    Speech:

    Complex mechanism between many organs including: Respiratory tract, tongue, teeth, lips, competent soft and hard palate and an efficient plato-pharyngeal sphincter.

    Phonetics: is learnt rather than an innate function but once learned, speech is developed

    • Incompetent lips and/or cleft palate and/or inadequate plato-pharyngeal closure as Air needed for sound escapes through the nose rather than the oral cavity thus Nasal speech are unclear. Nasal Speech are(M,N,ing).
    • Speech is more complicated with congenital defects than acquired becuase Children with congenital defects they didn’t develop the correct speech pattern (speech is a process learned) thus need speech therapy after correction of the defect to acquire the normal patterns. While in acquired defects the speech pattern is already (almost always) acquired, thus by correction the defect will not need any speech therapy.
