SUMMARY:Beckman Oral Motor Assessment & Intervention via Zoom! October 16-17\, 2025 (Thur/Fri) 8:00am - 5:30pm\, EST
DESCRIPTION:***SOLD OUT***\nCourse Overview \nThis is a two-day\, hands-on intensive workshop.  Participants will learn compensatory hands-on techniques for tonic bite\, slow oral transit\, tongue thrust\, and gag. The participants will practice over 50 specific intervention strategies for improving facial muscle function for eating and speech. Additional topics of discussion may include: goal writing\, diet texture progression\, tube to oral issues\, adaptive mealtime utensils\, oral hygiene issues\, medication administration issues\, oral function for individuals with trachs\, facilitating improved articulation through oral motor techniques\, research issues\, videofluroscopy issues for motorically involved individuals\, and additional topics of importance as determined by the participants. \nCourse Objectives/Learning Outcomes \nUpon completion Participants will be able to:\n1) Demonstrate assessment battery for determining orofacial movement patterns using the Beckman protocol.\n2) Demonstrate compensatory handling techniques.\n3) Demonstrate oral motor interventions and\ntreatment techniques.\n4) Recognize how to screen for potential referral candidates.\n5) Identify the results of the techniques discussed.\n6) Demonstrate manual therapy assessment and intervention techniques that improve the activities of daily living regarding speech and eating. \nPreparation:\nYou 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. \nIt is highly recommended you review the information under “Workshop Class Materials” and “Additional Downloads” to get familiar with the information you will learn at the course: https://beckmanoralmotor.com/downloads. \nSpeaker: \n \nStacie Hemmitt is a highly experienced Speech-Language Pathologist with 25 years of practice in the field.
