Abstract: | Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a congenital condition which can result in communication impairment. The articulation, resonance and voice aspects are affected to a greater extent among children with CLP. Children with CLP have greater difficulty in producing pressure consonants. Therefore, this study aimed at developing the deep test of articulation for pressure consonants in Kannada for individuals with CLP. The study was carried out in four phases: 1) Identification of pressure consonants in Kannada language, 2) Development of word list of target pressure consonants, 3) Development of picture form for the final word list and 4) Development of sentence list of target pressure consonants. The target pressure consonants were developed in several possible vowel and consonant contexts in preceding and following milieu. The developed word list, picture form, and sentence list were given to three speech language pathologists and two preschool teachers for familiarity testing. The stimuli were finalized after the familiarity testing. The final word list compromised of 519 words (277 words in preceding context & 242 words in following context). The finalized picture form compromised of 277 pictures in preceding context and 242 pictures in the following context. The sentence list after familiarity rating comprised of 377 sentences in preceding context and 351 sentences in following context. The final list compromised of 728 sentences. The deep test using pressure consonants provides detailed information about articulation abilities of individual with CLP. The standardized diagnostic test will be very helpful tool in diagnostic as well as therapeutic intervention. |
