[Intelligence in children with cleft lip and palate]

W Niermann, K Goyer

    Zeitschrift Fur Plastische Chirurgie
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Children with cleft lip and palate show higher intelligence scores, particularly in non-verbal skills. This study assessed intelligence in 174 children, finding above-average IQ and strong non-verbal abilities.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Psychology
    • Developmental Neuroscience
    • Speech-Language Pathology

    Context:

    • Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are common congenital conditions affecting facial structure and potentially speech development.
    • Previous research indicates potential cognitive variations in children with CLP, but findings are not always consistent.
    • Assessing intelligence comprehensively, including both verbal and non-verbal domains, is crucial for understanding the developmental trajectory of these children.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the intelligence profiles of children with cleft lip and palate.
    • To compare articulation-connected (verbal) and non-articulation-connected (non-verbal) intelligence using standardized tests.
    • To identify specific cognitive strengths and weaknesses in this population.

    Summary:

    • A study of 174 children with cleft lip and palate utilized the HAWIE and HAWIK intelligence tests.
    • The group achieved an average IQ of 106.6, exceeding the normative mean of 100.
    • A significant difference was observed, with non-verbal (action-part) intelligence consistently outperforming verbal (articulation-connected) intelligence across subtests.
    • Qualitative analysis revealed notable strengths in verbal concept formation, verbal knowledge, and social adaptation.

    Impact:

    • Findings suggest that children with cleft lip and palate may possess specific cognitive strengths, particularly in non-verbal reasoning and certain verbal domains.
    • This information can inform tailored educational and therapeutic interventions for children with CLP.
    • Highlights the importance of using comprehensive intelligence assessments that differentiate between verbal and non-verbal abilities in this population.
