Postby Ramona » Mon Jan 24, 2000 6:39 am

Our daughter is 4 and had her cleft palate repaired at 13 months.She is now 4 and cannot pronounce S,G,C. We were to0ld that she might need surgery to push back soft tissue and also reinforce palate. Does anybody have any sugestion?
Any speech improvements tips.Thank You all.

My daughter is 2 1/2 and we are facing basically the same question (whether to go for further surgery for her speech). Perhaps we can share experiences etc, and discuss the advice we have received. If you would like to e-mail me, my address is: kate@vsnl.com
Hope to hear from you
