Welcome to The Cleft Crew

I am grateful for the journey of growing up with a cleft. It taught my family so much about resilience and empathy. It shaped who I became as a speech pathologist. But as a kid, I grew up in a small town and didn't know any other members of the cleft community. Meeting other cleft affected individuals as an adult always feels like meeting family. By coordinating regular Cleft Crew meetups I hope to help support the borderland cleft community. Where families can connect and share their experiences, and kids can see others just like them.
