The program targets the root of the speech problem which is often an orofacial myofunctional disorder (OMD). Robyn discovered in a school-based setting that by combining oral placement, swallowing and articulation therapies progress rates improved. Participants learn how to perform a thorough structural assessment and determine if an OMD is present. This one-day seminar differentiates therapeutic strategies for \u0026lt;4 and \u0026gt;4 populations for the best prognosis. SMILE manual is included with the course.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eLearning Outcomes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants will be able to diagnose myofunctional disorders based on oral placement skills\/swallowing skills\/articulation skills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants will be able to list defining characteristics of a myofunctional disorder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants will be able to determine if oral-motor prerequisite skills are intact in order to initiate myofunctional therapy techniques (Jaw-structure-tone).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants will be able to measure treatment outcomes throughout the therapeutic process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants will be able to combine oral placement, swallowing and articulation therapy techniques for those children who present myofunctional disorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants will be able to implement at least ten exercises for a tongue thrust program. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Tongue Thrust\" course is an interactive, hands-on workshop.
