This study establishes standard nasalance scores for Thai children using specific passages. These scores are comparable to English norms and useful for assessing velopharyngeal insufficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Health

Background:

  • Nasalance scores are crucial for evaluating speech resonance.
  • Establishing normative data is essential for accurate clinical assessment.
  • Previous research has focused on English-speaking populations, necessitating Thai-specific data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine standard nasalance scores in healthy Thai children.
  • To validate Thai-language reading passages for nasalance assessment.
  • To provide a baseline for diagnosing velopharyngeal insufficiency in Thai pediatric populations.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective descriptive study was conducted with 188 healthy Thai schoolchildren (Grades 1-6).
  • Participants read three standardized Thai passages with varying nasal consonant content.

  • Nasalance scores were measured using a nasometer.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean nasalance scores were 14.3 (SD 5.8), 35.6 (SD 5.9), and 51.1 (SD 6.4) for the three passages, respectively.
    • Scores were comparable to those reported for English-speaking children.
    • Factors like sex did not significantly influence the nasalance scores.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Thai passages are suitable for establishing baseline nasalance scores.
    • This research provides essential normative data for Thai children.
    • The findings support the use of these passages for velopharyngeal insufficiency assessment and treatment planning in Thailand.
