Earthspeak: A Multicultural Model for Correcting Cleft Palate Speech

A FREEWorkshop proudly sponsored by the UO University Center for 
Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD)




Girl after surgery

Earthspeak is a workshop designed to train speech pathologists and 
educators to provide follow-up treatment or education of children with 
disabilities.

Earthspeak has served multicultural populationsthroughout the world by 
training mentors (often parents) at a "speech camp". Mentors then work 
with the clients using the "Corrective Babbling" model. These techniques 
have been found to be effective in minimizing hyper-nasal speech 
patterns and improving overall speech intelligibility and acceptability 
in individuals over age 4 1/2 through adulthood.

These camps have been used in conjunction with traveling cleft palate 
teams who perform needed surgeries, but had been unable tooffer on-going 
speech therapy. Rotaplast sends surgical teams worldwide and has 
supported Earthspeak in Mexico for the past 2 years.

The Earthspeak model empowers parents of any culture to work effectively 
with their children on a daily basis to train a skill, behavior or 
speech/language.
