A national postal survey was sent to all speech and language therapy managers/directors in England and Wales (n=206), to identify individuals aged 8-18 years with a cleft palate, who have persisting communication difficul-ties. Twelve of the 303 young people identified in the survey were studied further through a residential intervention programme (July 1999). The findings have far-reaching implications for all involved in the management of these children/adolescents’ psychosocial welfare, especially the Cleft Palate Team and those responsible for their education. [The term ‘cleft palate’ incorporates those with cleft lip and palate and non-cleft velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI).]
