Abstract

Ultrasound tongue imaging is becoming popular as a tool for both phonetic research and biofeedback for treating speech sound disorders. Despite this, it has not yet been adopted into cleft palate ± cleft lip care. This paper explores why this might be the case by highlighting recent research in this area and exploring the advantages and disadvantages of using ultrasound in cleft palate ± cleft lip care. Research suggests that technological advances have largely overcome some of the difficulties of employing ultrasound with this population and we predict a future increase in the clinical application of the tool.
