Parents
Our Fact sheets contain useful information for parents relating to your child's school years, and are an introduction to the psychology, orthodontics and speech and language therapy services
.
CLAPA would like to thank the hospital teams, parents and teachers who contributed to these Fact sheets.
The ‘About Me' document is designed for parents to complete and give to their child's teacher / SENCO each year. If you would like to provide your child's teacher with more detailed information about cleft lip and/or palate please contact us for a free copy of our publication Children Born with Cleft Lip and Palate: The School Years.
