[Print Replica] [Kindle Edition] from mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link CLEFT PALATE & CRANIOFACIAL ANOMALIES: EFFECTS ON SPEECH AND RESONANCE 3E is the only book of its kind to cover both oral and facial anomalies, as well as cleft palate. Designed as a how-to guide for the practicing clinician, this book emphasizes what students need to know in the workplace to evaluate and treat individuals with speech disorders related to structural anomalies. Common craniofacial anomalies, associated anomalies, and genetic syndromes are also included. There is basic information on anatomy, physiology, and embryology of the face and oral cavity. The book covers how oral, dental, and ENT anomalies affect speech, resonance, and feeding. The evaluation section includes practical information on how to conduct a perceptual evaluation of speech and resonance and an intraoral examination. An overview chapter on instrumental procedures is provided for students, and chapters on how to perform and interpret these procedures is provided for clinicians. The treatment section includes surgical procedures and the use of prosthetic devices. Specific speech-therapy techniques are described for the treatment of speech errors associated with resonance disorders and velopharyngeal dysfunction. The need for multidisciplinary team assessment and treatment is also stressed. This book is easy to read to maximize learning. Many quality illustrative videos and video case studies are used to provide practical knowledge on how to evaluate and treat affected individuals.

This is an excellent text that raises the bar for communication disorders textbooks and accompanying materials. The writing style is transparent and easy to follow for both students and professionals. The information is comprehensive, including background/basics, evidence-based detail, and clinical tips.The supplemental materials are exactly what students and instructors need; thoughtfully organized "cleft notes;" PPT lectures with the right amount of information, quiz examples, and, for students, (not sure if available via amazon or just via publisher?) the extensive video bank for clinical cases (face tapes, endoscopic and fluoroscopic exams, etc) is essential.

CLEFT PALATE & CRANIOFACIAL ANOMALIES: EFFECTS ON SPEECH AND RESONANCE 3E is an exceptional textbook. I've been teaching in the field for over three decades, and heartily endorse Dr. Kummer's stellar and comprehensive work. My graduate students greatly enjoyed the text, and lauded its long-term clinical utility. The accompanying materials are excellent. Ellen R. Cohn, PhD
