Abstract

This purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of yawn-sigh technique in voice quality of a cleft palate child. A 9-year old cleft palate child participated in the study 3 times a week for a month. The assessments were done by Dr. Speech (Version 4.0, Tiger DRS) on $F_{0}$, jitter, shimmer and NNE. The results showed that there was a tendency that the voice improved in terms of NNE. However, it did not reach a statistical significance.
