Speech Acoustic Analysis in Adult Patients With Cleft Palate After Cleft Palate Repair and Speech Therapy

Surgical intervention addresses the physical closure of the cleft palate and reconstructs the resonator's structure. Conversely, consonant improvement predominantly occurs through targeted speech therapy aimed at rectifying pronunciation habits and tutoring patients on the effective utilization of repaired articulatory organs. The combined intervention of cleft palate surgery and speech therapy plays a complementary role in speech restoration for cleft palate patients.
