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 book features:*A developmental focus that provides a better understanding of the nature of craniofacial problems and the timetable for management and treatment.*A focus on information needed by the school-based SLP.*An emphasis on oral conditions (dental and occlusal) that impact speech in the school-aged child.*A blend of scholarly and clinical information.This is a graduate level text that targets speech-language pathology students, as well as audiology students, medical students, and graduate students studying communication disorders.
