Cleft Palate and Velopharyngeal Dysfunction: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Evaluation and Management

Abstract

Richly illustrated with clear drawings and photographs, as well as with instructional audio and video files, this is the first and only book dedicated solely to the in-depth, state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary diagnosis and management of cleft palate and velopharyngeal dysfunction. Co-edited by a pediatric plastic surgeon and a speech scientist who are internationally-recognized leaders in the field, and with chapters written by well-known experts, the work is intended to fill the need for a comprehensive text to address the interdisciplinary assessment and management of cleft palate and velopharyngeal dysfunction. Cleft Palate and Velopharyngeal Dysfunction will serve as a valuable resource for surgeons, speech pathologists and others that care for children and adults with cleft palate and velopharyngeal dysfunction.
