#7329 Assessment and Intervention for Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs) in Feeding Therapy
Presented by Motivations, Inc.
Date
April 25, 2024 - April 25, 2024
Description
Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs) are the frenulum attachments within the mouth, there are typically 7 locations, and the restrictions that can be observed can impact growth and development, feeding, and speech. This course provides participations with functional and structural assessment of TOTs specific focus on intervention and treatment related to feeding deficits. The course will cover topics including foundational anatomy and physiology and provide case studies and education for assessment and intervention to increase food acceptance and oral motor sensory skills related to feeding. The importance and dynamic of a professional team and related scopes of practice will also be discussed.

Baby Beats and Breaths: Therapeutic Interventions for the Premature Infant with Cardiopulmonary Compromise
Presented by Education Resources, Inc.
Date
April 27, 2024 - April 28, 2024
Description
This intermediate-advanced course will focus on the cardiopulmonary implications for the premature or medically-complex infant as related to physiological stability, evolving motor control, sensory stability, and transition to oral motor skills that support feeding. It will focus on advancing the critical reasoning skills of the neonatal therapist to support the infant’s ability to obtain foundational motor and sensory skills. These skills include the ability of the infant to cough, produce audible phonation, oral motor skills, swallow skills, trunk facilitation, gestational age-appropriate positioning/handling to support the emergence of gross motor skills for postural stability. You will learn movement analysis skills (via lab time and video presentations) to assess breathing patterns, facilitation techniques to support trunk development, positioning strategies to support chest wall development, and feeding techniques to maximize postural control. We will discuss current literature as relevant to this topic and apply a systems theory approach for case study treatment planning.

Plot the TOT: A Collaborative Map to Optimal Outcomes
Presented by Chrysalis Orofacial
Date
May 2, 2024 - May 3, 2024
Description
As healthcare providers wanting rapid results to help our patients, a synchronized team approach is the best way to achieve that. Helping patients often requires multiple specialists to work together for best outcomes. Our collaborative and methodical approach allows us to view the whole patient and implement comprehensive care. This approach provides more predictable results and outcomes, while navigating the topography of TOTs (Tethered Oral Tissues) in the healthcare community. See implementation of the E3 Model of Care® with patients (infant, child, and adult) on their journey from initial evaluation, education, and execution of a treatment plan. Real patients, real evaluations, real surgeries in this course!
Participants who complete the training in its entirety will be granted permission to use and display the “Plot the TOT” logo as a designation to the public of their completion of the training. Rules of appropriate use will be communicated after successful completion of the course.

Functional outcomes are emphasized through targeted intervention strategies based on sensorimotor learning principles and consideration of neural plasticity. Problem areas include: airway (e.g., laryngomalacia, laryngeal cleft, vocal fold paralysis, tracheostomy/ventilator); GI tract (e.g., gastroesophageal reflux, eosinophilic esophagitis); nutrition/hydration; advancing feeding in NICU and beyond to include tongue & lip tie; tube feeding & weaning; barriers to oral feeding & intervention strategies with; picky/finicky eaters. Discussions will include the urgent need for specific measurable outcomes and pros/cons for varied frequency and intensity of direct and indirect interventions/therapies.

Description
Advance your assessment, treatment, and outcomes for infants requiring a tracheostomy tube. Medical co-morbidities associated with infants requiring a tracheostomy tube, implications of the tracheostomy tube on oral feeding/motor development, integrating physical rehabilitation treatments and respiratory therapy interventions to maximize infant outcomes with oral feeding, motor development, and daily activities related to play skills will be discussed. Expand your practice by integrating evidence into your clinical decision-making including reading/interpreting vent settings during interventions for objective assessments of infants that are intubated or have tracheostomy tubes. Expanded lecture/lab section devoted to infants with tracheostomy tubes include oral motor, feeding interventions, postural control, manual cough facilitation, positioning/handling, integrating use of a one-way valve into treatment, weaning respiratory support, and durable medical equipment recommendations for infant/family in preparation for home discharge. This course will focus on infants up to 12 months corrected gestational age with information applicable to clinicians working in the NICU, PICU, transitional pediatric care, in-home therapy, early intervention, and outpatient clinics. Learning Objectives: 1. Differentiate medical pathology from normal development for infants requiring a tracheostomy tube. 2. Determine how the placement of a tracheostomy tube influences the development of oral feeding and postural control skills. 3. Identify three risk factors for feeding dysfunction associated with oral feeding an infant with a tracheostomy. 4. Apply at least two feeding strategies for infants requiring a tracheostomy tube to improve sensory and motor performance with oral feeding. 5. Apply at least two postural control strategies for infants with a tracheostomy tube to improve their ability to utilize vocal cord movement to enhance their cough, phonation, and gross motor movement. 6. Choose an individualized care plan for an infant using the provided case study with tracheostomy tubes for improved outcomes with oral feeding, cough facilitation, motor control, and phonation.
