What materials should I include in a typical Pathfinder packet?
One word of caution...don't overwhelm new parents! Information is wonderful, but too much, too soon is not recommended. The most important things right now are:
Congratulations!
Team and Local Information

AmeriFace and/or cleftAdvocate Brochure
Your Pathfinder Contact Information (Order Cards)
A Buddy Contact
On-line Resources
Cleft Palate Foundation

Recommended materials include medical team referrals, feeding, surgery and genetics information.
