Abstract: Objective To observe the language skills in children with non-syndromic cleft palate(NSCP) in urban area. Methods Standardized diagnostic language assessments were conducted in 54 children with NSCP who lived in urban area. Subjects with the educational level of the guardian/caregiver equals grade nine and above were defined as subgroup NSCP-A, and those with the educational level of the guardian/caregiver lower than grade nine were defined as subgroup NSCP-B. Total language ability, receptive and expressive, semantic and syntax of the subjects were scored. Results were analyzed and compared to the sex/age matched normal control groups. Results Children in NSCP groups were found to be scored significantly(P<0.05) lower in expressive language and syntax tests than the normal control group, respectively. The syntax scores in subgroup NSCP-B children with NSCP were found below the normal range, implied that lower caregiver’s educational level could cause more negative impact on the syntax ability of children with NSCP. Con-clusion Children with NSCP could have impaired expre-ssive language and syntax skills and their ability for pro-cessing and using complex language structures could be affected by the educational level of the caregivers. Findings of the present study indicated that early assessment and interventions for language skills in children with NSCP should be conducted as components of the team approach.
