What is a cleft palate? - ANSWER-when structures with in the skull and specifically the
oral cavity have failed to meet at midline, leaving a gap
How common is cleft palate? - ANSWER-1 in 750
What deficit can still occur after surgery for a cleft palate? - ANSWER-the velum itself
may be insufficiently long enough to meet with the pharyngeal wall as it constricts to
give you good velopharyngeal closure; some individuals may have residual speech
problems
What kind of velopharyngeal problem would a hearing impaired person have? -
ANSWER-managing velopharyngeal function because they don't have the auditory
feedback that is required to let them do this properly
If a person has marginal or extremely limited hearing what sounds won't they have the
sensitivity to hear with their own auditory feedback? - ANSWER-nasal consonants;they
are extemely low intensity sounds
What things might cause dysarthria? - ANSWER-stroke
head injury
cerebral palsy
progressive neurological disorders
How does dysarthria affect the velopharyngeal function? - ANSWER-there is a
neruomuscular deficit; the brain sends out signals to the muscles that operate the
velopharyngeal port and those signals may not be strong enough and so may not be
coordinated with other actions that are needed in the vocal tract; a functional deficit in
the activity of the velopharyngeal port resulting in elevated nasality for sounds that
ought to be entirely oral
What is affected if the velopharyngeal port is not operating appropriately? - ANSWER-
serious implications for speech intelligibility and speech quality
