Tongue and oral control workshop Thurs 11th April 2024
About
Julianne Burgess has been a speechie for 19 years. About 8 years ago she started a quest to discover how she could help clients who couldn't generalise progress with lisp and lateral speech sounds. This included a 28 hour orofacial myology course in 2020, and in 2023.Julianne now routinely treats tongue thrust and resting tongue position via chewing and swallowing skills. She is a firm believer in ‘tricking’ a child’s system into achieving the desired skill with the minimum amount of instruction, making one small change at a time.
What this PD is: A deep dive into tongue movement, oral muscle use, chewing, swallowing and speech sounds with a strong focus on what to look for (with lots of video) and what questions to ask your clients. The focus is clinical decision making.
What this PD is not: A replacement for the 4 day oro-facial myology training, nor a prescriptive ‘do it my way’ program, nor an analysis of the current research.
Who this PD is for: Qualified speech pathologists
