/j/, gloal stop, and /h/. The “prey funny” grunting sound that the parents describe is likely a pharyngeal fricative-type production. “Bobby” has no oral stops, no anterior palatal placements, and exhibits an early paern of speech sound backing.
Recommendations
1. Parents and baby are in need of early speech intervention on a once or twice monthly basis for instruction and guidance on how to discourage pharyngeal and gloal productions and encourage oral sound play in order to expand the sound inventory.
2. The program could be either home based or clinic based.
3. Team follow-up postpalatoplasty.
Baby/Toddler: Age 16 to 18 Months
Clinical Findings/Presenting Problems
1. First visit to cleft palate team at age 11 months.
2. Cleft palate only (palatoplasty done at 12.5 months with [late] placement of PE tubes at the time of surgery).
3. History of intermient otitis media with effusion since infancy; treated with medication.
4. Bilingual language environment; predominantly Spanish (mother bilingual for Spanish and English; father and grandmother speak Spanish only).
5. Naming vocabulary of 10 to 15 words (Spanish) at age 17 months by parental report; mother not sure how much “Anna” understands but feels she knows familiar foods, toys, and clothing items.
6. Reluctant to engage in interactive play with clinician; parents report a speech sound inventory of “vowels” and /m/ which she uses to start

most word aempts, and they say she also makes “growling sounds” and “blows air through her nose” when “talking” to her toys.
Speech/Communication Diagnosis
“Anna's” naming vocabulary is developing slowly. Her speech sound inventory is restricted to vowels and /m/ (at 4.5 months postpalatoplasty), and uerances are also characterized by growls (that may be early pharyngeal fricatives) and audible nasal air emission that may be intentional (i.e., learned nasal fricatives). Velopharyngeal insufficiency cannot be ruled out at this time, and “Anna” should be monitored for possible delay in speech sound acquisition and oral expressive language.
Recommendations
1. Enroll in an early speech and language intervention program with the focus on parent training, so parents can carry out therapy goals for their child in a naturalistic seing.
2. Ideally, the therapist is bilingual in English and Spanish; the program can be home-based or clinic-based, and should engage and “coach” the parent (or grandparent) on how to model and facilitate oral sounds and not reinforce “throat” and “nose” sounds. A clinic-based program can provide interaction with other toddlers and their parents.
3. Initial speech articulation focus should include: (1) establishing imitative sound play behavior and activities to encourage oral airflow and discourage the nasal fricatives; (2) expanding the speech sound inventory; and (3) building a naming vocabulary using sounds already in her inventory (i.e., vowels and /m/) and incorporating others as they emerge.
4. Team follow-up in 6 months; speech to be monitored for possible persisting VPI and impact of early intervention progress on speech sound inventory and early language development.
5. Refer for audiologic/sound field testing before returning for next team visit.

Baby/Toddler: Age 24 Months
Clinical Findings/Presenting Problems
1. Repaired left unilateral cleft lip and palate (palatoplasty and placement of pressure equalizing (PE) tubes, which are still in place, done at age 8 months; hearing WNL).
2. Good lip mobility, no fistulas, no dental or occlusal deviations; tonsils appear small on intraoral exam.
3. Phonetic inventory: [m, n, w, p, b, j,
, ɡ, h]; “s”-like sound that
varies with velar and mid-dorsum palatal fricatives; gloal stops.
4. Mild continuous hypernasality; audible intermient nasal air emission on word-final pressure consonants and coproduced with aempted blowing.
5. Language at least grossly WNL.
6. Speech understandable most of the time when context is known.
7. Error paerns: palatalization and velarization of [t, d, s] (i.e., backed oral productions resulting in mid-dorsum palatal stops and [s] backed to
or ; [t, d] targets backed to [k, ɡ]); intermient gloal stop replacements for word final and intervocalic pressure consonants (especially evident in short connected speech uerances).
Speech/Communication Diagnosis
“Austin” presents with a mildly restricted phonetic inventory for his age ([t, d] are absent) and early developing cleft type error paerns of backed oral productions of [t, d, s] and gloal stop substitutions. Speech uerances are sometimes hard to understand and are characterized by mild hypernasality (rating of 1) and intermient nasal air emission which may be indicative of marginal (possibly veloadenoidal) VP closure.
Recommendations
324
t.me/Dr_Mouayyad_AlbtousH
https://t.me/medicina_free
1. Establish a home program for speech intervention with bimonthly or monthly parent teaching and follow-up sessions with the SLP; the initial goals of the program are to:
• Model and facilitate anterior placements for [t, d]
Teach oral versus nasal direction and control of airflow
through blowing activities (the purpose is not to use blowing to work on beer VP closure)
• Use “s-like” production to facilitate expansion of oral
fricatives
• Target postvocalic [p] to break up word final gloal
stop paern
2. Team follow-up in 6 months to monitor for changes in compensatory nonoral and oral backing paerns and VP closure status.
Preschool: Age 3 to 5 Years
Clinical Findings/Presenting Problems (Age 4 Years)
1. Orofacial exam within normal limits; no physical evidence of VP inadequacy; no perceptible hypernasality.
2. Nasal fricatives substituted consistently for sibilant fricatives and affricates /s, z,
, , /; developmental errors [w/r] and inconsistent
fronting of /k/; articulation otherwise within normal limits for age.
3. Intermient mild dysfluency that parents feel is decreasing.
4. Stimulable for clear oral “s” production using a “long [t]” as a facilitative context. (e.g., [t: s]).

Speech Diagnosis
“Jeremy” presents with phoneme-specific nasal emission on the sibilant fricatives and affricates, while the other pressure consonants in his inventory are articulated normally. This appears to be a learned paern and not related to VP insufficiency.
Recommendations
1. Refer for instrumental/imaging assessment to verify adequate VP closure ability; no physical management.
2. Enroll in individual speech therapy now with the focus on articulation and priority on eliminating nasal fricatives. Monitor the dysfluency and initiate therapy if it worsens or does not continue to resolve on its own.
3. Follow-up team consultation, as necessary or requested, in 1 year or sooner.
Preschool: Age 3 to 5 Years
Clinical Findings/Presenting Problems (Age 3 Years, 8 Months)
1. Adopted from Russia and entered the United States 8 months ago, at age 3 years.
2. Repaired right unilateral cleft lip and palate (lip repair at 10 months in Russia; palatoplasty and bilateral PE tubes placed at age 3-6, two months ago; hearing WNL).
3. Good lip mobility; no oronasal fistulae; full primary dentition; tonsils appear small; uvula “split,” and palate appears short intraorally.
4. Learning English rapidly; using two- to four-word uerances; speech understandable about half of the time, primarily on the basis of vowel nuclei.

5. Consonant phonetic inventory includes [m, n, w, j]; [h] emerging; rampant gloal stops, which mark most pressure consonant targets; no “true” consonants.
6. Mild to moderate hypernasality; nasal air emission evident on blowing but minimal in speech uerances because of frequent gloal stopping and release.
Speech Diagnosis
“Maria” presents with a severe speech disorder characterized by a restricted phonetic inventory (she has no pressure consonants), mild to moderate hypernasal resonance (rating of 1 to 2), and rampant gloal stops. Although the late repair of her unilateral cleft lip and palate and late placement of PE tubes probably are etiologic, her recent entry into the United States, where she is confronted with a new sound system, may also be contributory to gloal stopping. She is learning the English language rapidly.
Recommendations
1. Enroll in intensive individual speech therapy as soon as possible, with the main goal of normalizing and expanding the phonetic inventory.
2. Establish oral airflow as prerequisite to fricative manner.
3. Establish oral placements.
4. Eliminate gloal stopping.
5. Team follow-up in 6 months; determine readiness and need for imaging study of VP function at that time.
School Aged: Age 6 Years
Clinical Findings/Presenting Problems

1. Repaired left unilateral cleft lip and palate; no secondary surgery has been performed to date.
2. Good lip mobility and a mild crossbite in the area of the cleft alveolus; the tonsils are present and small; the examination is otherwise unremarkable.
3. Moderately severe hypernasality, audible nonturbulent nasal air emission; gloal stop substitutions or coproductions for most high pressure consonant targets/targets are sometimes omied or produced as nasal fricatives; conversational speech understandable about half of the time; stimulable for oral placements for “f,” “sh,” and “s” in CV contexts, all accompanied by nasal emission.
4. Receiving individual public school speech therapy three times weekly; therapist is requesting guidance with goals and techniques.
Speech Diagnosis
“Joey” presents with a severe speech disorder characterized by moderately severe hypernasality (rating of 3), nasal air emission, rampant gloal stops, and occasional nasal fricatives, all of which significantly compromise speech understandability. Suspect persisting VP insufficiency but gloal stop–induced VP inadequacy cannot be ruled out based on these clinical findings.
Recommendations
1. Refer for videonasendoscopy of velopharyngeal function to rule out gloal stop–induced VP inadequacy and to evaluate the roles of adenoid and tonsils in closure; defer to physical management, as indicated.
2. Continue school-based individual speech therapy program. Focus on establishing oral fricatives before beginning work to eliminate gloal stops.
3. Provide requested guidance to school SLP; offer collaborative teaching session with parent and child.

4. Team follow-up in 6 months.
School Aged: Age 8 Years
Clinical Findings/Presenting Problems
1. Intermient mild hypernasality in connected speech.
2. Nasal turbulence coproduced intermiently and infrequently with fricative sounds (e.g., /f, s, z,
/) and most perceptible when the speech
context contained nearby or contiguous nasal consonants.
3. Consistent inaudible nasal emission detected via mirror fogging during repeated/serial productions of pressure consonants.
4. Complete phonetic inventory with no placement errors.
5. Orofacial exam revealed a “short-appearing” but mobile soft palate, and the lower margin of adenoid could be seen on phonation of vowels; exam was otherwise unremarkable.
Speech Diagnosis
“Sarah's” speech is easy to understand all of the time but characterized by intermient mild hypernasality (rating of 1) and infrequent nasal turbulence associated with fricatives that appears to be an assimilation effect of surrounding nasal consonants. Because the inferior margin of adenoid is observed intraorally and the velum appears “short,” it is possible that velopharyngeal closure is being aided by an enlarged adenoid and is marginal at this time. This puts “Sarah” at some risk for developing more notable velopharyngeal insufficiency as or if adenoid diminishes further.
Recommendations
1. Refer for videonasendoscopy study to beer define velopharyngeal closure physiology and adequacy and the role of adenoid in closure.
2. Team team follow-up in 1 year.

School Aged: Age 10 Years
Clinical Findings/Presenting Problems
1. Repaired bilateral cleft lip and palate; no secondary surgery to date.
2. Angle class III malocclusion; no fistulas.
3. Mild hypernasality (rating of 1); inaudible and inconsistent nasal emission.
4. Pharyngeal fricative substitutions for “s” and “z”; gloal stop [inconsistent] for “k”; pharyngeal stop [inconsistent] for “g.” These sounds are correct in some phonetic contexts. Making progress eliminating these errors in public school speech therapy.
5. Dentalization of tip alveolars and diffuse production of “sh” and “zh.”
Speech Diagnosis
“Aaron's” speech is understandable most of the time but characterized by mild hypernasality, inconsistent and inaudible nasal emission (suggestive of marginal VP closure), and compensatory substitutions for “s” and “z” (pharyngeal fricatives), “k” (gloal stop), and “g” (pharyngeal stop). He presents speech sound distortions, especially mild frontal lisping, secondary to his class III/underbite malocclusion.
Recommendations
1. Refer for visual imaging studies of VP function to confirm and define, or rule out, marginal VP insufficiency, and determine the need for and potential benefit of physical management at this time.
2. Continue in-school speech therapy with additional focus on elimination of pharyngeal fricatives.

Clinical Findings/Presenting Problems (Age 16)
1. Right hemifacial microsomia with repaired right unilateral cleft lip and palate (palatoplasty at age 11 months); atresia of the right ear canal with moderate unilateral conductive hearing loss.
2. Moderate right crossbite (recent distraction procedures have not benefited the crossbite); it continues in orthodontic follow-up. Conversational speech easy to understand all of the time but characterized by inconsistent velarization of “n”
, mixed
resonance, lateralized production of sibilants.
Speech Diagnosis
“Angela's” speech is understandable all of the time but characterized by mixed resonance, inconsistent backing of “n” to velar place, and mild sibilant distortions probably related to the right crossbite malocclusion.
Recommendations
1. Speech therapy is optional depending upon any social consequences of these mild deviations and “Angela's” desire to further improve articulation; the mixed resonance is socially acceptable; more precise production of sibilant distortions is limited by the crossbite imposed by the shortened, asymmetric mandibular ramus.
2. Team follow-up in 1 year.
3. Angela and her parents have been counseled to contact the team SLP if interested in pursuing therapy to eliminate the velarized /n/.
