Other factors that can also impact children with a history of cleft lip and palate are discussed, including ADHD and nonverbal learning disabilities. These issues likely reflect multiple factors including family/genetic factors, early developmental delays, oral-motor dysfunction, and underlying neurologic/developmental issues.
