Cleft palate is a common congenital malformation, but with the development of medical technology, repair surgery becomes simple and safe. But postoperative speech correction training is equally important. This paper will introduce the timing and methods of speech correction training after cleft palate repair to help parents help their children better.

Early correction

Children with early surgery can generally receive speech correction training at the age of 3-4. At this point, they already have the basic understanding and cooperation ability. The sooner you correct it, it will be of great benefit to speech recovery and children's growth.

If the operation time is late, such as 3 years old or even adult, 1-2 months after operation, the wound heals and is basically painless, which is also an ideal time for speech correction. This stage is crucial to the formation of language sense.

Miss the best period

Even if the best correction period is missed, the pronunciation problem of cleft palate can still be corrected to normal pronunciation. But it takes more effort and time, because long-term bad habits and muscle function adjustment are not easy.
