Course Description
The American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) published a Practice Portal on Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD) in 2018. The portal suggests that when assessing an OMD, the clinician “will assess structural differences or abnormalities (e.g., proportion and symmetry) of the orofacial complex (including face, nose, eyes, ears, mouth, skull, and profile)” (Asha, n.d.). The portal also outlines the assessment of soft tissue, frena, dentition, airway space and the tonsils.
Robyn has been teaching introductory and advanced courses in orofacial myology for over 25 years. This MYOTools series course will use Robyn’s structural assessment form to help participants (SLPs, OTs, RDHs) analyze the orofacial complex with specific associations to functional implications for breathing, eating and speaking. Participants will be quizzed in an interactive visual experience.
Robyn’s take away structural screening and assessment MYOTools takeaways can be used with clients, patients, and students that very same day. Whether you are new to orofacial myofunctional and craniofacial disorders or need a refresher, reviewing the functional implications of structural abnormalities will help you take a new look at your caseload and what may be needed to boost progress.
