Rona Alexander, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, C/NDT, Speaker

This 3-day workshop will focus on what members of a multidisciplinary team need to know about the assessment and treatment of infants and children with neuromotor impairments and challenges to their oral motor, feeding/swallowing, and respiratory coordination function.

Special emphasis will be placed on understanding a variety of areas that may be influencing a child’s feeding and swallowing function; the impact that body alignment, active postural control, and sensory factors have on oral motor function; and suggestions for the incorporation of strategies focusing on these areas into treatment programming. 

Treatment planning and strategies to improve cheeks/lips, tongue, jaw, and rib cage function will be discussed.  Audiovisual materials and patient demonstration sessions will be used to provide problem-solving experiences to assist participants in integrating information.
