COURSE DESCRIPTION
TalkTools Instructor, Monica Purdy, will be presenting strategies for implementing a chewing plan for clients who have not mastered this skill, looking at what happens during both a typical chewing event and a disordered one.
Participants will learn how to conduct a differential diagnosis to determine if sensory issues and/or motor deficits are impacting mastication.
