Description:
This
webinar will guide SLPs in knowing what to listen for in the speech and
resonance of children with cleft palate, cleft lip and palate, and/or
velopharyngeal dysfunction and will discuss how to differentiate active,
passive, and adaptive articulations. The speaker will address how to decide
what to treat with speech interventions vs. what requires treatment from the
medical team and will review evidence-based intervention techniques.
