Assessment of cleft palate articulation and resonance in familiar and unfamiliar languages: English, Spanish, and Hmong.
… diversity is increasing in the patients seen for cleft palate treatment and there are not enough providers who speak multiple languages. There are no published studies which directly investigate the ability to assess cleft palate articulation and resonance in a language not spoken by the examiner. …

Early Speech and Language Development: A Comparison of Typically Developing Children to Children with Cleft Palate.
… speech and language development of children with cleft lip and palate. To further determine the efficacy of this intervention, this study compared the speech and language development of children with CLP, who received parent implemented intervention, with a group of younger, typically developing …

Relationship Between a Measure of Social and Emotional Development and Early Communication Development in Young Children with Cleft Palate
… and language development in young children with cleft palate and/or lip. Twenty-eight participants aged 14-35 months with nonsyndromic cleft palate and or lip were included in this study. The Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (ITSEA) was used to identify emerging social and emotional …
