Purpose Children with a cleft palate (± cleft lip; CP±L) can have difficulties communicating and participating in daily life, yet speech-language pathologists typically focus on speech production during routine assessments. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY; World Health Organization, 2007 ) provides a framework for holistic assessment. This tutorial describes holistic assessment of children with CP±L illustrated by data collected from a nonclinical sample of seven 2- to 3-year-old children, 13 parents, and 12 significant others (e.g., educators and grandparents). Method Data were collected during visits to participants' homes and early childhood education and care centers. Assessment tools applicable to domains of the ICF-CY were used to collect and analyze data. Child participants' Body Functions including speech, language, and cognitive development were assessed using screening and standardized assessments. Participants' Body Structures were assessed via oral motor examination, case history questionnaires, and observation. Participants' Activities and Participation as well as Environmental and Personal Factors were examined through case history questionnaires, interviews with significant others, parent report measures, and observations. Results Valuable insights can be gained from undertaking holistic speech-language pathology assessments with children with CP±L. Using multiple tools allowed for triangulation of data and privileging different viewpoints, to better understand the children and their contexts. Several children demonstrated speech error patterns outside of what are considered cleft speech characteristics, which underscores the importance of a broader assessment. Conclusion Speech-language pathologists can consider incorporating evaluation of all components and contextual factors of the ICF-CY when assessing and working with young children with CP±L to inform intervention and management practices.

Manusia yang sehat memiliki keinginan untuk menetapkan tujuan dan menemukan makna dalam hidupnya. Pemaknaan di dalam hidup diperoleh melalui penghayatan terhadap pengalaman dari peristiwa yang terjadi dalam hidup. Peristiwa besar yang dialami di dalam hidup diantaranya adalah terlibat kasus korupsi dan menjalani hukuman di lapas berdampak pada perubahan makna hidup. Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh perubahan pola hidup yang dijalani serta tekanan secara emosional yang dirasakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi perubahan makna hidup pada WBP tipikor. Pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologi digunakan untuk mengeksplorasi perubahan makna hidup melalui pemaknaan terhadap fenomena hidup di lapas. Dua orang subjek utama terlibat dalam penelitian ini. Pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara mendalam, observasi dan dokumen. Pengujian kredibilitas penelitian ini menggunakan member checking, triangulasi yang melibatkan significant others, dan deskripsi secara kaya dan padat agar mampu mencapai derajat transferabilitas. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan perubahan makna hidup yang dirasakan oleh subjek adalah timbulnya peningkatan rasa syukur, peningkatan religiositas, komitmen, ikhlas, dan perubahan penilaian sosial. Kemudian terkait dengan aspek-aspek yang mendasari perubahan makna hidup diantaranya pandangan hidup di masa lalu, refleksi terhadap kasus korupsi, refleksi terhadap pengalaman hidup di lapas, relasi-dukungan sosial, dan coping stress.Kepada subjek WBP Tipikor diharapkan mampu untuk menjalani sisa kehidupan di lapas dengan sebaik-baiknya.

Few healthy people welcome death, but most would welcome a quick, easy death to avoid suffering and the loss of control over their lives. We need to ask: what sort of human environment do we hope for at the end of our lives? What will the world and our own living in it look like when we know we are about to die? What kind of human relationships will sustain us through this most personal of life's experiences when we may become more dependent on others? Do we fear we will either be abandoned through lack of meaningful personal contact with significant others, or be actors in a tragi-comedy of pretense in which authentic forms of human expression are unattainable?
