The goal of this interventional study is to see if online speech therapy works just as well as face-to-face speech therapy in children with cleft palate. The main purposes are: To compare the speech accuracy of target sounds in words produced by children with cleft palate between online and face-to-face speech therapy. To compare the gain in speech accuracy in sentences produced by children with cleft palate between online and face-to-face speech therapy. To assess whether changes in speech intelligibility are perceived by parents. To explore what kinds of factors influence speech accuracy. To explore speech training accuracy and speech understandability training accuracy during speech therapy sessions in children with CP Participants will participate in 30-minute speech intervention sessions twice a week for 10 weeks, either in-person or online.
