Abstract
Tracheostomy is an artificial airway that allows for the passage of air directly from the trachea to the lungs, bypassing the upper airway structures of typical respiration (Hull et al., 2005). This results in minimal airflow across the vocal folds and often inhibits the patient’s ability to vocalize. Children who require tracheostomy often remain tracheostomy-dependent throughout their first years of life, which is a crucial period for speech and language development (Watters, 2017). Research has shown that children with tracheostomy are at an increased risk for expressive and receptive language delay which may be due to a lack of auditory and oral-motor feedback typically accompanying speech development, lack of intensified language stimulation, and/or concomitant illnesses (Kaslon & Stein, 1985). However, the use of a tracheostomy speaking valve in an appropriate candidate may reduce the risk of speech and language delay by facilitating vocalization and providing a means to build verbal communication skills. This project provides a scoping review of the impact of tracheostomy on speech and language development and identifies intervention approaches aimed at facilitating communication with tracheostomy-dependent children using speaking valves.

Impact of Pediatric Tracheostomy on Speech and Language Development, and Methods of Facilitating Communication
