September 24-25, 2010 in Jeffersontown, KY.

 

1.4 AOTA CEUs & 1.4 ASHA CEUs

Course Description:

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, videos and participant lab activities. Documentation strategies for identifying abnormal function and demonstrating change through treatment will be provided.
