sentences
zoo passage (no nasals)
oral reading
picture description

Question 2

Protocol for assessment of cleft palate speech errors

Answer 2

“Intelligent People (SC Men) Read Nightly Every Pattern”

1. Rate overall Intelligibility
2. document phonetic inventory
   inventory size
   comparison for dev. norms
   maladaptive compensatory misartic.
3. document resonance
4. document nasal air emissions
5. classify errors
6. describe cleft palate errors

Question 3

T/F: place of articulation, compensatory place, will always be in front of defect vs. regular artic errors

Answer 3

False: back

Question 4

What are the 4 types of speech deviations associated with cleft palate speech?

Answer 4

RAAA

Resonance - hypernasality
Airflow- nasal air emissions
Air pressure - trouble valving/weak pressures
Articulation - backing, distorted consonants

Question 5

What are 3 sources of NAE?

Answer 5

obligatory - true VP closure problem
obligatory - fistula
learned - PSNE

Question 6

T/F: Compensatory misarticulation can persist after a cleft is repaired and can be a source of VPI (vp inadequacy)

Answer 6

FALSE: can be a source of VP incompetency
