Non-Oral Compensatory Misarticulations Revisited

Abstract

Non-oral compensatory misarticulation patterns are often associated with the speech of children with cleft palate. Despite their saliency, the etiology, frequency, and treatment of these misarticulations have not been studied extensively. The purpose of this commentary is to review what we know about these atypical patterns of articulation and address clinical assumptions regarding their etiology and treatment.
