Level 1 Outline - Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson's unique tactile-sensory approach to speech therapy uses therapy tools 'disguised' as toys! See how 40 fun-to-use exercises can be used to improve phonation, resonation, and speech clarity. Interactive, hands-on demonstrations will focus on therapeutically sound techniques that develop the oral-motor muscles needed for improving speech clarity: abdomen, velum, jaw, lips and tongue. Your child and adult clients will actually want to do them because they are fun and they work! (apraxia/dysarthria) . (more.....)
Apraxia Outline - Renee Roy Hill will discuss how many clients with a diagnosis of childhood apraxia of speech also have coexisting deficits which include sensory, feeding and oral-motor deficits. She will address how implementing an oral-motor program in a therapeutic hierarchy in conjunction with traditional verbal and tactile techniques will improve speech clarity for clients with the diagnosis of apraxia. Each therapeutic technique can be implemented in school and/or home environments. It is recommended (not required) you attend "A Three-Part Treatment Plan for Oral-Motor Speech Therapy". (more.....)
