Why it fits your practice
Built for the occupational therapist's caseload
If your caseload includes feeding, oral-motor, or sensory regulation, you're already working in the orofacial system. Make The Connection gives you the myofunctional framework that ties resting posture, breathing, and oral function together, so your feeding and oral-motor plans rest on a stronger foundation.
You'll learn to assess oral structures and function hands-on, recognize the patterns that interfere with feeding and regulation, and sequence treatment that fits the whole-child, function-first way you already practice.
What you'll be able to do
- Assess oral structures, resting posture, and function hands-on
- Connect myofunctional patterns to feeding and oral-motor performance
- Recognize frenula restrictions and the referral picture
- Build a function-first treatment sequence for your caseload
Why OTs choose this course
Three reasons it's worth your three days
Feeding has a foundation
Resting tongue posture, lip seal, and breathing shape feeding and oral-motor function. Treating them strengthens the work you already do.
Whole-system thinking
Myofunctional therapy fits OT's function-first, whole-person lens, connecting oral posture to breathing and sensory regulation.
Hands-on, not theoretical
Three days of supervised practice mean you leave able to assess and treat, not just describe.
CEUs & documentation
Make The Connection offers up to 3.6 ASHA CEUs (36 contact hours) with documentation provided. Many OT licensing boards accept documented continuing-education hours; verify with your board.
Common questions
For Occupational Therapists
Can occupational therapists take this course?
Yes. OTs are a core part of the interdisciplinary audience, especially those working in feeding, oral-motor, and sensory regulation.
How does this connect to my feeding caseload?
Resting tongue posture, lip seal, and nasal breathing underpin feeding and oral-motor function. The course gives you the framework to assess and treat those underlying patterns.
