We are going to be discussing this in a future CEN, thanks for your question @tricmc.bsky.social we really appreciate it. We like to offer a range of training for our CEN members. We critically evaluate approaches and evidence or lack of also!

We learnt about how a child may retract their lips because of tension and how this may not be efficient. We saw an example of this in a young child speaking in single words.

Thread: what have we learnt today from our CEN on Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy.
First up Rosie Nicholson makes the link between PROMPT and OMT.

🎉🎉
It’s today! Really looking forward to this one! It’s not too late to sign up - please send an email across to: midlands.ssd.cen@gmail.com and we will send across payment details and the link. You will also get access to a recording if you sign up.
