This book, with an educational and practical aim, addresses orofacial clefts and in particular the Robin sequence, because they are rich in lessons on the development of the face but also on the early care of the orofacial sphere. They open the way to an integrative and systemic approach which places the lingual organ at the heart of sensorimotor dynamics. The author develops a clinical reading grid allowing to refine the understanding of oral disorders. In young children, she shows the parallel construction of verbal orality and food orality, as well as their role as guides in the development of all sensorialities through the proprioceptive, visual, auditory, olfactory and gustatory systems.
