Orofacial myofunctional therapy training for Speech-Language Pathologists
OMD lives squarely in your scope. Build the framework to treat it.
Built for the speech-language pathologist's caseload
Orofacial myofunctional disorders sit right inside the speech-language pathology scope of practice, yet most graduate programs barely touch them. If you've watched a tongue thrust undo your articulation gains, or felt unsure where myo fits alongside a feeding or swallowing plan, this is the course that connects it.
Make The Connection gives you a complete, function-first method: assess oral structures and resting posture, evaluate frenula restrictions, and build a treatment hierarchy you can open on Monday. You'll leave with the clinical reasoning to integrate myofunctional therapy into the caseload you already carry.
What you'll be able to do
- Differentiate an orofacial myofunctional disorder from an articulation or feeding issue
- Run a structured orofacial exam and document function vs. dysfunction
- Evaluate tongue-tie and frenula restrictions and know when to refer
- Sequence a myofunctional treatment plan alongside your existing goals
Three reasons it's worth your three days
It's in your scope
ASHA recognizes orofacial myofunctional disorders as within SLP practice. This course gives you the assessment and treatment depth to act on it confidently.
It fixes the relapse
Tongue thrust and low resting tongue posture quietly undo articulation and swallowing progress. Treating the underlying pattern protects the gains you work hard for.
It earns ASHA CEUs
Up to 3.6 ASHA CEUs over 36 contact hours, documented and submitted for you.
CEUs & documentation
Make The Connection offers up to 3.6 ASHA CEUs (36 contact hours). CEUs are documented and submitted on your behalf, so there's no paperwork on your end.
For Speech-Language Pathologists
Is orofacial myofunctional therapy within the SLP scope of practice?
Yes. ASHA's scope of practice includes orofacial myofunctional disorders. This course gives you the depth to assess and treat them confidently.
Will this overlap with my articulation and feeding work?
It complements it. You'll learn to identify when a myofunctional pattern is driving an articulation or swallowing problem, and how to treat the root cause so your other gains hold.
