Cleft care doesn't end after the first few surgeries—it grows alongside your child. The tween and teen years bring new milestones, from permanent teeth and orthodontics to speech changes, confidence and preparing for adulthood. That's why expert, team-based care is so important every step of the way. At Shriners Children's, specialists work together to provide personalized care that evolves with each child. Whether it's carefully timing procedures, supporting nutrition and speech or helping teens build confidence, every decision is made with the whole child in mind. As Rachel Hogan, MA, CCC-SLP, explains, "Cleft care really evolves as kids grow—and no two journeys are the same, especially in the tween and teen years." #ShrinersChildrens #Cleft Lip #CleftPalate #TeensandTweens
