What People Are Saying About School-Based Myo
"As a school-based SLP I see many students who fit this profile. I have felt frustrated with my student's lack of progress at times and wondered if I wasn't providing appropriate therapy. I think my SLP colleagues in the schools would benefit from this knowledge."
Chris M.
"I feel much more confident in my screening for OMD as well as in my approach to be up-front with parents. Truly, this was an excellent course."
Kelly K.
"There is little to no instruction in the majority of graduate programs on this topic and school based SLPs need tools to make appropriate recommendations so that all students have an opportunity to achieve their maximum communication potential."
Erin M.
"Jaimee did a wonderful job teaching this class. This was so informative and made me feel more confident in screening students for OMD and making appropriate referrals. I think it covers information we not provided in graduate school that is very needed."
