Maging Kabahagi sa Ngiti!

Speech therapy is an important component of comprehensive cleft care. By having access to speech therapy, cleft patients are able to speak clearly, communicate effectively, and gain confidence.

We welcome speech-language pathologists to join our growing number of speech therapy partners. Reach out to us today to know more!

We have an invitation from Smile Train (http://www.smiletrain.org/), an international children’s charity dedicated to addressing a single, solvable condition: cleft lip and palate.

Smile Train envisions a world where every person has access to high-quality, comprehensive cleft care and the opportunity to live a full and healthy life. To achieve this, they partner with organizations that share this vision: improving access to life-saving cleft treatments and comprehensive services that empower children to eat, breathe, speak, and thrive.

Beyond free cleft surgeries, Smile Train also prioritizes non-surgical interventions including speech services, which are essential for every child’s communication and quality of life.

In this light, Smile Train appeals to our members, speech-language pathologists with a heart for service, to consider joining them in their mission to transform the lives of individuals with cleft conditions. Your expertise and compassion can make an immeasurable difference in the journeys of children and families who deserve every chance at a brighter future.

For inquiries and further details about Smile Train’s programs and partnerships, you may reach out directly to their team.

Together, let us continue to live out our advocacy for accessible, quality speech and language services for every Filipino family.

Capping off Cleft Month last July, Smile Train proudly supported the Noordhoff Cleft Forum 2025, organized by our partner Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation Philippines, Inc..

The second day of the forum featured the keynote address of Dr. Monica Dominguez, Smile Train Director for Global Oral Health Programs, and the informative session of Dr. Marta Mejia, member of the Smile Train South American Medical Advisory Council, as well as other experts supporting the cleft community in the Philippines.

By supporting learning opportunities such as the Noordhoff Cleft Forum, Smile Train aims to further expand knowledge and strengthen capabilities among those who serve people with cleft.
