G. APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT OF CLEFT PALATE AND COMMUNICATIVE DISORDERS
The prosthetic treatment of patients with cleft palate and craniofacial conditions are an important part of the multidisciplinary approach to solving a variety of problems related to speech and appearance. In some cases, even after surgical intervention to repair the cleft palate, speech and swallowing may not be completely restored. A prosthodontist engaged in treating craniofacial team patients with oral, facial, and speech deficits will discuss the physiologic indications for appliances and the principles involved in prosthetic management.

H. UNDERSTANDING AND MEETING THE PSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDS OF PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES: SO MUCH TO DO AND SO LITTLE TIME TO DO IT IN!
An important part of any patient's craniofacial care involves an assessment of the psychosocial needs of the patient and family. Resources available to understand these issues are often limited. At this session, strategies will be reviewed that can be helpful in systematizing how this is done. All providers can benefit from this session that will increase the opportunities to enhance patient satisfaction while also improving access to care and decreasing it's burden. (V, L)

I. TEAM MANAGEMENT OF VELOPHARYNGEAL DYSFUNCTION: A DIFFICULT CASE STUDY SESSION
Several authors have discussed the difficulty in managing patients with atypical causes and presentations of velopharyngeal inadequacy for speech. The purpose of this study session is to allow team members (audience/participants/ authors) to fully participate in an active discussion of solutions for most difficult cases of VPI. The authors and participants will present cases that have challenged various members of their team and engage all attendees in discussion. Participants will be able to identify and integrate transdisciplinary diagnostic information to identify several options for treatment. (V,P)

J. NASOALVEOLAR MOLDING AND PRESURGICAL COLUMELLA ELONGATION IN UNILATERAL AND BILATERAL CLEFTS OF THE LIP ALVEOLUS AND PALATE
It is anticipated that the attendees will acquire increased understanding of nasoalveolar molding: the clinical method, benefits, limitations, literature and long-term research findings. The student will be able to articulate the differences in method, objectives and outcomes between traditional presurgical infant orthopedics and nasoalveolar molding. (V, L)
