Course Description



On average, 80% of children identified with developmental delay suffer from oral motor dysfunction. This two-day pediatric sensory point taping (SPT) course focuses on smaller taping applications on strategic points to impact oral motor function. The SPT techniques address the co-morbidities surrounding oral motor dysfunction, including arthrokinematics, respiration, motility, oral motor coordination, jaw alignment, head posture, edema, pain, fascial restrictions, and scar tissue while maintaining skin integrity and providing comfort. The participant will be introduced to assessment methods, including musculoskeletal data collection for pre/post assessment and skills specific for successful, safe application of elastic therapeutic tape.

Disclosure: this course will discuss KinesioTape® and the Sensory Point Taping technique. No other similar product or technique will be discussed. 

Benefits of attending:

  • Apply sensory point tapings across patient problems (edema, pain, drooling, oral motor dyscoordination, open mouth posture, poor respiration, facial reanimation, soft tissue restrictions, balance deficits, and alignment) to improve function
  • Discuss tests and measures to assess for underlying conditions or co-morbidities of diagnoses related to oral motor and postural dysfunction
  • Use evidence-based taping strategies to increase alignment, oral motor function, and postural control
  • Hands-on labs to engage in oral motor, postural, and scar assessment and treatment

Course Goal: Participants will understand the relationship between the skin and body systems and how Kinesio tape® can be applied to the pediatric population to encourage oral motor control while ensuring safety. (Day 1 SPT techniques for head and neck. Day 2 expands SPT to whole body concepts.)

Lab Notice: Please dress in lab-appropriate clothing. We will be discussing and practicing each evaluation and treatment technique. Day 1 comprises head and neck applications; Day 2 continues to whole body applications.

Lab partner: To get the most out of the class, participation in labs in encouraged. For many applications, you will be able to tape yourself. You may want to have a doll on hand to practice the applications, but it is not required.

Lab Supplies:

Included with the course is a sample pack sent from Kinesio® Tape!

This pack contains:

  • Kinesio® Tape Light Touch: 1 roll
  • Kinesio® Tape Classic: sample pack equivalent of 3’ of tape

    Well done! Thank you for these long, live, and educational services! Greatly appreciated!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / May 2024

    The class was very informative. Elizabeth was a great instructor with just the right amount of humor to keep things upbeat. She was great!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / May 2024

    Elizabeth was great- her course provided hands on learning for tools to add to my treatments, She did a great job of connecting taping technique application for both pediatric and adult patients. This course provided functional applications- Highly recommend! Thank you

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / May 2024

    Absolutely loved how easy this information was to understand! The phrase "Taping the skin =taping the brain" The instructor made these 2 days feel so short. I would've went through without breaks. Information was so good, I was not anticipating the breaks at all! So interactive!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / May 2024

    Dr. Elizabeth was wonderful! This has been one of the best courses I have taken. She was organized, fun and effective in her teaching. I have learned so much and will be able to apply it tomorrow.

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / May 2024

    Thank you for providing such an amazing and detailed presentation!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

    I do wish I could have taken this course in person. Although I learned a lot of information, some courses I think are just better in person due to the hands-on nature.

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

    I would not change anything. I took it with a group virtually in my school, and short of going in person (which would not be possible), I could not think of anything that I would change.

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

    Dr Harvey is very knowledgeable and course was very informative and useful for our practice.

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

    FANTASTIC COURSE! Much better than the first Ciao taping course I previously took. In fact, I almost didn't take this course because of the last course I took, but this one was EXCELLENT!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

    Actually, she, as with all your presenters did a fantastic job. The overall very good organization makes it easier to understand and follow.

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

    amazing course! 10/10 recommend

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

    I really wish I had done this course in person - actually been in Pensacola at the studio for better learning. But given the nature of watching live - I think I got the most out of it as possible. Thanks Elizabeth for making something I was unsure of much more approachable and doable within my scope of practice.

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

    Excellent course! Elizabeth is a very good speaker and very knowledgeable in the area!

    - Laredo, TX / Sep 2023

    I feel highly capable due to the material in the book provided, and that the labs were interactive. Also, Elizabeth, (presenter) was very approachable and shared her phone number and email.

    - Laredo, TX / Sep 2023

    This is by far my favorite instructor and course from CIAO Seminars! It is highly informative, and Dr. Elizabeth is AWESOME! She is very sweet lady with a great passion to teach and help!

    - Laredo, TX / Sep 2023

    Great, great course! Elizabeth Harvey is extremely knowledgeable and since three-point taping for pediatric oral motor function. I already thinking about mini patients I can do this on. Excited to be given the knowledge to make a difference in my patient’’s lives.

    - Laredo, TX / Sep 2023

    I loved this course, I had no idea of what Kinesio medical typing was. Today I get to add the strategies under my toolbelt and will be able to use this new learned skill with my patience. Thank you so much.

    - Laredo, TX / Sep 2023

    Thank you, Christie and Elizabeth for the time and for everything. Thank you Elizabeth for making the course a fun and learning experience..

    - Laredo, TX / Sep 2023

    - Weatherford, TX / Sep 2023

    I enjoyed the group work to gain alternative perspectives/ideas, and greatly appreciated the inclusion of empirical evidence

    - Weatherford, TX / Sep 2023

    Great instructor. Very Knowledgeable and includes all interest throughout class. Great for all 3 therapies.

    - Orlando, FL / Aug 2023

    (maybe let people know they don't need a laptop for the course) Great course! Elizabeth is one of the most personable presenters I've ever taken a course from.

    - Orlando, FL / Aug 2023

    EXCELLENT SPEAKER AND COURSE

    - Orlando, FL / Aug 2023

    This was a great course that helped me learn more to provide for mybpatients

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Apr 2023

    I would love to see more from this presenter!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Apr 2023

    By far and large the BEST course I have ever taken. I would love to spend more time with case studies and applications. I have a renewed excitement for treatment with my little ones. I hope more courses by this presenter will take care.

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Apr 2023

    LOVED this course! I have ideas for my clients that have had slow progress or ways to now send home the tactile cues for more input and faster remidation of feeding difficulties. Loved the breath support ideas for my speech kids also!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Apr 2023

    Excellent course! Highly recommend!!! I can take these strategies to the clinic and begin implementing this week.

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Apr 2023

    Great course!!!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Apr 2023

    Highly recommend this course esp'ly for SLP's. There is so much more that we don't think to look at and this course helped me to see through a PT's eyes and to use taping w/in my scope of practice! This will help me accomplish my/our goals faster!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Apr 2023

    Fantastic course-fantastic presenter! Would absolutely love to take another one of her courses. Very knowledgeable -loved the case studies and everything was relevant. Great speaker-the days flew by.

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Apr 2023

    I absolutely loved this course. It truly is one of my top favorite courses. I will be HIGHLY recommending this course to all my collegues. If I had to give any feedback at all, I would love to have incorporated a easy reference chart stating the following: taping technique, possible associated symptoms/problems, possible functional outcome, and possible muscles and/or nerves involved. I have a chart similar to this for NMES quick reference for peds and adults. It's a really nice quick and easy tool to use vs. continuous flipping through my binder. However, I love the handout you did provided and so excited to use this new tool and knowledge!

    - Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Apr 2023

    Great course. I do think that the course with John Kelly that generally talks about KT taping for dyphagia was important to take first, but for taking this one because this one was more specific to the sensory points. I thought it was helpful to have that course before I had this one.
