It provided very practical information for treating a child with cleft/palate. It gave a straight forward list of some very important dos and don'ts and provided a good starting place for therapists who may not have a lot of experience in this area.

Great presentation concerning CP and VPD. Presenter gave great clinical examples of how clinicians and families, in concert with the craniofacial team, can work together to improve child's articulation difficulties. I liked that she discussed specific elicitation techniques. I did however, find the buzzer response options to questions (clapping, ringing, buzzing) distracting.

I really enjoyed listening to the instructor. She was very articulate and has a calming voice. I especially liked that she showed what to listen for before showing the video, then went through the video a second time and explained what was heard. I also liked that she had a video example of nasendoscopy that was explained.

I liked that the presenter spoke slowly as she was explaining things, giving the listener (me) a chance to process new information. The video of Kelly was also helpful to watch, since the presenter analyzed Kelly's speech for the listener, so it was more obvious what children with VPD sound like.

Cleft palate clinic was such a great learning experience and getting to see Dr. Cuadros work with all those wonderful families was such a joy and inspiration. Makes me miss school! :)
