Cleft Palate & Craniofacial Anomalies: Effects On Speech And Resonance Available To Downloads
Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies: Effects on Speech and Resonance is the only book of its kind that covers both oral and facial anomalies and cleft palate. Designed as a how-to guide for the practicing clinician, this book emphasizes what students, clinicians new to this population, and any member of a cleft palate team need to know in the workplace. It includes information on common craniofacial anomalies, associated anomalies, and genetic syndromes. Everything from basic information on anatomy, physiology, and embryology of the face and oral cavity to oral, dental, and ENT anomalies and their effects on speech, resonance, and feeding are covered. The evaluation section includes the perceptual evaluation of speech and resonance, the intraoral examination, and instrumental assessment procedures. The treatment section includes surgical procedures, prosthetic devices, and therapies designed to address speech, resonance, and velopharyngeal dysfunction. The need for multidisciplinary team assessment and treatment is also emphasized throughout.

I have been teaching a graduate course in cleft palate and craniofacial anomalies for 20+ years. I am thrilled with Dr. Kummer's text. Students love it! It has a strong research base, but the information has excellent clinical application and is very readable with many case studies. Although it is geared toward speech-language pathologists, its multi-disciplinary orientation would make it a useful resource for any member of a cleft palate team. The information is complex enough to be useful to an experienced team member, yet the novice reader is given sufficient background information to be able to grow with the text. Exceptionally thorough and highly recommended!
I use this textbook as the main text for my graduate course in Orofacial Anomalies at the University of Missouri-ColumbiaIt provides an outstanding overview of all aspects of assessment and treatment for the child with cleft lip/palate,velopharyngeal dysfunction and/or craniofacial syndromes. Excellent overview of state of the art team care. Very reader friendly, this text provides excellent summaries of key issues and comes with a CD-ROM, providing real-life video samples of assessment and treatment. I highly recommend this textbook.
Love this book. This is a great reference for any SLP working with students with resonance disorders. After reading the text, I have a better understanding of what can and can not be addressed through speech therapy. I have had this book for six years and continue to use it throughout the school year. Its a keeper!
This text is exceptional! I would highly recommend this textbook to any clinician working with children who have hypernasal speech/ VPI. It has proven to be the most USEFUL textbook I've ever had...let's just say this one is NOT sitting on my shelf collecting dust! It was so thoughtful of Dr. Kummer to include video examples of key issues related to VPI. I am so happy I purchased this text and found the price to be very reasonable considering everything it has to offer. Buy it, you'll be glad you did!
The book was exactly what i needed to do well in my class. It was the exact updated version of the original book.
This textbook was written very well. The author does a great job explaining different concepts in language that is easy to read and understand. Alongside the textbook, the author was my professor. She lectured directly in-sync with the book and provided wonderful visual and auditory examples that facilitated the learning process. Most textbooks are expensive but this one is worth the price.
This book is easy to read and follow. It is very well written and a great resource for anyone working on a craniofacial team or who is in the medical profession. The book covers many topics with a great research base. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested!
Timeless and easy to follow intorduction to craniofacial anomalies. CD also helpful in training clinical ear to hear speech and resonance disorders.Shipped and arrived I timely fashion..
