Yes, in some ways, but in most ways no, they’re not. The issues lie in the fact that fundamentally the two functions couldn’t be more different. If you think of the act of speaking as a continuous series of complex, agile, sprightly oral movements, then comparatively the act of swallowing is a compact, more muscularly effortful short series of oral movements. Swallowing has fewer components than speaking. And one totally unique swallowing component, if omitted from our therapy, can actually diminish therapeutic success--it’s that important. Therefore, in addition to need-to-know comparative components, you’ll learn details to implement sequential therapy for the oral stage of swallowing, as well how to interpret the influential factors of cranio-facial bone growth, oral hard tissue and soft tissue, respiratory factors, oral habits, and the correlation of the oral resting posture. Oh yeah, the mouth is a crossroads of characteristics and challenges--but that’s what makes swallowing therapy so very enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearning Outcomes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe participant will be able to:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSummarize the foundations of swallowing and speaking functions: stabilization, mobilization, and resting posture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDescribe the components of normal and abnormal swallowing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eList at least three “obstacles” that can impede the swallowing sequence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDescribe the process of therapy: from building oral capability through carryover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTimed Agenda\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 minutes -- Overview \u0026amp; Intro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 minutes -- The foundations of speaking and swallowing; critical components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 minutes -- Analysis of the cranio-facial-oral-respiratory systems; potential obstacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 minutes -- Swallowing therapy: capability tasks, swallow acquisition, and generalization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 minutes -- Q\u0026amp;A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContent Disclosure: This presentation will focus on treatment methods related to the use of TalkTools® resources.
