Course Overview
This is a one-day hands-on intensive workshop. During this course, participants will practice specific deep tissue release for the upper and lower lips, upper and lower cheeks, midface, jaw, and tongue. These interventions focus on increased range of movement for these structures. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to review, discuss and practice the Beckman Oral Motor Assessment and Intervention protocol.
Participants are welcome to discuss specific issues they encounter in their practice and determine if and what Beckman Oral Motor interventions may be beneficial in improving oral motor function and what other resources, methodologies, products or services might enhance a positive outcome of therapy. Participants are invited to bring video case studies on DVD for discussion and problem solving.
Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes
Upon completion Participants will be able to:
1) Demonstrate intervention options for mobility of the lips, cheeks, midface, jaw and tongue using deep tissue releases.
2) Problem solve issues regarding client specific oral motor and mealtime concerns.
3) Demonstrate oral motor assessment and intervention techniques as determined by the participants.
4) Demonstrate manual therapy assessment and intervention techniques that improve the activities of daily living regarding speech and eating.
Preparation:
Prerequisite: This course is only for SLP/OT who have previously taken the Assessment & Intervention training. You must have implemented the A&I for a minimum of 3 months prior to taking this Deep Tissue training. We do not allow exceptions.
You will be working with the fragile tissues of the oral area; for safety reasons, therapeutic nail length is a must. Attendees are asked to bring a large handheld mirror. A DVD of a case study is welcomed for discussion.
