Of central importance was the children's retention and generalization of gains from treatment as indicators of speech…

Purpose: This study compared the occurrence of different types of generalization (within-class, across-class, and total generalization) following motor-phonetic speech therapy and linguistic-phonological speech therapy in children with a cleft palate ± cleft lip (CP ± L). Method: Thirteen children with a CP ± L (M[subscript age] = 7.50 years) who…
