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.

Course Requirements:
  • Computer with internet and working speakers/sound are required for this course.
  • Course must be completed within 30 days of activation (activate course within 6 months of purchase).
  • An online multiple-choice quiz (80% passing score) and submission of an online evaluation form are required for successful completion.
  • A certificate of completion will be available to print immediately after course is successfully completed.
  • SLPs - ASHA CEUs may be obtained by completing the online ASHA form and checking the "Report to ASHA" box.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify key concepts of the integumentary system and its relationship to function
  • Review neuroanatomy of the head, neck, and trunk pertinent to the sensory point taping (SPT) applications
  • Discuss assessment methods aligned with the SPT strategies to determine taping intervention and effectiveness
  • Apply contemporary SPT applications across patient problems: edema, pain, drooling, oral motor dyscoordination, open mouth posture, poor respiration, facial reanimation, soft tissue restrictions, balance deficits, and postural alignment to improve
  • Participate in guided laboratory sessions to use assessment methods and apply SPT taping strategies across various case studies
  • List precautions, contraindication, and treatment progression using SPT taping strategies
