Description
Cleft Palate Speech Assessment and Intervention provides a comprehensive understanding of speech production and processing associated with cleft palate. International experts in the fields of cleft lip and palate and speech science contribute to this in-depth account of the nature of speech production and assessment and intervention for speech associated with cleft palate. The book covers phonetic, phonological, and psycholinguistic perspectives, as well as implications for literacy and education, and cross-linguistic differences. It also examines the consequences of speech disorders associated with cleft palate on intelligibility and communicative participation. This book is a valuable resource for students of speech-language pathology, practising speech-language pathologists, and others interested in speech production in cleft palate, including researchers and members of multi-disciplinary cleft teams.
