The decision to perform surgery on a patient for VPD is made following thorough assessment and is best made in collaboration with the patient’s family, a speech and language pathologist, and the surgeon. The timing and manner of intervention depends on several patient-specific variables related to a syndromic or non-syndromic diagnosis, prior surgical procedures, palatal anatomy, and overall health of the child. Despite the challenges that children with VPD may encounter, their speech production can be vastly improved by speech therapy and surgical intervention.
