by Kate Gaynor, Liam Gaynor, and Eva Byrne This book has been designed to help children to understand and accept the effects of cleft palate, cleft lip or any speech impediment in their lives and most importantly, how best to overcome them. Children with cleft palate or any child with speech or language difficulties can feel very isolated and confused as to why they cannot communicate as their peers do. This book helps children realize that they are not alone in their feelings and that many other children just like them, have to contend with similar speech difficulties. Through the main character, children learn that they can overcome their speech problems by working closely with their speech therapist and not being afraid to try. The book also gives parents an opportunity to discuss any feelings or anxieties that the child may have as regards their speech difficulty.Cleft Palate Speechby Sally J. Peterson-Falzone PhD, Mary A.

Your Cleft-Affected Child: The Complete Book of Information, Resources, and Hopeby Carrie T.

Cleft Lip and Palate: Diagnosis and Managementby Samuel Berkowitz  The second edition of Cleft Lip and Palate: Perspectives In Management is an unparalleled review of treatment concepts in all areas of cleft involvement presented by an international team of experienced clinicians. This text can never be duplicated since it largely consists of longitudinal facial and palatal growth studies of dental casts, photographs, panorexes and cephalographs from birth to adolescence. Throughout all growth and treatment concepts, the need for differential diagnosis in treatment planning has been underscored. The underlying argument is that all of the treatment goals -- good speech, facial aesthetics and dental occlusion -- may be realized without the need to sacrifice one for the other. Every chapter author's concepts arose from extensive experience subjected to testing. Emphasis is placed on the essential character of multicenter clinical studies for improving understanding of the natural history of the cleft defect and the face in which it is found.Management of Cleft Lip and Palate in the Developing Worldby Michael Mars, Alex Habel, and Debbie Sell  This book explores the complex issues surrounding the management of cleft lip and palate in the Developing World, and aims to raise the profile of a condition commonly considered to be of only cosmetic importance in countries where infant and child mortality rates are high. It provides information and guidelines to three groups: those in the Developing World setting up programmes of cleft lip and palate care, and clinicians from developed countries delivering care in that context, as well as clinicians in the Developing World itself. The book is multidisciplinary, demonstrating the role of every member of the team, not just the surgeon, and includes contributions from charity organisations which support these cleft lip and palate programmes. Each area of clinical practice is covered, comparing typical care in developed countries with that in the Developing World, and contains practical suggestions as to how the gap may be narrowed.Management of Cleft Lip and Palate in the Developing World is an important resource for anyone having ?- or planning to have - a commitment to develop services in that environment and to clinicians in the Developing World faced with large numbers of cleft lip and palate patients and limited resources of materials and manpower. Practical Intervention for Cleft Palate Speechby Jane Russell and E.H. Albery (Spiral-  Management of Cleft Lip and Palate (Studies in Disorders of Communication)by A. Watson, Debbie Sell, and Pamela Grunwell This volume is a successor to "Advances in the Management of Cleft Palate", edited by Margaret Edwards and Tony Watson and published in 1980, but it is different enough for its new publishers and editors to feel that its name should be changed. The aim of this work is to provide a review of all aspects of the management of clefts. There are an increased number of chapters and the contributors represent a wider range of professions associated with the care of cleft lip and palate. There are new chapters on genetics, associated conditions and syndromes; antenatal diagnosis; and psychological problems. The role of the paediatrician is covered, as well as that of the parent support group. The book also discusses the problems of choosing the best treatment for the child with a cleft.Cleft Lip and Palate: From Origin to Treatmentby Diego F. Wyszynski  Major advances in the diagnosis and treatment of oral clefts have been made in the past 50 years, and recent genetics and epidemiological studies have led to new theories about the causes of cleft lip and palate. Addressing issues that are relevant to clinicians, researchers and family members, this book is a comprehensive, well-illustrated, and up-to-date account of the many facets of this common disorder. The authors describe the embryological and molecular mechanisms of cleft causation, present and illustrate the genetic and epidemiological methods used to identify risk factors for oral clefts, and describe treatments by the various professionals of the cleft team. A section is also devoted to the integration of research findings into public health practice, including ethical and financial considerations. The book draws together such diverse disciplines as craniofacial development, gene mapping, epidemiology, medicine, ethics, health economics, and health policy and management, and it will be an invaluable reference work.Buy your books at discount prices from these Online BookshopsUSA / Rest of World UK |
