Description
This pocket-size handbook provides brief summaries about the effects of clefts and non-cleft velopharyngeal inadequacy (VPI) on communication
development in children. Its clinical focus covers the diagnosis and management of the resulting disorders with information presented
in a quick-reference format, including many bulleted lists, tables, and helpful illustrations. While this book is a complete work on
its own, there is some referencing of the larger textbook Cleft Palate Speech that provides background on research and theory, as well
as additional illustrations.
