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. This graduate-level text targets speech-language pathology students, as well as audiology students, medical students, and graduate students studying communication disorders.
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 with 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)

- Presentation of surgical treatment based on development age
- Chapter on hearing offers a practical approach to ear problems and hearing loss associated with cleft and craniofacial anomalies, and provides a summary of hearing tests that should be familiar to the reader and suggestions about counseling families
- Chapters on Speech Characteristics and Assessment are written from a speech science perspective and evidence-based
Ancillary materials on a PluralPlus companion website include
- Accompanying multiple choice and critical thinking questions with guided answers to ensure appropriate understanding of the material

Review
"I'm a licensed SLP who has been practicing for 13 years. I also have a son who was born with a complete cleft of the hard and soft palate. There is no single text that offers such a comprehensive look at cleft lip and palate. The photographs offer some of the clearest pictures I have ever seen of the anatomy, development, devices and surgical repair techniques and in turn, these photographs enhance understanding in here areas. Chapter 10 (school based intervention) should be mandatory study for any SLP wanting to work in schools. It offers guidelines for treatment based functional assessment techniques of a child with a cleft. It is clear and concise while simultaneously providing a plethora of information. Lastly, the chapter on speech and resonance characteristics offers an unbelievable compilation of information. The tables summarize large amounts of information into very readable format. I wish this text had been available when I was in school. I've been looking for a text like this for the last 7 years and finally, I feel like I have the information that I've been looking for."
