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.
