What should I do if my baby with cleft lip and palate cannot speak when he is two years old?

For babies with cleft lip and palate who still cannot speak at the age of two, it is recommended to take the following measures:

Receive a speech evaluation: Under the guidance of a professional doctor, conduct a speech evaluation to understand Baby's language problems. This helps create a personalized speech training plan for your baby.

Start voice training: Based on the results of the voice assessment, start targeted voice training. You can start with simple pronunciation and gradually guide your baby to practice correct pronunciation and pronunciation.

Surgical treatment: If the baby has a cleft lip and palate problem and it has affected the speech function, it is recommended to undergo surgery in a timely manner. This helps improve your baby's speech problems.

Hearing feedback training: During the training process, listening feedback can be used to help babies hear their own pronunciation and gradually master correct pronunciation skills. You can use tools such as recordings or videos to help your baby hear their own pronunciation and compare it with the correct pronunciation.

Seek professional help: If your baby's language problem is serious or home training is ineffective, it is recommended to seek help from a professional agency. Professional speech therapists will develop a more comprehensive speech training plan based on the baby's condition and provide professional guidance and advice.

In short, for babies with cleft lip and palate who still cannot speak at the age of two, speech evaluation and speech training need to be carried out as early as possible, and surgical treatment should be carried out in a timely manner according to the situation. In family training, the baby needs to be patiently guided and encouraged to practice correct pronunciation and pronunciation. If the home training effect is not good, you should seek help from professional institutions in time.
