This book presents cleft palate case studies with phonological interpretation of phonetic transcription supported by video footage. Uncomplicated cases are compared with complex cases which warrant detailed differential diagnosis. The case studies include infants, young children and older children progressing through to teenagers who are considering the possible “speech effects” of orthognathic surgery, and to adults returning to the cleft team with “life-limiting” speech problems.

Intervention approaches at different stages of care include:

• preventative infant intervention
• remedial strategies as children progress from babble to speech with a restricted phonetic repertoire
• therapy for active, non-oral/compensatory speech patterns
• techniques to address speech difficulties associated with hearing loss
• techniques for adaptive therapy in cases of persisting VPD
• therapy goals with adults

Over eight hours of video clips demonstrate specific speech characteristics, instrumental assessments, therapy techniques and child responses to different stimuli.
