Course Description

LEVELS TRAINING PROGRAM: LEVEL 1 COURSE REQUIREMENT

This introductory course to OPT (Oral Placement Therapy) is the foundation for TalkTools training and is integrated throughout all of our courses. OPT is a type of oral-motor therapy that targets specific movements needed for speech and feeding. The "3 parts" of OPT are: auditory and visual sensory systems COMBINED WITH tactile -- and propioceptive -- sensory systems. TalkTools training applies a unique, hierarchical approach to OPT, focused on a measurable, results-driven path for both therapists and clients across all ages and diagnoses with the goal of:

speech clarity
improved feeding
independence
improved QUALITY OF LIFE

This interactive, hands-on course includes highly motivating activities targeting the abdomen, velum, jaw, lips and tongue. Techniques learned can be readily implemented across many therapy environments -- private practices, hospitals, schools and home.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

Assess oral placement/feeding/speech problems based on muscle systems.
Integrate hierarchies for motor dissociation and grading (jaw-lips-tongue).
Formulate programs of therapeutic intervention to address physiological and motor-based speech disorders.
Apply at least 10 new therapy techniques.
Demonstrate oral placement techniques to improve individual speech clarity and production.

Thank you very much forYour effort and effort.

Excellent! Watch this if you're interested in any of the techniques!

What an excellent course! This presentation really solidified the order in which I should choose treatment techniques, the rationale for choosing each technique, and how to analyze the usefulness of each technique for the client. There were many "aha!" moments, even thought I have taken video courses for most of the individual techniques. It was an honor to watch a presentation by Sarah herself, who I'm sure will continue to be remembered as the field progresses and comes to see how valuable her methods of task analyzing and targeting specific muscles are!

This course was very informative and helpful and as a speech language pathologist it is highly recommended to take this course.

Thank you

Amazing coursework

I’m very happy and so excited for that information and practice
It open to me a big gate to learn more about opt
But I woundered if any supplies will shipped to me
But anyway I’m glad to who created that coursework

3-Part Treatment Plan for OPT™

This course by Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson was incredibly helpful, providing valuable insights into working with children who do not show progress with traditional therapy. It emphasized the critical connection between feeding skills, speech development, and expressive language, offering a fresh perspective on intervention strategies. I learned how targeting oral-motor and feeding abilities can significantly impact speech clarity and language outcomes. The approach of using tactile-proprioceptive input to support speech production was particularly eye-opening. This course has given me a clearer direction in therapy, equipping me with practical techniques to enhance progress in children struggling with conventional methods.
