I was born with a congenital defect called bilateral cleft lip and palate. A cleft lip is when there’s a separation on the upper lip (bilateral if there’s a gap on both sides of the lip). A cleft palate is a gap on the roof of the mouth such that there is an opening into the nose. Both of these were to repair the cleft lip. Speech therapy teaches us how to use various organs to make various sounds.
