The Palate is the upper roof of your mouth. As it develops if it fails to close you develop a cleft palate. I underwent surgery to close the cleft and had speech therapy during elementary school. Still I had a nasally speech and had problems in socializing. Why speech impediments happen is above my pay grade. I have a speech impediment, recently a stroke, I’m disabled on my right side, I can only use one hand, I can only walk a short distance, so a speech impediment is the least of my worries.
