Course Description      BOOK:

Tethered Oral Tissue(s) is an abnormality of one or more of the seven
frena in the oral cavity including: maxillary buccal, mandibular buccal,
maxillary labial, mandibular labial and lingual frena. Abnormalities of the
frena, such as tightness, atypical location and/or appearance are often
missed in speech and feeding evaluations because many medical and
educational professionals have not been trained in the diagnostic
procedures for structural and functional red flags of TOTs.

This course will discuss how medical and education professionals such as
IBCLCs, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language
pathologists, dentists, ENTs, pediatricians, orthodontists etc. can quickly
assess for TOTs and make the proper referrals to a specialist who has
specialized training in this diagnosis. Common symptoms will be
highlighted such as sleep disorders and dysphagia. Clarification of a TOTs
team and suggested referrals will also be covered.

Learning Outcomes
  1. Participants will be able to identify at least 3 signs and symptoms of
    TOTs.
  2. Participants will be able to identify the location of the seven frena.
  3. Participants will be able to list at least 2 reasons to warrant a referral
    to a TOTs trained specialist.
