EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
This is the fourth edition of a comprehensive classroom text successfully used for over a quarter of a century to train and orient professional graduate students of speech pathology and audiology to manage and conduct clinical research in the area of communicative disorders related to cleft lip and palate and related craniofacial disorders. It includes 23 integrated chapters developed by 25 contributing authors, 14 of whom are new contributors to this edition. The book reviews more than 40 years of important contributions to the prevention and management of related language, speech, and hearing disorders common up to publication of the first edition of this text. The updated book covers the "state-of-the-art-and-science" of that body of knowledge developed through long-refined clinical research emphasizing early intervention, scientific differential diagnosis of problems, and the team approach. New topics developed in this edition include: The altered anatomy of muscle insertions in clefting, velolingual and velolaryngeal coarticulation coordination in speech production, and muscle fatigue and compensatory muscle functions in cleft palate speech; Listing and description of genetic and chromosomal bases of syndromes of craniofacial disorders; The theory of stigmatization as it relates to understanding and helping individuals with clefts and craniofacial anomalies; The basic current techniques and preferred timing of primary surgical reconstruction of palatal clefts; and much more.
