Treatment for Nasality--What has worked?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

A speech therapist has contacted me. She is working with an RSS child

(not sure of the age). She would like to know if there is any type of

therapy effective for treating the hypernasality this child is

exhibiting. She had been told that it was a " learned " behavior. I

wrote her back to explain that some RSS children have physical

characteristics which can cause the extreme nasality.

Anybody out there have any specific therapy regimens that have worked

(or not worked)?

Thanks!
