Abstract
This paper describes the outcome of the “Speech Assessment” Task Force of the 12th International Congress of the Confederation for Cleft Lip and Palate and Related Craniofacial Anomalies, held in 2013. This task force attempted to identify a draft set of professional competencies required by speech professionals for the perceptual evaluation of cleft palate speech. The task force also generated a series of general and competency-specific questions that could be useful in subsequent evaluation and study of these competencies, particularly in regards to the application of these competencies to cross linguistic speech assessment. Further review and revision of these competencies is recommended.
