This workshop will discuss how altered biomechanics resulting in oral motor dysfunction can be differentiated from compensatory body mechanics as a result of TOTS. It will also describe the role specific manual therapy can play in optimizing function by addressing overt or compensatory biomechanical dysfunction and optimizing outcomes of other therapeutic interventions.
 

Participants will be able to: 

• Describe how biomechanics can affect oral motor development
• Outline compensatory body mechanics in clients with TOTs diagnosis
• Understand the role of manual therapy as part of an integrated therapy plan
