title: Survey of publications for parents of cleft palate children: a preliminary report.
abstract: In summary, these findings indicate that the general quality of the publications for parents of cleft palate children is probably mediocre and that both parents and speech pathologists tend to agree on assessments to this effect. The publications which appear to be most widely used are not necessarily those which appear to be the best available. Attention needs to be given to the design and content of future parent publications which should probably be written with knowledge of the parents' changing concerns over time. Since parent publications are used by many professionals involved in clef palate habilitation and there is no information about their opinions of the quality of these publications, additional work on this problem is planned for the future.
