“…The modified naturalistic listening in real time (NLRT) approach used in this study was found to be an efficient and reliable method for documenting emergence of consonants for research purposes. 23 Unlike phonetic transcription, which is more labor intensive and may be more likely to overestimate a child's speech production capabilities, NLRT is thought to mimic what parents’ perceive when listening to their child. Ramsdell et al 32 argued that parents attend to global sound patterns and attend less to phonetic detail.…”

The current study examined stop consonant production in children with cleft lip and/or palate (CP ± L) 2-6 months following palatal surgery. Prospective comparative study. Multisite institutional. Participants included 113 children with repaired CP ± L (mean age = 16 months) who were participating in the multicenter CORNET study. Procedures: Parents of participants were asked to record approximately two hours of their child's vocalizations/words at home using a Language ENvironmental Analysis (LENATM) recorder. Four ten-minute audio-recorded samples of vocalizations were extracted from the original recording for each participant and analyzed for presence of oral stop consonants. A minimum of 100 vocalizations were required for analysis. Preliminary findings indicate that at least one oral stop was evident in the consonant inventory for 95 of the 113 children (84%) at the time of their post-surgery 16-month recording, and 80 of these children (71%) were producing two or more different stops. Approximately 50% of the children (57/113) produced the three voiced stops, and eight of the children (7%) were producing all six stop consonants. The findings of this study suggest that the majority of children with repaired CP ± L from English-speaking homes are producing oral stops within six months following palatal surgery. Similar to same-age children without CL ± P, voiced stops were more frequently evident in the children's inventories than voiceless stops. In contrast to findings of previous reports suggesting place of articulation differences, a somewhat comparable percentage of children in this study produced voiced bilabial, alveolar, and velar stops.

“…Modified Naturalistic Listening in Real Times (NLRT) Analysis. The modified NLRT analysis used in this study was described previously 23 and was performed using TimeStamper software. 24 This software identifies annotations of two different keystrokes: one for canonical syllables and one for noncanonical syllables.…”

Aims To provide an overview of the Cleft Outcomes Research NETwork (CORNET) and the CORNET Speech and Surgery study. The study is (1) comparing speech outcomes and fistula rate between two common palate repair techniques, straight-line closure with intra-velar veloplasty (IVVP) and Furlow Double-Opposing Z-palatoplasty (Furlow Z-plasty); (2) summarizing practice variation in the utilization of early intervention speech-language (EI-SL) services; and (3) exploring the association between EI-SL services and speech outcomes. Design Prospective, longitudinal, observational, comparative effectiveness, multi-center. Sites Twenty sites across the United States. Participants One thousand two hundred forty-seven children with cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP ± L). Children with submucous cleft palate or bilateral sensorineural severe to profound hearing loss were excluded from participation. Interventions Straight-line closure with IVVP or Furlow Z-plasty based on each surgeon's standard clinical protocol. Main Outcome Measure(s) The primary study outcome is perceptual ratings of hypernasality judged from speech samples collected at 3 years of age. Secondary outcomes are fistula rate, measures of speech production, and quality of life. The statistical analyses will include generalized estimating equations with propensity score weighting to address potential confounders. Current Progress Recruitment was completed in February 2023; 80% of children have been retained to date. Five hundred sixty two children have completed their final 3-year speech assessment. Final study activities will end in early 2025. Conclusions This study addresses long-standing questions related to the effectiveness of the two most common palatoplasty approaches and describes CORNET which provides an infrastructure that will streamline future studies in all areas of cleft care.
