The Mission of cleftAdvocate is to educate and
inspire families whose lives are touched
by cleft lip and/or palate or other craniofacial anomalies.
By providing educational opportunities,
on- and off-line support networks,
social interaction and advocacy guidelines,
cleftAdvocate gives families the tools they need
to obtain the absolute best medical care
from their cleft/craniofacial team and
the best service from their insurer,
while encouraging children, teens and adults
with cleft lip and/or palate
and other craniofacial anomalies
to reach their highest level of self-esteem.
cleftAdvocate promotes
understanding and respect
within a *person first* protocol.
