Abstract:

 Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the speech and resonance characteristics of Turkish-speaking children with cleft lip and palate CLP and to investigate the relationship between oral anatomical-physiological problems and speech-resonance problems. Materials and Methods: 40 Turkish-speaking children with CLP between the ages of 3 and 15 underwent oral-motor evaluation, nasometric evaluation The Nasometric Assessment Tool-Turkish, articulation evaluation sentence repetition test, and perceptual resonance evaluation. Results: The most common speech errors seen in the participants were backing, differentiation of glides, voicing errors, labialisation, nasalisation, palatalisation, dentalisation and lateralisation. 35 of the participants had normal resonance, while the remaining 65 had resonance-airflow problems. A significant relationship was found between hypernasality and nasalisation, weak articulation, and double articulation. A significant relationship was found between class III malocclusion and dentalisation, lateralisation, bilabialisation; crossbite and lateralisation; missing teeth and dentalisation, palatalisation, fronting. Conclusion: There is a relationship between dental and occlusal anomalies and speech errors and between hypernasality and speech errors. In addition to articulation errors, phonological processes may also be present in Turkish-speaking children with CLP. The results of this study can be taken into consideration by speech and language therapists while conducting assessments and providing interventions for Turkish-speaking children with CLP.
