Orofacial Myology for SLPs: Skills for Successful Treatment

Description

This course focuses on many of the areas that affect the progress and habituation of clients seen on a daily basis. Some clients remain in therapy month after month, showing no noticeable progress. Others progress far too slowly and plateau long before attaining their goals. Weak lip closure, poor suctioning skills, difficulty forming an acceptable bolus, digit sucking habits, mouth breathing, enlarged tonsils, tongue tie, and other conditions are likely to interfere with progress. These often seen but rarely targeted areas are presented in this two day course. Sandra Holtzman peppers her presentations with humor, passion, and an emphasis on the importance of drawing out the best in each client.
