The overall aim of the course is that students will acquire the knowledge and skills required to diagnose and suggest treatment models for speech disorders caused by cleft palate and other disorders of palate function, and to work together with other professional categories in the cleft palate team.
Knowledge and understanding
On completion of the course, students shall be able to:
• give a detailed account of how articulatory abnormalities/delays related to cleft palate and palate function disorders can be assessed, described and treated;
• provide an outline description of embryology for the frequency, classification and etiology of cleft palate and other craniofacial deformities and for normal occlusion development and the most common abnormalities in occlusion development;
• describe, in outline, the procedures and teamwork used regarding children and adults with cleft palate, particularly plastic surgery and orthodontics methods and measures.
Skills and abilities
On completion of the course, students shall demonstrate the ability to:
• independently carry out acoustic analysis and transcribe and analyse speech abnormalities related to cleft palate.
• independently supervise parents in feeding small children with cleft palate.

The course is based on previously acquired knowledge and skills in linguistics, and on knowledge of children’s normal and abnormal language development (LOGA32) and of anatomy and physiology (LOGA21). The course is also related to skills acquired in the course LOGA34, Clinical Training and Clinical Skills, term 3.
In the course, students study embryology, cleft palate and other craniofacial abnormalities, normal and abnormal occlusion development, and speech and language pathology, plastic surgery and orthodontic methods and measures for children and adults with cleft palate and disorders of their palate function. The course also trains skills in acoustic analysis and in transcription and analysis of speech abnormalities related to cleft palate.
Subjects examined
Cleft palate, 3 credits
Instruction
The course is based on problem-based learning (PBL) supplemented by lectures and a concluding seminar.
The course includes teacher-led skills training in groups. Attendance is mandatory for all stages.
Examination
Active participation in PBL work and active participation in a concluding seminar at which investigated cases are presented. Written examination covering concepts.
One examination and one opportunity to retake the examination are arranged soon after the course. Students who do not achieve a pass on either of these occasions will be able to retake the examination on a later occasion.
A student who has failed an examination for a particular course or part of a course twice may request that the educational institution appoint a different examiner. Students who have failed an examination on a theoretical course are entitled to retake the examination four times.
Grades are set for a completed course. One of the grades Pass or Fail is awarded.
To be eligible for the course students must have been accepted into the Speech and Language Pathology programme and have no more than 20 credits on theoretical courses left to complete for terms 1–3.
