In some cases, a structural anomaly results in functional challenges and in other cases atypical oral habits and dysfunctional muscle-based skills result in undesirable structural changes. From infants struggling to nurse due to a tongue tie, to children with open bites caused by thumb sucking, OMDs affect patients across the lifespan. Knowing how to assess these disorders accurately is the first step toward effective treatment.\u003cbr\u003eJoin internationally recognized clinician and educator Robyn Merkel-Walsh for an evidence based practical course that will transform the way you evaluate OMDs. Using her signature 4 MYODomains™ framework of airway, feeding\/swallowing, structure, and speech, Robyn breaks down the assessment process with clarity, depth, and clinical relevance. You’ll learn how to collect and interpret case history, dental and medical records, and how to examine the craniofacial and oral-motor systems to create individualized, evidence-informed treatment plans.\u003cbr\u003eThis course goes beyond theory. Through step-by-step guidance, live practicums, and visuals, you’ll walk away with the MYOTools™ you need to start applying your knowledge in the clinic the very next day. Part of the MYOTools® series, this course pairs perfectly with levels 101 and 102, but for more advance clinicians this is not a requirement. Course content is based off Robyn’s MYOSolutions, an OMD manual for speech-language pathologists, but it’s also appropriate for other licensed professionals who assess and treat OMDs such as dentists, registered dental hygienists, and occupational therapists\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-de0b308d-7fff-a310-d008-3d2340a99985\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOTE: Assessing Oral Structures 101 is a pre-requisite, and is included as a self-study module in the price of the course. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLearning Outcomes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParticipants will be able to: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eList at least 3 topics that are necessary to assess in a case history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eState the pre-requisites a patient must possess during an assessment, to initiate an orofacial myology protocol.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDescribe what sounds\/phonemes should be tested during an orofacial myofunctional assessment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDescribe at least 3 reasons why a patient should be referred to an otolaryngologist (ENT) from an OMD assessment data.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"TalkTools","offers":[{"title":"Registration Only \/ MYOSolutions 2523","offer_id":55598656258216,"sku":"00110-WSPB","price":310.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Registration Only \/ No Practicum","offer_id":55598656290984,"sku":"00110-WS","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1545\/7007\/files\/30MinuteArticulationLessonsforOrganicSSDsfortheBusySLP.png?v=1753802080","url":"https:\/\/talktools.com\/products\/myotools-103-comprehensive-assessment-of-omds-copy","provider":"TalkTools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
