Also covered will be content relating to the mouth, tongue, and chest wall. The evidence and science that explains and validates this work will be reviewed, as well as the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, and corresponding muscle groups it supports. The majority of the course will be spent on supervised hands-on practice to develop comfort and expertise in performing these techniques for patients with specific types of voice disorders, dysphagia, head and neck cancer rehabilitation, and issues surrounding the jaw, mouth, and tongue. Unlike many manual therapy seminars, this work moves beyond narrow tissue-specific-based systems and looks at the cascade of possibilities, from local impact through central nervous system and brain impacts. In keeping with the 3 basic aspects of the evidence-based practice model, all of the work is framed from a patient-led perspective. Course content is appropriate for those with no previous experience using manual therapy, as well as clinicians with manual therapy experience.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearning Outcomes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe participant will be able to:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Understand the basic structural elements of the nervous system as it corresponds to the neck region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefine manual therapy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply 2 manual therapy techniques in a speech and\/or feeding therapy session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimed Agenda\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 min -- Central nervous system anatomy and physiology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 min -- What is manual therapy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 min -- How manual therapy applies to speech and feeding therapy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 min -- Demonstration of manual therapy session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 min -- Manual therapy techniques review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1545\/7007\/files\/asha_intro_.1_2ecee973-9a21-4f77-8ed8-b438768a9cbf_480x480.png?v=1621968123\" width=\"350\" height=\"67\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContent Disclosure: This presentation will focus on treatment methods related to the use of TalkTools® resources.
