planning, selecting, and documenting treatment goals and objectives, which activities target specific speech errors related to cleft palate, and how to administer that treatment.
