Purpose: Cleft palate is one of the most common birth defects in the United States. Most of these children receive speech therapy by preschool and school-based clinicians. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive tutorial for speech-language pathology assistants (SLPAs) regarding treatment techniques and principles for children with cleft palate. Method: It has been reported that 68% of preschoolers with repaired cleft palate received speech therapy. Preschool and school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have reported a strong desire for practical professional development and continuing education resources regarding treatment of children with cleft palate. Thus, it seems likely that SLPAs may feel similarly unequipped to provide effective treatment for children with cleft palate. Obligatory and learned speech errors commonly found in children with cleft palate are described. Elicitation strategies for compensatory articulations are detailed. The implementation of evidence-based articulation and phonological treatment approaches is described in a step-by-step manner. "Red flags" that may arise during treatment and require input from the supervising SLP are highlighted. Results: SLPAs will learn elicitation techniques for compensatory articulations and implement evidence-based treatment approaches to improve the speech accuracy of children with cleft palate. Conclusion: It is important for all school-based clinicians to be familiar with speech therapy for individuals with cleft palate.
