Need a refresher on clefts?
Check out our two-part series, with current evidence and resources to help you get started with high-quality assessment and therapy techniques for kids with cleft palate.
Part 1 is free to read and share and includes a visual explanation of velopharyngeal dysfunction, an assessment outline and checklist, a cleft speech characteristics references sheet, and a consonant inventory form. At-- https://t.co/GBQufUvVPa
In Part 2 we discuss treatment goals, approaches, and strategies. We also look at the evidence about progress monitoring, dosage, and intensity of treatment. Included in this part is a printable air paddle to help with screening nasal emission and visual feedback of oral airflow. At-- https://t.co/EyVMEWOf0x

[UVA School of Education and Human Development @UVAEdu]

UVA researchers use imaging, 3D visualization and machine learning to address speech difficulties for children with cleft lip and palate.

We asked assistant professor @KazlinMason about the latest technologies. #NationalCleftAndCraniofacialAwarenessMonth

Kennedy Wilkins struggled to find her place as a first-year during COVID. But time spent caring for her grandmother helped her find both her home at UVA and her future career.

Join us in celebrating Kennedy!
