The Cleft Palate Foundation provides referrals to patient-parent support groups throughout the country. Adults with clefts may wish to join such a group to meet other adults with similar concerns. In addition, adults with clefts can provide valuable assistance as role models for younger individuals with clefts and their families. Membership in the patient-parent support group also can provide an opportunity for the adult with a cleft to advocate for better insurance coverage and state and federal programs for others with similar problems.
