In 1973, Morris reviewed 11 years' worth of published reports on the success of primary cleft palate surgery. The author drew the conclusion, after pooling all types of clefts and several types of surgical approaches, that palate repairs produced good speech results in roughly 75% of the cases. Now, more than 40 years later, it is much more common to see reported success rates of 85% to 90% and sometimes even higher. This improvement should mean that SLPs in schools and other nonmedical seings are now encountering far fewer children with poor surgical outcomes.
This was exactly the experience of the senior author of this book after the advent of the Furlow double-reversing Z-plasty. The success rate of primary palatal closures in the Craniofacial Center of the University of California, San Francisco, went up to 91%. However, this number was based solely on the perceptual judgments of one SLP.
Guidelines for Judging the Results of Palatal Surgery
Usually SLPs in schools or other nonmedical seings are not the first to judge the result of palatal surgery because most surgery takes place in infancy. However, if the child has not been treated within a team seing, it is possible that no professional assessment (meaning SLP assessment) has been made of the speech outcome of a palate repaired years before the child begins preschool or kindergarten. In other words, entry into the educational system may be the first opportunity to assess the child's speech. Thus, the school SLP is the first to document the outcome.
The initial step in speech assessment is to listen to what the parents have to say about the child's speech. When you do your first screening of the child, your ears will tell you whether what you hear is normal for his or her age level. If the answer is negative, then additional assessment will be required, as described in Chapter 8. That chapter provides highly detailed guidelines on the assessment and diagnosis of an inadequately functioning velopharyngeal system and on deciding whether this problem can be treated through speech therapy or through further physical management. As stressed in Chapter 8, it is wise for the SLP to document his or her perceptions of the child's postoperative (or

postprosthetic) speech result by video recording, combined with one or more of the instrument-based evaluations discussed in Chapter 9. Secondary surgical procedures are discussed in Chapter 10.

Prosthetic Treatment of Clefts
If for some reason a cleft palate cannot be completely closed by surgery, prosthodontists can fabricate an obturator that consists of a palatal plate to cover the palatal defect, with or without a “speech bulb” (Fig. 3-9) designed to provide a seal between the nose and the mouth during speech. If necessary, the obturator can also carry anterior dental units to replace missing teeth. Successful use of a speech bulb requires adequate movement of the posterior and lateral pharyngeal walls to contact the bulb during speech. Obturators can also be used to obtain velopharyngeal closure when an unsuccessfully repaired velum cannot reach the posterior pharyngeal wall. In addition, prosthetic treatment for clefts includes (1) palatal lifts (Fig. 3-10) designed to raise the velum into position to facilitate velopharyngeal closure and (2) temporary use of obturators or lifts as training devices to increase the potential for closure. These treatment approaches are discussed in Chapter 10.

Although geing used to a speech bulb may require the child to make several visits to the prosthodontist and to the SLP, occasionally a well­fied prosthetic device can instantly convert a speaker from nasal to oral (if somewhat hyponasal) speech. The speech bulb will not eliminate maladaptive compensatory articulations if these are present, but it will prevent loss of air through the nose. This can be of significant diagnostic help to the SLP; if the child can produce good pressure consonants with the device in place, then the child can learn what those consonants feel like and sound like as he or she produces them. After extensive practice with the device in place, can the child make the same sounds when the device is removed? This change in speech behavior has been reported occasionally in the clinical literature and is assumed to be the result of

the child's receiving the appropriate auditory and tactile feedback from the high pressure consonants being produced with oral (instead of nasal) airflow. We can envision the child realizing (perhaps unconsciously), “So this is what this is supposed to sound like! Hey, I can do this!”

Summary for Speech-Language Pathologists
Information on surgical and prosthetic approaches to the physical management of clefts and noncleft VPI is included in this book because SLPs who provide therapy for these children may be mystified by some of what they learn about the child's treatment history or worried that they do not understand enough about a proposed treatment. Details of a specific procedure can be found both in the Web-based material accompanying this book and on the Internet. (But remember that the Internet is not peer reviewed.) In addition, SLPs are strongly urged to make direct contact with the treating surgeon or the cleft palate or craniofacial team. Beer flow of information between the SLP and the team translates to beer care of the child.
