SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:Speech/Resonance Disorders Secondary to Cleft Palate and Velopharyngeal Dysfunction
DESCRIPTION:Level: IntermediateCourse OverviewChildren with speech disorders and/or resonance disorders (hypernasality\, hyponasality and cul-de-sac resonance) due to structural anomalies present challenges for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in all settings.&nbsp\; This seminar is designed to provide current practical information for SLPs who frequently or occasionally see children with cleft palate\, velopharyngeal dysfunction\, dental malocclusion\, oropharyngeal anomalies\, craniofacial anomalies\, or other structural anomalies that affect speech and/or resonance.&nbsp\; The presenter will describe and demonstrate simple low-tech and &ldquo\;no-tech&rdquo\; procedures that can be used for assessment in either a clinical or school setting.&nbsp\; Specialized diagnostic procedures (videofluoroscopy\, nasopharyngoscopy\, nasometry\, and pressure-flow) will be briefly discussed.&nbsp\; Speech therapy techniques will be described and demonstrated.&nbsp\; &nbsp\;This seminar is designed to be informative\, very practical\, and fun!Course ObjectivesUpon completion of this seminar\, the participants will be able to:describe normal facial and oral anatomy and different types of cleftsdiscuss the effects of orofacial anomalies on speech and resonanceidentify the characteristics and causes of resonance disorderslist the types and causes of velopharyngeal dysfunctionuse appropriate procedures for assessment of resonance and velopharyngeal functiondescribe various treatment options for resonance disorders and velopharyngeal dysfunction\, including surgical procedures\, prosthetic devices\, and speech therapy\; andapply appropriate therapeutic techniques for individuals in this population.PresenterAnn W. Kummer\, PhD\, CCC-SLP\, ASHA Fellow\, ASHA HonorsAnn W. Kummer\, Ph.D.\, CCC-SLP\, is a Senior Director of the Division of Speech-Language Pathology at Cincinnati Children&rsquo\;s Hospital Medical Center.&nbsp\; Under her direction\, the speech-language pathology program at Cincinnati Children&rsquo\;s Hospital has become the largest pediatric program in the nation and one of the most respected.&nbsp\; Dr. Kummer is also Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Cincinnati\, College of Medicine.&nbsp\; Dr. Kummer does many lectures and seminars on a national and international level in the areas of cleft palate and craniofacial anomalies\, resonance disorders\, velopharyngeal dysfunction\, and on business practices in speech-language pathology.&nbsp\; She has written numerous professional articles and 24 book chapters in speech pathology and medical texts.&nbsp\; She is one of the authors of the text entitled Business Practices:&nbsp\; A Guide for Speech-Language Pathologists (ASHA\, 2004) and the author of the book entitled Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Conditions:&nbsp\; A Comprehensive Guide to Clinical Management\, 4th Edition (Jones &amp\; Bartlett Learning\, 2020).&nbsp\; Dr. Kummer is the co-developer of the Simplified Nasometric Assessment Procedures (SNAP) test (1996) and author of the SNAP-R (2005) that is incorporated in the Nasometer equipment (PENTAX Medical).&nbsp\; She holds a patent on the nasoscope\, which is marketed as the Oral &amp\; Nasal Listener (Super Duper\, Inc.).&nbsp\; She was one of the main developers of workflow software that won the 1995 International Beacon Award through IBM/Lotus. &nbsp\;(Derivative software is marketed by Chart Links.)
