The diagnosis and evaluation of velopharyngeal concerns is complex. It involves a variety of assessment techniques--both indirect, such as speech, and direct, using instrumentation to delineate how the velopharyngeal structures function. However, the most important tools we have for making decisions regarding velopharyngeal function and need for management are the speech characteristics. From thorough analysis of speech, there is much that can be learned about the status of velopharyngeal function and potential for change. The ultimate question that the speech diagnostician must attempt to answer concerns adequacy of velopharyngeal structures and function for producing acceptable speech.
腭咽问题的诊断和评估很复杂。它涉及多种评估技术——既有间接的，如语音评估，也有直接的，即使用仪器来描绘腭咽结构的功能。然而，我们用于就腭咽功能及处理需求做出决策的最重要工具是语音特征。通过对语音的全面分析，可以了解到很多关于腭咽功能状态及变化潜力的信息。言语诊断师必须试图回答的最终问题是腭咽结构和功能对于产生可接受语音的充分性。
