The effect of hybrid telepractice and in person speech therapy on speech characteristics in children with cleft lip and palate. Cleft palate with cleft lip
Conditions
Interventions
Intervention group: Children with cleft palate with or without cleft lip / In the first phase (baseline) without intervention, 3 data points are obtained during 3 weeks of continuous speech perceptual

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Presence of cleft palate with or without cleft lip which is repaired. The age range is 3 to 12 years. Based on the informal assessments of the speech and language pathologist and the child's file in the cleft palate team, the language development is within the normal range and there are no cognitive impairments. Persian as the dominant language of the child. During the perceptual assessments of speech and language, have at least one type of 4 categories of non-oral characteristics (compensatory articulation error) with at least one error consonant. Do not receive speech therapy in other centers when entering the study, because it does not interfere with the treatment provided in the present study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Based on the information in the file, do not have a known genetic or neurological syndrome associated with cleft palate such as pierre robin syndrome or velocardiofacial syndrome. Because it is important that the child under study does not have intellectual, cognitive and language disorders caused by these syndromes. After surgery, there should be no palatal fistula in the soft palate or hard palate. Because having a fistula in the placement of production of oral consonants causes an abnormal change in the contact placement of the tongue with the palate, even with the provision of treatment. The family should be willing to cooperate to receive intensive treatment. For any reason, the child cannot continue the study process or does not cooperate during the research.
