This includes setting goals that are neurodiversity affirming and sensitive to every child and family. It is highly important to set our families up for success and this includes creating goals with them that reflect their needs as well as their child’s needs encompassing who they are and not who we wish them to be. Studies which include reflective information from neurodiverse adults indicate interventions focused on “fixing” an individual result in a negative perspective and understanding of behavior whereas inclusionary and accepting approaches lead to embracing their authentic selves. In order to do this\, therapists can begin with developing goals\, in collaboration with the family\, that focus on strengths to help make progress and improve daily function. This course will describe components of strength based approaches to goal setting specific to the early intervention population and will provide opportunity for collaborative problem solving in creating goals that best meet our families’ needs. \nThe content of this program is germane to children\, students and clients birth-3 years old. \nHighlights\n\nImmediately apply neurodiversity principles in goal development to provide better outcomes for the families you serve.\nCollaborative problem solving strategies and practice developing goals during the course\nImprove confidence in developing appropriate goals for your clients and their families that are applicable to their daily lives.

These clients may benefit from a multi-sensory approach to include tactile input based on phonetic placement and motor learning theories. This class will discuss how and when a sensory-motor approach might benefit. These principles and techniques can be applied with a variety of clients to include clients with Speech Sound Disorders (SSD’s) as well as those with dual diagnosis (Oral-Motor Disorder (OMD) and apraxia\, Dysarthria and Down Syndrome\, Autism and Apraxia) to name a few. Participants will learn how a stable motor system is key to speech development and the necessary underlying skills for each sound. Motor development will be reviewed and its place in assessment and treatment will be discussed. \nThe course will: 1) Review the underlying motor system as a pre-requisite to the standard production of speech sounds\, 2) Review OPT as a modern extension of phonetic placement theory\, 3) Learn a bottom up approach to speech production- learn the systems\, 4) Teaching vocalizing on command\, 5) Teach a Sound Using a tool/tactile cue to facilitate speech motor planning\, 6) Phoneme Sequencing\, 7) Phoneme Blending\, 8) Syllables Blending\, 9) Syllable to Word\, 10) Addressing CAS\, 11) Addressing Dysarthria/OMD’s\, 12) Addressing CAS\, 13) Discuss how this approach is intended as an adjunct to current therapy techniques. \nNOTE: This course includes a 3 hours self-study module. FORMAT: pre-taped presentation. Learners must complete the self-study module prior to participating in the workshop. \n\n\nLearning Outcomes \n\nParticipants will be able to:  \n\nDefine an Oral Placement Approach for Motor Speech Disorders.\nIdentify the components of speech from a systems perspective.\nSummarize the sensory system and its function in teaching speech.\nAssess how the motor system functions and its impact in teaching speech.\nApply Sensory-Motor Techniques to teaching a client to vocalize on command.\nDescribe how bridging techniques are effective from OPT to Speech.\nFormulate a framework for when to use tactile phonetic placement techniques and how to fade them.\nList techniques for teaching a sound\, sequencing\, blending and transition to whole word.

Recorded presentations are available for 2 days after the dates posted and accessible only to learners who purchased a seat for this course.  \nThe Power-Source Filter Theory of voice encompasses the lungs\, vocal mechanism and the structures of articulation and resonance. A breakdown at any level may not only impact the voice but impact the functions of speech and related to Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) The regular presence of these adaptive movements can often result in a variety of disturbances. As per the ASHA practice portal\, most OMDs stem from blockages in the airway and a primary sign and symptom of an OMD is open mouth posture with mouth breathing. Anatomy of the face and neck are shared for phonation\, resonation and articulation. \nThough usually not discussed concurrently\, Robyn’s unique training in orofacial myology and vocology provides her with a unique perspective in looking at the whole airway system and how any blockages or deficits can impact not only the four MYODomains™ of Airway\, Feeding/Swallowing\, Structure and Speech\, but also vocal health\, resonance and voice quality for both professional and non-professional voice users. \nThis webinar will empower attendees to not only take care of their own airway and voice\, but assist their patients\, students and clients in seeking treatment. Prevention and intervention will be discussed across the lifespan\, and participants will learn the science between the interaction of the airway\, voice\, swallowing and speech systems. \n\nWebinar Details \n\nInstructor Details and Financial Disclosure  \n\nRobyn Merkel-Walsh MA\, CCC-SLP/COM®\n\nRegistration Fees\n\n$150 includes: 2-hour CE Course\, digital handout(s) & certificate of completion.\n\nSchedule\nTimed Agenda \n\n5 minutes: Introduction\n15 minutes: What is an Airway Disorder?\n15 minutes: The Cycle of Disfunction\n20 minutes: Noticing the Signs\n15 minutes: Airway Intervention\n15 minutes: Home Remedies\n15 minutes: Vocal Hygiene\n20 minutes: Conclusions/Q&A URL:https://studenttherapy.com/continuing-education/caring-for-your-airway-and-voice-a-vocologists-perspective-webinar/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
