Abstract
The 84 children with cleft palates who were utilized in this study were assigned to one of 2 groups representing either adequate or inadequate intraoral breath pressure for articulation. These subjects were given sub-tests from the Templin-Darley Diagnostic Test of Articulation. Wetspirometer readings were also obtained. It was shown that the children with adequate intraoral breath pressure were comparable to normals in articulation skills. Children with cleft palates with inadequate intraoral breath pressure had poorer articulation skills Children who have had early palatal management display better articulation than those with late management.
