Craniofacial Special Interest Group

The Craniofacial SIG consists of SPP members who share an interest in craniofacial conditions. The general goals of this SIG are to:

Increase awareness of craniofacial conditions among SPP members.

Facilitate communication, collaboration and consultation among members regarding providing care and education for children with craniofacial conditions and their families.

Facilitate collaboration on research addressing psychosocial issues associated with having a craniofacial condition.

Provide education opportunities and clinical materials for professionals (including continuing education for psychologists, non-psychologist members of craniofacial care teams, teachers and other school professionals), those in training (including graduate students, interns and post-doctoral students), and for families regarding the psychosocial issues associated with craniofacial conditions.

Serve as advocates for these children and their families.

Liaison with the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association.
