What Does Uvula Deviated Uvula With Extra Tissue In Side Of Throat Suggest?

I am a speech pathologist and was doing an oral motor exam on a student and noticed that her uvula deviates to the right and there appears to be extra tissue that is attaching it to the side of her throat. I've never seen anything like this before. What would cause this? Her speech is fine, however her language skills are extremely low. Can this affect her language?
