Fatu

Sally's latest patient for Speech & Language Therapy is 11 year old Fatu from ELWA, who recently had surgery for a cleft palate. Until last week she was unable to pronounce consonants and her speech was unintelligible, but due to the exercises she has been working on with Sally in the last week or two, she is able to pronounce "p","b","d","t","d","k","g", "m" and "s". She is now a lot closer to being understood than before. She has a long way still to go, but is working very hard, and Sally is very pleased with her progress. Olly
