Cleft Palate Speech and Resonance

An Audio and Video Resource

By: Linda D. Vallino,Dennis M. Ruscello,David J. Zajac

Cleft Palate Speech and Resonance: An Audio and Video Resource is a clinical tool to train students and clinicians to reliably identify articulation, resonance, nasal air emission, and voice aspects of cleft palate speech. The resource contains high-quality audio and video recordings of speech samples and case studies that represent a variety of speech symptoms associated with cleft palate. In addition, it includes a brief overview of the velopharyngeal mechanism and a protocol for the clinical assessment of patients with cleft-related speech disorders. All information presented is evidence based and reflects the most current knowledge on cleft palate speech. Assessment and treatment concepts in cleft care have changed significantly over the past 25 years. Speech-language pathologists need easy access to new information and state-of-the-art resources that explicitly deal with cleft care. Because children with cleft lip and palate constitute a low-incidence population, many practitioners have limited academic or clinical training in this area. The goal of this resource is to improve the knowledge base and clinical skills of practitioners by presenting current information through a range of auditory-perceptual experiences. Key Features: * Case studies with an extensive array of audio and video samples of recorded speech disorders produced by individuals with cleft palate * Addresses both knowledge and skills by presenting a wide range of auditory-perceptual experiences and content knowledge that will help students and clinicians identify the variety of speech disorders in cleft palate and the methods by which to assess them * The speech samples reflect current thinking and it contain 101 high-quality digital speech samples and cases - more than any other current text * Provides the reader with concise yet complete descriptions of the speech features associated with cleft palate and a systematic approach to assessing speech, resonance, and phonation * Presents opportunities for independent practice in listening and analyzing a variety of communication disorders and complexity and comparing perceptual findings with the authors For instructors of speech-language pathology, Cleft Palate Speech and Resonance provides a much-needed teaching resource that is necessary to understanding and identifying speech disorders in speakers with cleft palate. Practicing speech-language pathologists can use it to retool their skills and it is also a great resource for dental and medical students and residents as well as those practitioners who already serve a cleft palate team.

Sextuplets

Study of a Sibling Group

By: Linda Root Fortini,Laura Mori

This unique and fascinating book carefully traces aspects of the personality of sextuplets which persist from birth onwards. The way in which the personal characteristics of both the mother and her children influence the quality of maternal care and relationships with peers is also carefully compared and delineated. What is most original and striking about this book is the examination of sibling group relationships and the description of the sextuplets' early innate characteristics and interactions in early childhood through both psychological testing and infant observations and then shows how specific characteristics and interactions persist through early adult life. It is essential reading for many professionals involved in child development studies including doctors, teachers, psychologists, psychotherapists and health visitors.'- Jeanne Magagna, Phd, Consultant Psychotherapist, Ellern Mede Centre and former Head of Psychotherapy Services, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children
