Reflections on some recent professional development from Andrea …
Our Orofacial Myology team had the incredible opportunity to attend the Melbourne leg of Linda D’Onofrio’s Functional Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy workshop, kindly hosted by AAOM (Australian Association of Orofacial Myology).
The two-day advanced workshop on Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD) provided an in-depth exploration of both diagnostic and treatment processes, equipping us with valuable insights to further enhance our clinical practice.
Linda D’Onofrio shared her expertise in craniofacial disorders, oromyofunctional disorders, feeding difficulties, dysphagia, sensory-motor speech disorders, and sleep-disordered breathing, including sleep apnoea—areas that directly align with our caseload.
It was a fantastic weekend of learning and collaboration, connecting with other Victorian-based colleagues, including speech pathologists, dental professionals, osteopaths, and more.
A huge thank you to the AAOM for hosting, Linda for sharing her knowledge and to our dedicated team at Beyond Speech for their commitment to professional growth. We’re excited to integrate these learnings into our work!
