Articulation Problems of a Group of Cleft Palate Adults

Abstract
48 adults with cleft palates recorded on tape speech samples containing 23 consonant sounds in frequencies comparable to their occurrence in conversation. (s) and (z) sounds were found to be most frequently and consistently in error. The subjects were highly inconsistent in their articulation of consonants and in most cases were able to produce all sounds correctly some of the time. Distortion of consonant sounds was the outstanding characteristic.
