association with certain target sounds or phonetic contexts.
• Nasal emission heard sporadically on some or all pressure consonants may prove remediable by therapy, especially if it has a learned basis. This needs to be verified with trial diagnostic therapy to determine whether the patient can eliminate it. Referral for instrumental assessment and possible physical management of the VP mechanism is indicated if a short period of trial therapy is not successful.
Weak High Pressure Consonants (Oral Pressure Problem)
1. Are high pressure consonants (stops, fricatives, affricates) in the
inventory produced with weak oral pressures?
• This tends to be easier to hear on stops and affricates than on fricatives because fricatives are continuants and normally require lower oral pressures than stops and affricates.
• This suggests a physically based VP closure problem.
• Weak oral pressures are always evident when nasal emission and continuous/pervasive hypernasality are heard in the same speaker. Their combined presence provides unequivocal evidence of physically based VP inadequacy.

2. Is there reduced vocal loudness?
• Reduced oral (supragloal) pressures associated with physically inadequate VP closure affect subgloal pressure; reduced subgloal pressure results in reduced vocal intensity.
Nonoral Compensatory Articulations Assessment
In listening for nonoral compensatory articulations (CAs), remember their cardinal features: They are learned errors, most often in place of production. As a group, they are characterized as backed articulations, predominantly backed to the pharynx and glois. There are, however, a few exceptions. CAs are learned articulatory postures that often persist even after successful physical management of the VP closure mechanism. In other words, what was learned when the VP system was not capable of closure persists after adequate closure is made possible.
Diagnostic questions and possible answers:
1. Are CAs present?
• At this first level of analysis, this is a binary decision: yes or no.
2. If the answer is “yes,” ask the following sequenced assessment
questions:
• What types of CAs are present? This draws upon the clinician's perceptual skills and experience in hearing and transcribing these types of errors.
— List the types observed.

— Be careful not to mistake a gloal stop for a
consonant omission.
— Be careful not to mistake a pharyngeal fricative for a
lateralized sibilant.
• How are these compensatory articulation types used or revealed?
— Do they occur as substitutions, as coproductions, or
both?
— Are paerns consistent? For example, are voiced
stops always replaced by gloal stops? Are all oral fricatives replaced by pharyngeal fricatives, or is this paern limited to sibilants or sibilants plus affricates?
— Answers to these questions will guide you in
treatment planning.
Too often, the notation that compensatory articulations are used and the types observed is the only information provided in the team report. Although this information is of some use diagnostically, it is of minimal use for planning speech remediation. Conversely, if a nonspecialist clinician is making a referral to a team, this is an initial body of information that should be useful to the team SLP. To make an accurate and reliable diagnosis and to plan appropriate treatment, more in-depth assessment and analysis is usually necessary. Often this can be done collaboratively by the team SLP and the community- or school-based SLP.

• Are persisting nonoral CAs causing velopharyngeal inadequacy (VPI)?
— You want to identify VPI that is caused by (rather
than the cause of) pharyngeal and gloal CAs. Remember, a velopharyngeal mechanism that is fully capable of closure may be bypassed if the speaker substitutes CAs such as gloal stops and pharyngeal fricatives for oral consonants. Rampant gloal stop substitutions and many pharyngeal fricative substitutions in a speaker who is also hypernasal should alert you to this possibility. If gloal or pharyngeal CAs, or both, are suspected to be having this adverse effect on VP closure, it is important to document any normal pressure consonant productions and in what contexts they occur.
— Habitual use of gloal or pharyngeal articulations as
a possible cause of VPI is best revealed through imaging studies such as videofluoroscopy and videonasendoscopy (Henningsson and Isberg, 1986,
1991). In such cases, if the speaker has some normal
oral placements, an imaging study will show that the VP port closes with normal, orally placed pressure consonant articulations but stays open, or may even open more, during gloal stop and pharyngeal fricative articulations.
— When compensatory articulations are the cause of
velopharyngeal inadequacy, speech therapy to
315

replace the gloal and pharyngeal articulations with normal oral targets should correspondingly improve or normalize velopharyngeal closure.
Backed Oral Productions Assessment
Diagnostic questions and possible answers:
1. Are backed or retracted oral articulations present?
• At this first level of analysis, this is a binary decision: yes or no.
2. If the answer is “yes,” what types are present?
• List types (e.g., /t, d/ mid-dorsum palatal stop; /s, z/ mid-dorsum palatal fricative; tip alveolars /t/ or /d/ or /n/ or /l/ are velarized; /k/ or /ɡ/ are backed but not to pharyngeal place).
The arrow () means “becomes” or “is replaced by.”
Although some speakers with repaired cleft palate (with or without cleft lip) may present with backed oral production on one or two sounds, be alert to more extensive articulatory backing that may affect many or most intraoral targets and may also coexist with the nonoral compensatory articulations. This information will help you in treatment planning because a major focus will be on bringing backed articulations forward and not just on specific sound correction.
Adaptive Oral Misarticulations Assessment
Adaptive oral misarticulations are differentiated from CAs because they have a current (existing) physical cause and are thus obligatory. The most commonly encountered examples are sibilants and affricates
316
t.me/Dr_Mouayyad_AlbtousH
https://t.me/medicina_free
adversely affected by dental and occlusal deviations. For example, ectopic teeth in the anterior hard palate can lead to backed /s/ production that causes the sound to be produced as a palatal or even velar fricative. Other examples are provided in Chapter 7. Adaptive oral misarticulations may also be etiologically based in motor control problems as seen in the dysarthrias.
Assessing Effects of Dental Deviations on Speech
Diagnostic questions:
1. Are there missing teeth?
• Missing anterior teeth can encourage frontal lisping.
• Missing buccal teeth can encourage lateralization of sibilants.
2. Are there rotated, misaligned, or ectopic teeth in the maxilla?
• Any of these can cause distortion of sibilants and affricates.
• In severe cases (e.g., several rotated teeth) tongue placement for /s, z/ can be palatalized and for /t, d, n, l/ can be backed (i.e., the tongue tip or blade contacts a point on the hard palate that is more posterior than normal).
3. Are there diastemas?
• Diastemas are spaces between teeth, especially the maxillary incisors. They are normal during the mixed dentition stage and therefore transient. Do not
317
t.me/Dr_Mouayyad_AlbtousH
https://t.me/medicina_free
be quick to aribute diffuse production of sibilants to diastemas.
Assessing Effects of Occlusal (Dental Arch Form) Deviations on Speech
Diagnostic questions:
1. Is there maxillary collapse resulting in crossbite?
• Crossbite (unilateral or bilateral) can, but does not necessarily, contribute to lateralization or other distortion of sibilants.
2. Is there a protrusive premaxilla? This is found in true class II
malocclusions, but may also be seen in “pseudo-class II” in which only the premaxilla, rather than the entire maxilla, is protruded. This can lead to:
• Production of bilabials with the lower lip articulating with the upper teeth rather than the lower lip meeting the upper lip. This results in “dentalized” bilabials
• Backed production of tip-alveolars /t, d, n, l/
• Diffuse sibilant productions
3. Is there a retrusive maxilla? (This is most often seen in skeletal class
III malocclusions.) Or a retrusive premaxilla? (This is a “pseudo-class III” malocclusion, so-labeled because it is only the premaxilla that is retropositioned, not the entire maxilla.) Potential effects on speech include:
318
t.me/Dr_Mouayyad_AlbtousH
https://t.me/medicina_free
• Interference with labiodentals, specifically “inverted” placement for /f, v/ (lower teeth articulate against upper lip)
• Labiodental contact, instead of bilabial contact, for /p, b, m, w/ (again with lower teeth articulating against upper lip)
• Interference with tip alveolars because the tongue has to “reach back” to accomplish correct placement. (Or, the tongue may just “not care” and protrude anteriorly on these consonants.)
Assessing the Effects of Upper Lip Structural Deviations on Speech
Diagnostic questions:
1. Is the upper lip deficient in length?
• A short upper lip, much like an upper lip that is positioned too far posteriorly (as in a severe class III malocclusion), may not make consistent contact with the lower lip for intended bilabial productions.
2. Is the repaired lip tight and immobile, as a result of excessive
scarring and abnormal muscle alignment?
• Production of /w/ (and some vowels) may be adversely affected by the reduced ability to round the lips.
319
t.me/Dr_Mouayyad_AlbtousH
https://t.me/medicina_free
• In some rare cases, scar tissue may be so excessive that the lip is actually overly long (rather than foreshortened), in addition to being immobile. In these cases, the speaker may not be able to avoid bilabial contact (i.e., bilabial fricatives) for what would otherwise be labiodental articulations.
Developmental Articulation and Phonological Errors
Although developmental articulation errors and phonological processes are not the focus of this chapter or text, a brief mention is in order. The team SLP should assess for these types of errors and paerns or refer for more comprehensive assessment, as is the protocol for any speech assessment with preschool and early school-age children.

Diagnostic Outcomes: Case Examples
The following scenarios are presented as instructive examples of common speech diagnoses in speakers with cleft palate. For obvious reasons, we have not included the many children with repaired cleft palate who have normal speech and those who have predominantly developmental disorders. Also, there will be some children who present with small phonetic inventories, gloal stops, and hypernasal resonance. Such children require diagnostic therapy to (1) explore what improvement can be brought about in their speech and (2) determine whether physical management is necessary. To make the information presented in this chapter clinically and developmentally meaningful and to provide continuity between chapters, the material is presented in three age groups: baby or toddler, preschool, and school-age.
As you read this material, be aware that we are not talking about the same child through each of these developmental stages. The material is derived from prior case records of the authors.
Baby/Toddler: Age 8 to 10 Months
Clinical Findings/Presenting Problems
1. Unoperated left unilateral cleft of the lip and palate.
2. Has recently begun to babble; no anterior stop consonants in the babbling inventory; babbles using /m, j,
, h/.
3. Sporadic individual CV uerances include above sounds plus /h/ and what parents describe as a “grunting sound from deep in his throat” that is “prey funny”!
4. His vowel inventory appears to be emerging and expanding appropriately.
