  Abstract:   Although the best-known modifications of resonation are owed to VPI in conjunction with cleft palate, in speech therapy there are often also other situations, in which VPI is accompanied by diverse symptoms that affect the quality and intelligibility of pronounciation and speech. In the following we present a case by means of which we would like to reveal the existing relationship between the complex examination and the rehabilitation intervention programme.

Key words: Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), pronounciation disorders, speech disorders, hypernasalisation, phonetic inventory, compensatory articulation movements.
