I am a Speech-Language Pathologist at a hospital in the
Chicagoland area. I currently have a 3 year old male with a
repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate. He is doing well with
speech and language development, however, he will be entering
preschool this fall and his parents are very concerned re: his
social life with peers in school. He is a very confident child
and they do not want him to loose any confidence in himself. Are
there any support groups for them in the Chicagoland area? How
can I find out? What information can I give them to help. Thank
you. My e-mail address is tasummers@ameritech.net.
