Each chapter provides an in-depth discussion of the treatment approach, includes case studies, and explores cultural considerations. There is also a chapter that presents guidelines for a clinician to use in the evaluation of treatment research.

This text can also be used in an academic setting as a supplemental text for cleft palate/craniofacial courses or a clinical resource for clinical supervisors and graduate students.
