This self-study course, developed by Dr. Catherine Crowley, Dr. Miriam Baigorri, and Chelsea Sommer focuses on how speech and feeding are affected by a cleft palate. The videos themselves are in English. However, the subtitles can be changed to Bahasa (Indonesian) through the settings in the bottom right corner of each video. The assessment required to get a certificate for passing the course is provided in both English and Bahasa in the link below.
In this course, participants will learn about evidence-based assessment and treatment approaches for children with various compensatory cleft palate speech errors through a series of video modules and supplementary readings. Topics include speech therapy, oral examination and speech sound assessment, feeding a baby with cleft lip and/or cleft palate, syndromes, and surgical cleft palate repair.
