EUROCRAN Cleft Speech Assessment Tool Online
EUROCRAN, the European Collaboration on Craniofacial Anomalies, has release their interactive online speech assessment tool for persons with cleft lip or palate. The web site is primarily designed for health care professionals, but may be of interest to those who want to know more about how speech is assessed.
"These webpages are an interactive tool designed for learning about cleft speech. There are suggestions on how to collect a good speech sample and more practically there are speech samples in different languages for you to develop your listening skills. It is therefore a listening exercise as well as a means of promoting good practice."
