Description:
While oral-motor treatment approaches for neurologically
impaired children have focused on severe feeding dysfunction,
clinical work with children who have sensory processing/developmental
dysfunction has revealed a strong association between subtle
oral-motor and respiratory dysfunction and many sensory
integrative and sensorimotor problems.
A theoretical framework for understanding how and why
many aspects of development are significantly influenced
by oral functions will be presented. This discussion will
include the relationship of the suck/swallow/breathe synchrony
to behavior, learning, postural development, feeding, communication,
arousal, self-regulation, psychosocial development, visual/auditory
perception and even common health issues in children. The
relevance of this information to treatment principles with
children who have sensory processing/developmental dysfunction
will then be shared using slides, case examples and participant
lab activities. Documentation strategies for identifying
abnormal function and demonstrating change through treatment
will be provided. This information is particularly useful
for occupational and physical therapists and speech pathologists
working with children, but may be applied across the age
span.
The MORE book will be used at the course and may be ordered
with registration at a discount. MORE $37 (reg. $45); Out
of the Mouths of Babes (optional) $6 (reg. $7.25);
MORE DVD (optional) $35 (reg. $39).

Objectives:
Participants will be able to
1. Outline and discuss the relationship of the suck/swallow/breathe
synchrony to critical aspects of development.
2. Identify and document subtle, abnormal SSB processes
in children who have sensory processing/developmental dysfunction.
3. Implement treatment strategies designed to improve respiration
patterns, self-regulation, postural control, visual motor
skills, feeding and communication skills.
4. Demonstrate and apply techniques designed to enhance
oral/ respiratory function.
