Our faces literally come together as we develop, and cleft palate will really show you why. Cleft palate is a condition in which a baby is born with a gap in their lip or in their palate in the roof of the mouth, connecting the mouth and the nose. youtube.com/shorts/QdLF5...

ADVOCACY A decade of advocacy delivers: Medicare expanded for speech pathology After more than 10 years of sustained advocacy, SPA has secured a landmark reform that will significantly improve access to speech pathology services for children and young people across Australia. This change will come into effect from 1 March, with the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) M10 group expanding to include stuttering, speech sound disorders, and cleft lip and/or palate, enabling Medicare-rebated assessment and treatment for eligible children and young people under 25.

mRNA injection phenotypes in zebrafish larvae. (A) Representative lateral view images of 5 dpf zebrafish larvae following mRNA injection experiments (3.2× magnification). Control embryos show normal development while EHHADH and 1 variants exhibit progressive phenotypic severity including unfilled swim bladder, tail curvature, and mandibular malformations. Combined mutations demonstrate synergistic effects with severe craniofacial malformations. Directional indicators: dorsal (D), ventral (V), anterior (A), posterior (P). (B) Quantitative phenotype distribution at 5 dpf.

One is a microtiarepair where I created an ear for a child born without one by carving cartilage I removed from his chest. This is a delicate process that takes about 4 hours. The other picture of one of my favorite little baby girl I performed a cleftlip repair on last year.

Like how do you just happen to get in an elevator (with your baby who needs a cleftlip repair) with the head of nose/ mouth/throat surgery at the best hospital in ny? Just one is those amazing life moments! He was like: so, uhh, when is your baby having surgery?

This week, we're working to raise $50,000 for our Cleft Surgery Fund so that when a parent arrives at a hospital with their child we can say an immediate and heartfelt YES to cleft repair surgery.

As of today, we've raised 35% of the total needed.
