"Designed to meet the educational needs of families of children with clefts, this book contains chapters written in layperson language that mirror a corresponding chapter in the professional text. The book contains several useful features for families, including a glossary, a timeline for cleft care, and a condensed, lay interpretation of the Parameters of Care.
