What is a Cleft Palate Team and why should I have one?
Babies born with cleft lip or palate often require a variety of treatments as they grow. A cleft palate team is comprised of surgery, pediatric, nursing, feeding, speech, hearing, mental health and other specialties unique to your babys condition. By meeting with each other, and staying in communication as your child grows, these health care providers can individualize and coordinate the best treatment options.
