SPH 646: Oral Motor Function Of The
Developmentally Delayed Child
3 credits
An understanding of the development of motor functions of typical/atypical infants and young children as a framework for evaluating children with feeding/ pre-speech/speech disorders (e.g., Down syndrome, cerebral palsy). Focus on the birth to three population. Principles and strategies for treatment (e.g., oromotor integrity, team approach) will be discussed.
Learning Goals
PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES Upon completion of this course, students will demonstrate : 1. understanding of the nature of oral-motor functioning (swallowing), its assessment and treatment (ASHA III-C : knowledge of the disorder – assessed by course grade)2. competency in assessing swallowing, feeding and early sound production in young children (ASHA III-D : principles of assessment & IV-G : assessment skills – assessed by midterm)3. ability to plan and implement therapeutic techniques for children with feeding disorders and oral-motor dysfunction (ASHA III-D : principles of intervention; IV-G2 : intervention skills – assessed by final)
