Transforming Lives: Early Speech and Language Development in Children with Cleft Lip/Palate

Join us for our Transforming Lives Webinar Series: Early Speech and Language Development in Children with Cleft Lip/Palate

This webinar will explore how a cleft palate can affect early speech and language development, and strategies you can use at home to help your child progress. You will also have the opportunity to ask live questions during the question-and-answer portion of the program.
