Resumen
The aim of this study is to characterize the changes in speaking in children
with cleft palate (FLP) uni and bilateral transforamen and complete and incomplete
pos-foramen. Therefore twelve subjects with FLP were evaluated at the Foundation
for Skull-Facials Malformation Rehabilitation (FUNDEF), being 3 with incomplete
pos-foramen FLP and 3 with complete pos-foramen FLP; 3 with unilateral
transforamen FLP and 3 with bilateral transforamen FLS, with ages between 5:0
and 7:11 years old, from both genders. All of them had submitted to evaluations:
understandable and expressive language, stomatognatic system, voice, hearing
discrimination, and phonological assessment. Besides, some complementary
examinations were made (otorhinolaryngologic and audiologic evaluation). With the
analysis of the results, it was verified that the hypernasallity and the air escape
occurred to all of the subjects from this research. The changing of the articulation
point was significant, although most of the subjects have shown a little quantity of
absent sounds on their phonetic inventories. On the phonologic system of subjects
with uni and bilateral transforamen FLP and complete and incomplete pos-foramen
FLP, the plosives, nasals, some fricatives and the /I/ liquid classes, were the ones
that had less alteration. The glottis blow and the pharyngeal fricative were not
important alterations found on the subjects from this research, what leads us to relate
this find with the surgical repair age of the subjects from this study, because it refers
to the precocious surgical repair importance, in order to give anatomic-functional
conditions for the speech development.
