MYO Masterminds is an AN ALL INTENSIVE PRACTICUM FROM ORAL SENSORY-MOTOR TO OROFACIAL MYOFUNCTIONAL TREATMENT
This is a 9-month literature and case-based course with 88 hours of instruction and hands-on learning. The course focuses on oral sensory-motor through orofacial myofunctional diagnostic treatment. It is unique in that participants will problem solve with instructors on their own cases (with patient permission). Additionally, participants will use actual tools and exercises on themselves and their patients.
MYO Masterminds professionals commit to:
- Attend weekly 2-hr virtual sessions for 9 months;
- Compose 5 case-study reviews using provided case study template;
- Present at least 1 case-study to the cohort;
- Complete assignments including weekly quizzes, literature reviews, and terminology;
- Collaborate during live sessions; and

Short assessment/treatment video clips, provided by participants with patient permission will be reviewed in monthly sessions. Instructional topics include anatomy and physiology, child development, management of tethered oral tissues, airway and breathing concerns, facial and speech development, orthodontic and surgical support, patients with complex issues, as well as tools for practice and team building. Most months will also feature prominent guest speakers and panel discussions.
Participants will use the actual tools required in the continuum of oral treatment (i.e., babies to adults with a variety of disorders). Throughout the course, participants will apply treatment techniques and receive ongoing mentoring for 5 or their own clients from the master-level instructors resulting in effective treatment plans. The following topics will be covered in detail: Research Literature, Therapy Process, Functional Anatomy and Physiology, Child Development Beginning at Birth to Include Feeding and Speech, Tethered Oral Tissue Management, Airway and Breathing, Orthodontic and Surgical Support, Working with Complex Patients, as well as Practice Management and Teamwork.
Registrants will receive an email with instructions for how to access online content after registration has been accepted.
