A cleft lip or palate happens when part of the lip or roof of the mouth does not join together during pregnancy. Some children are born with a cleft lip, a cleft palate or both.
The cleft is usually repaired early in life with surgery. Some children may also have dental or medical needs linked to their cleft.
Other children may have differences in how the soft palate works, which can affect speech.
Speech and language therapists support children as part of a specialist team. They help children develop clearer speech and communicate confidently from early years through to the teenage years.
