Cleft Palate Therapy 4: A Case Study Catherine (Cate Crowley) and Miriam Baigorri of Teachers College, Columbia University, present Spanish language modules on the identification and treatment of speech impairment due to cleft palate. Find the description in Spanish, followed by English, below. En la cuarta clase se ve como las estrategias presentados en clases anteriores funcionan en el mundo real. Miriam demuestra las estrategias específicas y la jerarquia de terapia con un niño con el paladar hendido reparado. Se recuerde también que nunca debería usar ejercicios orales motrices en la terapia porque no hay estudios que comprueban su eficacia en cambiar el habla del paladar hendido. In the fourth class you can see how the strategies presented in previous classes are applied in the real word. Miriam shows specific strategies and the therapy hierarchy with a boy who has a repaired cleft palate. It's important to remember that oral motor exercises should never be used in therapy because there are no studies that support their efficacy in improving cleft palate speech.
