Suggest Treatment For Hypernasal Voice
I am a speech pathologist with a new client, 3 1/2 year old female. She has a hypernasal voice on some sounds, but not all. A brief oral mech revealed a V shaped uvula that deviates to her Left when producing ah. I palpated her palate and felt her notch in the center, but I am not formally trained in feeling for fistulas or submucosal clefts. Her pediatrician has seen her and done a visual exam of her mouth - no enlarged tonsils or adnoids were seen (nor did I see that). I will refer to an ENT, but thought I get some info from an expert first. Any thoughts?
