Often if CL is present alone, there is little to no effect on the outcomes of speech and language development. However, in CLP or CP the speech and language abilities can be significantly affected. Speech tends to be highly influenced and characterized by cleft palate speech. Cleft palate speech is characterized by weak or nasalized consonants, nasalization of plosives and fricatives, gliding of fricatives

Cleft Lip/Palate Definition: • According to MedicineNet, “cleft lip is an opening extending through the upper lip. It may be in the midline, left, or right side of the lip. A cleft palate is an opening of the hard palate or the soft palate. Similar to a cleft lip, a cleft palate may be midline or to either right of left side of the palate. A cleft palate may extend from the upper jawbone to the rear of the throat. Since development of the lip and palate occur at different times during gestation

of about 1 to 2 out of 1,000 births, cleft lip and palate are among the most common birth defects (Robin et al., 2006). The disorder can be isolated or be a feature of a syndrome as a result of environmental and/or genetic factors (Nagarajan et al., 2009). However, cleft lip and cleft palate most commonly occur as isolated birth defects (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2015). The defect can be seen as just a cleft palate (CPA), or as a cleft lip with or without a cleft palate (CLP) (Robin et al., 2006). CLP

This caused me to need speech therapy in and out of school due the fact to no one could understand me when I spoke. Along with that the Palate wasn't found at birth, like it should've been, it was found years later. So I missed a good portion of my first grade year. The speech therapy was very extensive and, honestly, tough for me at the time. I started

Case Study 20: The Digestive and Urinary Systems 1) Marissa, a newborn with a cleft lip and palate, is the third child of Juan and Maria. Both Juan and Maria are “visually alarmed” at Marissa’s appearance; however, Juan is more distant and reserved. Maria is very concerned with Marissa’s wellbeing and future and seems to take blame for Marissa’s physical condition. 2) The incidence of cleft lip (CL) with or without cleft palate (CP) is approximately 1 in 800 live births.

“I thought about Hassan’s dream, the one about us swimming in the lake. There is no monster, he’s said, just water. Expect he’d been wrong about that. There was a monster in the lake… I was that monster.” When looking at this quote some may wonder who would be considered the monster; and in this case Amir would be. The idea of him redeeming himself from being a monster is a recurring theme in the story and the movie. In the movie and book there are several similarities I could discuss. The one

Wide cleft palate is the most severe type of congenital cleft palate disease and palatal fistula remains a significant problem for clinicians regardless of the type of repair. Various local flaps have been used to achieve primary closure in wide cases of cleft palate(1-3). Even though the surgeon performs complete closure, secondary oronasal fistula and severe scar contracture and subsequent growth disturbance can develop because of the large area of raw bone surfaces.

As a child I suffered from severe stuttering. I came to America at the age of five therefore, English is not my primary language. This made it difficult for me to learn English. I had the capacity to develop abstract ideas and understood what was being told to me. I could not articulate what I wanted to say. I didn’t not have the ability to communicate with others around me.
