Description:

Evaluation and Management of Cleft Lip and Palate: A Developmental Perspective provides fundamental knowledge of cleft palate anomalies and the current state of evidence-based practice relative to evaluation and management. This text contains information on the standard of care for children born with craniofacial anomalies from a developmental perspective along with clinical case studies to help facilitate understanding of the material.
Why adopt this textbook:

• Provides a developmental focus that provides a better understanding of the nature of craniofacial problems and the timetable for management and treatment
• Covers material in a data-driven and evidenced based format, blending scholarly and clinical information
• Well-illustrated in full color with 200+ clear colored pictures many of which are actual structures and people rather than line drawings including pre- and post-treatment results
• Presents the role of the speech-language pathologist in all aspects of care (i.e., before and after surgery from infancy to adulthood)
• Emphasizes oral conditions (dental and occlusal) that impact speech in the school-aged child
