Velopharyngeal Dysfunction (VPD) Clinic

The VPD Clinic consists of a multidisciplinary team of pediatric otorhinolaryngologists as well as speech-language pathologists who specialize in the evaluation and medical and surgical treatment of patients with hypernasality and other resonance disorders. The goal is to assess the patient’s speech, resonance, velopharyngeal function and to form a treatment plan. Through a comprehensive team assessment, these specialists try to determine the cause of the speech problem and the contributing factors.
