6. A COLLABORATIVE CARE PROGRAM FOR SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS
This session describes an innovative collaborative care program, in which the community and team SLPs, with the patient and parent, participate in joint listening tasks, develop treatment plans, discuss therapy techniques, and share ideas. The community SLP receives ASHA CEUs, the parent becomes a partner in the child's therapy, and the time spent is billable for the team SLP. Objective: Participants will describe the process of producing their own collaborative care program. (V, L)

7. OROPHARYNGEAL ANOMALIES: EFFECTS ON SPEECH AND RESONANCE
Speech and resonance can be affected by various oral anomalies, pharyngeal anomalies and malocclusion. Structural anomalies can result in obligatory errors (where the function is normal but the presence of the anomaly itself causes speech distortion) or compensatory errors (where function changes in response to the structure). Differential diagnosis is important so that treatment can be managed appropriately and family members can be given the right information to form realistic expectations. (I, L)

8. PREVENTION OF DENTAL CARIES THROUGH CRANIOFACIAL TEAM FLUORIDE VARNISH PROGRAMS
This eye opener session will educate craniofacial team members and coordinators about the scientific evidence base supporting topical fluoride varnish applications for preventing dental caries in children. Registrants will learn how to apply fluoride varnish in children with craniofacial differences. A state-by-state review of reimbursement policies for its use in non-dental offices will be addressed. Registrants will foster their knowledge of how to start fluoride varnish programs in their cleft and craniofacial teams. (I, L)
Jeffrey Karp, DMD, MS, Alvin Amante, DMD, John Girotto, MD

7:00am
9. EAR MOLDING: NONSURGICAL CORRECTION OF AURICULAR DEFORMITIES
Congenital deformation of one or both auricles is a relatively frequent phenomenon. Nonsurgical correction of auricular deformities by splinting may be attempted in the neonatal period with excellent results, no discomfort, and minimal expense. The etiology, types, and treatment of auricular deformities will be reviewed. The aim of this presentation is to discuss the utility of nonsurgical correction of mild to moderate ear deformities and how this service can be offered by a cleft-craniofacial team. (V, L)
Lisa Vecchione, DMD

7:00am
10. THE NORTH THAMES CLEFT CENTRE PROTOCOL FOR CLEFT CARE
The North Thames Cleft Centre, based at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London, has a well-established protocol which differs in many features from most centres in North America. Extensive outcome studies have demonstrated results for speech and maxillary growth which compare favourably with other centres. The protocol and rationale will be presented by team members for discussion. (V, P)
