If you’ve learned the news of a cleft or craniofacial diagnosis—whether it’s for your baby or your baby on-the-way—you are not alone. Help and support are available. And you’ve come to the right place to learn more.

To learn about cleft lip and cleft palate, start right here. We’ll take you through the entire cleft journey, from the prenatal period through infancy, childhood, the teenage years, and beyond.

To learn about other conditions—such syndromes or differences that involve the skull or face, whether common or rare—take a look at our information on craniofacial conditions.

If you are a parent, an expectant parent, a family member, a loved one, or a person affected by a cleft or craniofacial condition, welcome. We at ACPA are here for information and support.
