I have been teaching a graduate course in cleft palate and craniofacial anomalies for 20+ years. I am thrilled with Dr. Kummer's text. Students love it! It has a strong research base, but the information has excellent clinical application and is very readable with many case studies. Although it is geared toward speech-language pathologists, its multi-disciplinary orientation would make it a useful resource for any member of a cleft palate team. The information is complex enough to be useful to an experienced team member, yet the novice reader is given sufficient background information to be able to grow with the text. Exceptionally thorough and highly recommended!

The book was exactly what i needed to do well in my class. It was the exact updated version of the original book.

This textbook was written very well. The author does a great job explaining different concepts in language that is easy to read and understand. Alongside the textbook, the author was my professor. She lectured directly in-sync with the book and provided wonderful visual and auditory examples that facilitated the learning process. Most textbooks are expensive but this one is worth the price.

This book is easy to read and follow. It is very well written and a great resource for anyone working on a craniofacial team or who is in the medical profession. The book covers many topics with a great research base. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested!

This text is exceptional! I would highly recommend this textbook to any clinician working with children who have hypernasal speech/ VPI. It has proven to be the most USEFUL textbook I've ever had...let's just say this one is NOT sitting on my shelf collecting dust! It was so thoughtful of Dr. Kummer to include video examples of key issues related to VPI. I am so happy I purchased this text and found the price to be very reasonable considering everything it has to offer. Buy it, you'll be glad you did!

Book arrived a day earlier than expected delivery. Book was in excellent condition and even included the cd. I was very pleased. Would definitely order from them again.

This is a nice reference to introduce you general issues, anatomic structures, and therapeutic and surgical techniques involved in the care of patients with craniofacial anomalies.
