This 12-hour workshop will help you understand the assessment process for clients with oral-motor deficiencies related to sensory, feeding, or speech clarity issues. The workshop explains the process of creating individualized program plans based on the results of oral-motor assessment, and also includes three complete evaluation/assessment sessions. This DVD is approved for 1.2 CEUs (ASHA or AOTA, self-study).

We highly recommend that the twelve-hour workshop, "A 3-Part Treatment Plan for Oral-Motor Therapy," is fully understood before viewing this title, as the presentation assumes a thorough knowledge of Sara R. Johnson's oral-motor techniques.

Learning Outcomes:
- Identify oral-motor deficits in clients with various diagnoses and disorders;
- Recognize O-M-related deficits in jaw, lip, and tongue function;
- Design a program plan based on an oral-motor assessment;
- Apply oral-motor strategies, when appropriate, with infant, preschool, and school-aged children.
