“…Altogether Finnish children with clefts have more articulation problems with the studied sounds than noncleft Finnish children of which one third have been reported to have misarticulations [3,4]. The most common errors in Finnish non-cleft children were /r/ and /s/ disorders, which made up 89 and 95% of all errors at the ages of 5 and 7 [4], /l/ disorders being very rare (1%) according to Qvarnström et al [3].…”

“…No non-cleft controls were used in this study because there are several recent methodically comparable studies on articulatory abilities of healthy Finnish children between the ages of 5 and 9 years [3,4]. The interjudge agreement between the cleft team's 2 speech pathologists in rating and categorising misarticulations and estimating the need for speech therapy was adequate.…”

“…Finnish children are expected to produce the sounds of their mother tongue correctly at the age of 5 years [2]. However, errors of speech sounds articulated in the frontal part of the oral cavity, particularly those produced by the contact of the tongue and palatal alveolus, are very common in pre-school and the first school years in Finnish non-cleft children [3,4]. Prevalence of /r/ and /s/ disorders at the age of 7 years has been found to be 7 and 31%, respectively [3].…”

To study the occurrence and type of misarticulations in dental consonants /r/, /s/ and /l/ 280 (115 girls, 165 boys) 6-year-old cleft children were examined by 1 of the 2 experienced speech pathologists of the cleft team. The patients included 82 children with isolated cleft palate (CP), 82 with cleft lip with (34) or without (48) cleft alveolus [CL(A)], 85 with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and 31 with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). CP children were first divided into subgroups; there were 17 children with soft palate cleft, 49 with partial and 16 with complete hard palate cleft. All patients were native Finnish speakers, and had normal hearing, no known syndrome or associated anomalies possibly affecting speech or psychomotor retardation. The results showed that the occurrence and severity as well as the number of errors of all studied sounds separately or grouped increased with the severity of the cleft being constantly greatest in the BCLP group and lowest in the CL(A) group. Altogether 44% of the patients misarticulated at least one studied sound; 41% distorted and 5% substituted, and 2% both distorted and substituted. The /r/ sound was misarticulated by 36%, the /s/ sound by 23%, and the /l/ sound by 18% of the patients. Boys tend to have more problems in producing the studied sounds correctly.

“…In Finland as many as 36% of 6-year-old cleft children [5], and nearly 10% of non-cleft schoolchildren misarticulate the /r/ sound [6,8]. Altogether /r/ disorders are reported to be fairly resistant to early speech therapy [6,7].…”

“…This sound differs from that of most other languages. /r/-sound misarticulations are very common in cleft-affected patients [2][3][4][5] as well as in normal speakers [6,7]. In Finland as many as 36% of 6-year-old cleft children [5], and nearly 10% of non-cleft schoolchildren misarticulate the /r/ sound [6,8].…”

To study the associations between the articulation of the Finnish /r/ sound and dentofacial and pharyngeal lateral cephalometric morphology and speech physiology, 18 (12 females, 6 males) young adult cleft patients’ /r/ sound was analysed auditorily by 3 speech experts. Laryngeal resistance (LARE), the smallest nasal cross-sectional area (NASA), nasal resistance (NASAR) and velopharyngeal orifice area (VEPA) were measured with pressure flow technique, and 31 points were identified from the lateral cephalograms to landmark the skeletal structure, pharyngeal airway diameters, and position of the hyoid bone. The present results showed no significant differences in lateral cephalometric skeletal, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal or hypopharyngeal morphology between subjects with and without /r/-sound distortion. There were no significant correlations either between /r/ distortions and NASA, NASAR or VEPA. An anteriorly positioned hyoid bone was significantly associated with decreased LARE and /r/ distortion. LARE was significantly lower in subjects with /r/ distortion.
