Event Information

Course Description

In MYOTools 101 the foundation for improved airway health, sleep, oral resting posture, feeding and speech was learned with the MYOScreener tools for assessment and beginners were trained to start recognizing orofacial myofunctional students and patients on their own caseloads.

 

In MYOTools 102, we will take a deeper dive into the form function balance and participants will  learn how to start incorporating strategies into therapeutic practice. With Robyn’s extensive background in feeding, oral placement and orofacial myofunctional therapy, she has a unique approach to targeting the 4 MYODomains of Airway, Structure, Feeding and Speech across the lifespan. Learn techniques that you can immediately use in your practice such as massage to support open nasal passageways,  scent training for nasal breathing, the Sensi Tool for oral placement targets,  mastication strategies , bolus collection  and more. Each domain will be supported by internal and external evidence.

 

NOTE: MYOTools 101 is not a requirement but is recommended. Therapists may take these courses in any order or as a compliment to other courses in orofacial myology. This course focuses on specific MYO techniques and is therefore recommended for speech-language pathologists and registered dental hygienists, unless outside the USA where other professionals practice OMT. 

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to: 

  1. Participants will be able to describe 2 techniques for improving nasal breathing.
  2. Participants will be able to apply 2 tactile cues to stimulate improved tongue tip elevation for speech and swallowing.
  3. Participants will be able to show at least two evidence-based studies that support the use of oral myofunctional therapy.

Our clinic (Horizon Pediatric) collaborated with AT Still University to have Lori Overland in for a Feeding conference a few years ago. I would enjoy another collaboration for learning.

In virtual format, the demonstrations were great but small because the slides for the presentation were primary and the speaker was very small in the corner of the screen--when offering virtual via a platform like Zoom and demonstrations are involved, the speaker setting needs to be so the speaker and slides are side by side (same size as each other) or the speaker needs to be the larger portion and the slides the smaller portion during the demonstrations.

Information in MyoTools 102 was very repetitive from 101. Felt as though it could've been done in one day, wish there were more hands on therapeutic techniques shown.

The course was very comprehensive and interesting—especially since the instructor is one of the most highly qualified professionals in the field; it was an honor to learn directly from her.

Today's course repeated a lot of information from Myo 101 which was a negative for me. Too much research cited which took time away from therapy techniques.
