In 2020 ASHA started requiring universities to teach their students about OMDs yet therapists are left confused between the variations of oral motor, pre-feeding, NSOE and orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT), or “MYO”, as it is often called.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first step in understanding OMDs is to understand normal oral sensory-motor development and the neurotypical orofacial complex. Since OMT is traditionally implemented above the age of four, some therapists are left confused about what to do for early signs and symptoms of OMDs in the under 4 populations or for those children who have special needs. Robyn’s research paper in 2020 published in the International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy (IJOM), aimed to debunk confusion regarding OMT with the 0-4 and special needs populations and explained the variations between passive and volitional activities.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis course is new and improved with the research Robyn has completed from her paper. She will discuss how monitoring oral health and mouth development in addition to early intervention of oral motor dysfunction in infant, babies and toddlers can help prevent future OMD challenges. Through the implementation of pre-feeding, feeding and oral placement therapies, OMDs such as prolonged thumb sucking, and open mouth posture may be prevented. Evidenced based resources will help guide therapists toward new strategies immediately. This course is helpful for IBCLCs, occupational therapists, physical therapists, physicians, SLPs and dentists.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eLearning Outcomes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants will be able to identify at least three signs and symptoms of oral dysfunction in the 0-3 population.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants will be able to list three ways to assist children ages 0-3 follow typical oral motor development norms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants will be able to list at least two oral motor specialist approved mouth \"tools\" that promote desirable mouth development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1545\/7007\/files\/AARE_Brand_Block_-_Color_Long-Introductory_0.2_CEUs_480x480.jpg?v=1609175724\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eContent Disclosure: This presentation will focus on treatment methods related to the use of TalkTools® resources.
