ACP-CPF: The american cleft palate-craniofacial foundation has an excellent web site with information about these disorders (http://www.Acpa-cpf.Org). Also, if there is a university hospital close to you, check there. These are usually handled through multispecialty clinics that bring a number of disciplines together to manage these patients. Good luck.

Go 4 a cleft team: Its best to be treated by a multidisciplinary team comprised of at least a speech therapist, plastic surgeon, dentist, oral surgeon, counselor/psychologist, orthodontist/prosthedontist to manage all aspects of this condition.

Children's hospitals: Most major metropolitan areas in the United States have a children's hospital. It is most common for these centers to have a cleft team, as it is a multi-specialty resource that provides the most comprehensive repair.
