The present study hypothesizes that certain patients treated with a pharyngeal bulb prosthesis associated with an intensive speech therapy program may develop an increase in velopharyngeal muscle activity during speech, to the point of considerably reducing (or even eliminating) the velopharyngeal gap. When this happens, surgery (as well as the choice of surgical technique) can then be su…
Introduction: Many children with speech disorders resulting from cleft lip and palate remain isolated because of their inability to communicate. Speech therapy is necessary to prevent or eliminate the speech disorders resulting from the velopharyngeal dysfunction in individuals with cleft lip and palate. Objective:To describe an Intensive Therapy Program (ITP) for treatment of speech diso…

Introduction: Perceptual evaluation of speech is considered as the first method to diagnose velopharyngeal disfunction in individuals with cleft palate. However it consists of a subjective judgement which is subject to variations and errors, even among skilled listeners. For this reason, the use of instrumental exams is necessary for treatment planning. Flow pressure technique is an aerod…

Introduction: Intensive Speech-Therapy Programs (ISTP) have been cited in literature as one of the most effective interventions for speech improvement in individuals with cleft lip and palate. To evaluate the effectiveness of ISTP, perceptual-auditory speech evaluation is considered the gold standard even though it is reported to be a subjective method. Acoustic analysis (spectral and nas…
