you repeat the [s] sound 10 times” or “Let's place this in front of your mouth to make sure air escapes only from your mouth when you repeat the [s] sound 10 times.” The See-Scape can also be used to teach control over oral versus nasal airflow by having the child intentionally make paired oral versus nasal productions (e.g., 10 sets of [s]-[
]) with the olive placed either in a nostril or in front of the mouth). This intentional contrast can also be taught using simple oral versus nasal blowing; for example, “Let's blow air through our mouth and then through our nose” (“silly blowing”). Video 12-1
illustrates use of the See-Scape to
monitor for intentional turbulent nasal fricatives.
The See-Scape is available through Pro-Ed (www.proedinc.com). You can also purchase coiled
-inch diameter polyethylene tubing from stores such as Home Depot and cut it into 18-inch lengths. Nose clamps are standard material used in respiratory testing and spirometry in medical seings. So if you are a hospital or team speech language pathologist, these devices likely are available in house.

Therapy for Cleft-Related Speech Errors
Objectives
The therapy objectives (general outcome goals) for the treatable cleft palate speech errors are as follows:
For Compensatory Articulations
1. Teach new motor paerns to replace and eliminate nonoral CAs (doing so may improve VP closure).
2. Teach correct oral target place and establish oral pressure buildup and release in that place using motor-phonetic therapy.
3. Bring backed oral articulations forward; modify or eliminate oral backing paerns.
For Learned Nasal Emission Problems
1. Teach and establish oral airflow for speech and oral pressure buildup.
2. Eliminate intentional nasal direction and pathway of speech airflow.
For Ingressive Airflow Problems
1. Verify adequate VP closure; some youngsters with ingressive airflow have physically based VPI or VPD (e.g., undiagnosed submucous cleft palate).
2. Establish egressive or pulmonic airflow for affected target sounds.
As mentioned earlier, with some youngsters, there may be an additional diagnostic therapy goal: to evaluate speech adequacy of the physical repair. This is particularly pertinent in youngsters who present with nonoral CAs, few to no oral pressure consonants, and some degree of hypernasality with or without audible nasal emission. With this subset of youngsters, the determination of VP adequacy can be made

more reliably by observing their response (and that of the VP mechanism) to speech therapy. Speech therapy to modify aberrant, nonoral placements can be effective even if more surgery is needed to correct a fistula or VP insufficiency. Many oronasal fistulas do not interfere with placement therapy, but when they do, an obturator appliance can be constructed, provided it is not at odds with dental eruption and shedding of teeth or with ongoing orthodontic treatment (e.g., maxillary expansion).
A multimodality teaching approach (auditory, visual, tactile­kinesthetic) with the focus on oral placements and airflow is essential to cleft palate speech therapy (auditory bombardment alone does not work). This is true whether the task is to eliminate CAs, modify backed oral productions, or treat learned nasal emission or ingressive airflow. In the following pages, we first address treatment of nonoral compensatory errors (targets realized as substitutions and coproductions) and backed oral productions in which the key error is in place of production. We then address treatment or the “undoing” of learned nasal emission errors and paerns in which the key error is direction of airflow.
Treatment Components
Regardless of the specific types of errors the child presents, certain treatment components can be applied to all therapy for eliminating nonoral CAs and backed oral productions. They include the following:
• Establish a “place map” for consonants.
• Select appropriate (initial) treatment targets.
• Get the target sound(s) into the speech sound inventory.
• Teach correct oral target versus error sound contrasts.
• Establish reliable self-monitoring for carryover and generalization. The ultimate goal is to establish accurate sound production and
usage. Children vary in the amount and detail of phonetic placement and discrimination teaching they need to produce a sound. Some youngsters may need all the steps and techniques discussed in this chapter; others will not. We expect that you will approach this material as you would approach any multiple-choice situation: select and use whatever works for you and the child. As so aptly stated by Bleile (2004, p. 356), “Phonetic placement and shaping techniques are guidelines
463

rather than rigid procedures. The clinician should pick and choose among treatment techniques, keeping what works, discarding what does not, and (most often), modifying a technique to beer suit the clinician's style and client's needs.”
1. Establish a “Place Map” for Consonants
An example of the place map for high pressure consonants is shown in
Figure 12-5 (reproduced in color on the inside front cover of this book). It
is a lateral diagram of the speech mechanism that includes all the high pressure consonants and can be color coded for place of production categories: yellow for labials (bilabials and labiodentals), green for interdentals, red for alveolars (tip and blade), blue for palatals, and black for back velars. The gloal fricative /h/ (in pink) also has been included because of the use of /h/ and whispered speech in breaking up gloal stop paerns. Low pressure consonants /l, r/ and the nasal /n/ can also be pictured on the place map for work on articulatory backing paerns, such as backed to velar place as in nasal replacement of /n/ with [
], /l/ with [ ].

Anterior, middle, and posterior regions of the tongue dorsum are
shown in Figure 12-6 (reproduced in color on the inside back cover of this book).

Color coding sounds according to place of production is helpful
because puing the colors together shows the child where the contact points (articulatory placements) and corresponding pressure buildup points are for making the sounds. For example, the child learns that a specific color always means, “I use both lips (yellow to yellow) for this sound” and that another color or colors means “I use the front of my tongue to touch the bumps behind my top teeth for this sound” (red to red), and so forth. This conceptual learning can then be applied to tactile cueing in phonetic placement teaching. For example, in teaching placement for /k/, you can review “black-to-black” and then stimulate the articulator points (using a tongue blade) while giving instructions, such as “Get the back of your tongue, this back part, up to the back of your mouth—here in the back, top part of your palate.”

To recap, use a tongue blade to tactilely identify the target areas. This
helps the child with target place learning. Divide up the oral cavity into different (color-coded) areas that you then can label “back of the tongue,” “front of the tongue,” “middle of the tongue,” “back of the palate,” “lips,” and so forth. This facilitates the placement instructions. Phonetic placement teaching for back velar /k/ is demonstrated in Video 12-2
. Video 12-3 shows phonetic placement teaching for tip alveolar /t/ using homorganic /l/ and /n/, which the child produces well, to facilitate /t/ placement.
2. Select Appropriate (Initial) Treatment Targets
In general, in deciding where you want to start treatment, you want to target (1) compensatory errors that have the greatest impact on speech understandability and acceptability even if this means going out of developmental sequence and (2) sounds on which the child will most quickly show improvement so the child is motivated to continue. Sometimes, however, these two factors may be at odds with each other. It may be appropriate, for example, to deviate from maturational norms and work on “s” with a 3-year-old child who is using rampant gloal stops for all high pressure consonant targets. If, however, the “s” proves too difficult, you may need first to treat “f” or perhaps “sh.”
The “th” is rarely affected by compensatory substitution but if it is, it too would be a good alternate starter sound.
Additional guidelines for target selection include the following:
Stimulability. Select stimulable sounds (i.e., sounds the youngster can make in some contexts).
Visibility. Start with the more visible targets.
Place of production. Teach anterior sounds first (remember, children with clefts tend to avoid alveolar place).
Voicing. Teach voiceless targets before voiced, especially with gloal stops to break up the paern of gloal stopping, or use whispered productions and intrusive /h/.
Manner of production. In establishing placement for oral pressure targets, fricatives generally are easier than stops, especially for children who replace many oral targets with gloal stops.
466

Developmental schedule. Within a place category or a manner class, consider the normal acquisition sequence (e.g., “p” before “t” before “k”). In addition, feel free to deviate from that schedule as intelligibility/understandability issues may warrant.
Some youngsters may do beer starting with voiced targets that require less oral pressure and have a shorter voice onset time, which may lessen the potential for producing an intrusive gloal stop as in “pea” [pʔi] or a coproduced gloal stop as in “pea”
.
3. Get the Target Sounds Into the Speech Sound Inventory
When a sound is not in the inventory (not stimulable in any context), the first order of business after you have made your target sound selection is to teach the child how to produce the target sound in “isolation” and then to practice it in structured drill until it is a stable, automatized production. This enters the sound into the inventory; it ensures that the youngster can make the target sound reliably. For nonoral CAs, this requires new (correct) place learning, acquiring a new motor paern and facilitating correct manner and voicing associated with the new oral target. With youngsters who have no obligatory nasal airflow problems, the new target can now be normally produced. For those who have obligatory nasal emission (e.g., caused by fistulas or persisting VP insufficiency), the sound may be distorted by nasal air emission and weak oral pressure but will at least be orally placed. For learned nasal emission errors, geing the sound into the inventory requires learning oral direction of airflow for the target and elimination of the learned habit of nasal direction of the airflow.
Isolated production is possible with fricatives (and nasals, glides, liquids), but achieving a truly isolated production with stops and affricates is not possible; for these plosives, “isolated” target production becomes a consonant-vowel (CV) syllable, even when whispered or produced using strong aspiration as in “ph,” “bh,” or “th.”
Once the child can produce the target in isolation, you are ready to
move on to production in syllable contexts, and traditional articulation
467

https://t.me/med1917
therapy (or phonological therapy approaches, if necessary) can be applied. For most youngsters who have compensatory substitutions that are consistent and frequent, traditional articulation therapy is appropriate and effective. That is, once the target sound production is stabilized in “isolation,” a contextual hierarchy can be followed progressing from target sound in syllables to words, to structured phrases, to sentences, and to carry over into spontaneous speech.
4. Teach Correct Oral Target Versus Error Sound Contrasts
The lateral diagram can be used to visually represent and explain to the child (and parents) the compensatory placements (e.g., gloal and pharyngeal) that you want to change or eliminate. These placements can be visually compared to the desired articulatory valving points or placements. The place map previously described provides a visual representation of the target place and allows you to contrast this with the faulty place or airflow direction and pathway. The desired place can be color coded or highlighted, and the faulty place can be “Xed out,” as shown in Figure 12-7, in which the pharyngeal stop is contrasted with the target velar stop /k/.
A blank lateral diagram has been included as Appendix 12A for your use in this therapy. It is also useful in explaining velopharyngeal closure, secondary surgical procedures, airway problems, tonsil and adenoid interactions with closure, and so forth to parents and patients.

pharyngeal stop “throat sound.”
The place map can also be used to visually enhance auditory discrimination training, in which the clinician produces the contrasting pair of target versus error sounds. For example, the child is instructed, “Tell me whether I am making this sound in my mouth or in my throat.” You can use schematic picture contrasts and pair them with the production contrasts. Also, keep in mind multimodality teaching. In the production, it is important to instruct the child to watch where and how the sound is made and listen to how the production sounds, as well as to feel how the sound is made. It is important that the child understands these features of both the desired target and the error production, so all elements of the placement and airflow contrasts are fully learned.
Understanding these production contrasts facilitates intrinsic feedback and self-monitoring and correction, and ultimately benefits carryover and generalization.
Younger as well as older children can benefit from lateral diagram illustrations. For example, if the child is using gloal stop for /b/:
• Show the child where the /b/ should be made (pointing to both the diagram and your lips).
469
t.me/Dr_Mouayyad_AlbtousH
https://t.me/med1917
• Demonstrate how it should be made (bringing both lips together to stop the airflow).
Point to the place of the error substitution (the gloal stop) on the diagram and on your lower neck and the child's lower neck.
• Then X out that gloal place on the diagram.
Admiedly, producing the error sound for contrasts requires practice on your part as the clinician, and some compensatory productions are easier to produce than others. Our advice is to work at it and do the best you can.
5. Establish Reliable Self-Monitoring
Ideally, we would like our patients to be able to do a production task in which they intentionally produce the differences between gloal (or pharyngeal) and oral placements (or oral versus nasal airflow) so that they can build internal targets for self-monitoring. As we all know, most youngsters cannot intentionally make their error sounds, especially once they have learned the correct target production. However, we want them able to benefit from feedback and to self-monitor for their own error versus correct target production. To do this, they will need to draw on the tactile, kinesthetic, and auditory understanding of target versus error differences learned early in therapy during the acquisition of new motor paerns for oral targets and elimination of compensatory placements. Practice in self-monitoring is critical to building internal targets that will serve the speaker reliably in conversational and other connected speech. Therefore, it should be an integral part of therapy, starting at the syllable production level and proceeding through connected speech practice. If the child's only monitor is the speech therapist,
the child will not be able to internalize the sound contrasts in order to self­monitor and self-correct.
Treating Nonoral Compensatory Articulations
We are now ready to consider specific therapy procedures and techniques for eliminating nonoral CAs and replacing them with correct oral targets. Remember that CAs are errors in place of production and are, for the most part, nonoral articulations that use pharyngeal and gloal articulatory valving.
