Orofacial Myology: Skills for Successful Treatment

Description

This course gives an overview of orofacial myology and its benefits for the progress and habituation of clients seen on a daily basis. Some clients remain in therapy month after month, showing no noticeable progress. Others progress far too slowly and plateau long before attaining their goals. Weak lip closure, poor suctioning skills, difficulty forming an acceptable bolus, digit sucking habits, mouth breathing,
enlarged tonsils, tongue tie, certain orthodontic appliances, and other conditions frequently interfere with progress. These often seen but rarely targeted areas are presented in this two day course. Sandra Holtzman peppers her
presentations with humor, passion, and an emphasis on the importance of drawing out the best in each client.
