By Linda A. 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 cases studies that represent a variety of speech symptoms associated with cleft palate. In addition, it includes a brief overview of various cleft types 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 and students and speech-language pathologists need easy access to information and materials which explicitly deal with each communication disorder and are state of the art. Children with cleft lip and palate constitute a low incidence population, and 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.

Glossary of terms
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.
