Course Information

Course Description | Robyn’s SMILE Program (SysteMatic Intervention for Lingual Elevation) is an effective way to help children remediate articulation errors including persistent lisps, interdentalized productions of t-d-l-n-s-z, and distortions of s-z-∫-t∫-dʒ-ʒ. The program targets the root of the speech problem which is often an orofacial myofunctional disorder (OMD). Robyn discovered in a school-based setting that by combining oral placement, swallowing and articulation therapies progress rates improved. Participants learn how to perform a thorough structural assessment and determine if an OMD is present. This one-day seminar differentiates therapeutic strategies for <4 and >4 populations for the best prognosis. SMILE manual is included with the course.

Event Information

Learning Outcomes | Participants will be able to: 

  1. Diagnose myofunctional disorders based on oral placement skills/swallowing skills/articulation skills.
  2. List defining characteristics of a myofunctional disorder.
  3. Identify if oral-motor prerequisite skills are intact in order to initiate myofunctional therapy techniques (Jaw-structure-tone).
  4. Analyze treatment outcomes throughout the therapeutic process.
  5. Combine oral placement, swallowing and articulation therapy techniques for those children who present myofunctional disorders.
  6. Implement at least ten exercises for a tongue thrust program.
