Introduction: Submucosal cleft palate is a craniofacial malformation that can cause speech disorders and intensive speech therapy is an alternative treatment. Objective: report the case of a patient with submucous cleft who participated in an intensive speech therapy program, describe the therapeutic processes and compare speech production before and after therapy. Methods: the intensive therapy program was conducted with a 13-year-old female patient with submucosal cleft and consisted of three daily speech therapy sessions over a period of 4 weeks, resulting in 60 therapy sessions. Before the first session and after the last session, clinical and instrumental assessments of velopharyngeal function were performed. Results: systematization of velopharyngeal closure, improvement of speech intelligibility, elimination of compensatory articulations, weak intraoral pressure and hypernasal resonance in monitored speech. Conclusion: The intensive speech therapy program provided positive short-term results in speech rehabilitation of a patient with submucosal cleft.
