The case study examines the therapy, utilising interdisciplinary diagnostics, of a boy with submucosal cleft palate, combined with developmental dysphasia, an eating disorder and hypersensitivity of the orofacial area. The aim of the case study was to hi-ghlight the issue of submucosal clefts of the palate, which are often diagnosed in children at a later age. Importantly, early diagnosis and early initiation of therapy are essential for the child’s development. The case study describes the examination, the beginning of speech therapy and sub-sequent recommendations for a boy who was diagnosed with a submucosal cleft palate at the age of 4 years 9 months. The boy had a combination of submucosal cleft palate with developmental dysphasia and an eating disorder.

Keywords: submucous cleft palate, occult submucous cleft palate, velopharyngeal dysfunction, hypernasality, hypersensitivity
