Myo Foundations for Pediatric SLPs
See It. Understand It. Treat It.
Join us for a dynamic and practical workshop built for pediatric SLPs who are ready to expand their understanding and confidence in the foundational principles of oral myofunctional therapy.
Workshop Overview
Oral Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) focuses on retraining the muscles of the mouth and face to support proper oral posture, nasal breathing, and safe, efficient swallowing. This workshop helps pediatric SLPs:
Identify orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) in young children
Understand typical vs. atypical development across feeding, posture, and speech
Recognize red flags and compensations in everyday tasks like eating, talking, and sleeping
Gain strategies to begin treating the root cause of dysfunction, not just the symptoms

Learn to “read” the mouth during play, speech, feeding, and sleep
Build observation skills using visual posture and muscle activation clues
Connect structure to function with real-life examples
Understand when a tongue tie revision is or is not appropriate
Explore how posture, tongue resting position, speech clarity, and sleep quality are all connected
