CRANIOFACIAL AND VELOPHARYNGEAL DISORDERS (SLP) SC25 Is it the Equipment or the Operator? Evaluation & Treatment for Velopharyngeal Dysfunction SA 8:00AM-11:00AM / Westin, Webster Introductory; Prof Educ AUTHOR(S): Kelly Cordero, Dignity Health; Jessica Williams, Barrow Cleft & Craniofacial Ctr; Lynn Fox, UNC Craniofacial Ctr This session is developed by, and presenters invited by, SIG 5: Craniofacial and Velopharyngeal Disorders. Velopharyngeal closure is the foundation for normal resonance and articulation. The goal of assessing individuals with cleft palate or other velopharyngeal disorders is to determine if resonance and articulation concerns are anatomically and/or behaviorally based. This course will utilize video examples to illustrate effective assessment and treatment recommendations for individuals with velopharyngeal dysfunction including surgery, therapy, both or neither.
