LEVELS TRAINING PROGRAM: LEVEL 1 COURSE REQUIREMENT

Course Description

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 proprioceptive -- 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 appropriately assess oral placement/feeding/speech problems based on muscle systems.
  • Participants will be able to integrate hierarchies for motor dissociation and grading (jaw-lips-tongue).
  • Participants will be able to plan programs of therapeutic intervention to address physiological and motor-based speech disorders.
  • Participants will be able to apply at least 10 new therapy techniques.
  • Participants will be able to properly use oral placement techniques to improve individual speech clarity and production.

In Lori’s updated Sensory/Motor Approach to Feeding class, the complex issues surrounding feeding disorders are discussed. The class reflects new research and understanding of sensory processing and the impact on feeding.

Pre-feeding exercises designed to develop the motor skills for safe, effective, nutritive feeding and therapeutic feeding techniques are targeted.

The class includes two live evaluations and program plans, as well as interactive sensory and feeding practicums.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to: 

  • Identify and define the developmental acquisition of feeding skills.

  • Identify individual oral-phase feeding deficiencies.

  • List at least four goals of an SLP-administered oral-motor feeding program.

  • Explain the benefits of improved oral movement in cases of oral-phase feeding deficiencies.
