Why it fits your practice
Built for the physician's caseload
Whether you practice in ENT, sleep medicine, pediatrics, or osteopathic medicine, orofacial function touches your patients: mouth breathing, airway, sleep-disordered breathing, feeding, and craniofacial development. Make The Connection gives you the functional framework and the interdisciplinary language to act on it.
The course connects the medical lens to the therapy that follows. You'll understand what myofunctional assessment reveals, when to refer, and how to lead the team that surrounds airway and developmental care.
What you'll be able to do
- Connect mouth breathing and oral posture to airway and sleep
- Recognize the orofacial patterns behind feeding and developmental concerns
- Understand what myofunctional assessment reveals and when to refer
- Lead and coordinate interdisciplinary airway and developmental care
