I canโ€™t wait! Who is coming? The IAOM Conference in Hawaii is going to be AMAZING!!! ๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ๏ธI am excited to have 1.5 hours to delve deep into this streamlined system to more easily diagnose contributing factors to OMDs and find easier treatment solutions. ๏ฟผ

A 3-System Model for Diagnosing & Treating Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders

Join Nicole Goldfarb, M.S., CCC-SLP, COMยฎ at the IAOM 2026 Convention in Honolulu as she introduces a practical framework for evaluating and treating Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) through three interconnected systems: myofunctional, medical, and dental.

OMDs are rarely isolated. When one system is disrupted, the others are often affected โ€” influencing breathing, oral posture, craniofacial development, and overall outcomes. This presentation provides a structured, streamlined model to help clinicians identify root causes, prioritize treatment, and collaborate effectively across disciplines.

In this session, you'll learn how to:
Identify the three interacting systemsโ€”myofunctional, medical, and dentalโ€”and explain their roles in the development and persistence of orofacial myofunctional disorders.
Analyze clinical findings to differentiate contributing factors across the three systems when evaluating orofacial myofunctional disorders.

Apply a structured 3-System Model to develop comprehensive and prioritized treatment plans for patients with orofacial myofunctional disorders.

Date: Friday, October 16, 2026
Time: 10:30 AM โ€“ 12:00 PM

Nicole Goldfarb founded the San Diego Center for Speech and Myofunctional Therapy over 20 years ago. She has practiced Speech-Language Pathology since 2003 and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy since 2008, and is the 193rd IAOM Certified Orofacial Myologistยฎ worldwide.

She is also one of the few Certified Orofacial Myologistsยฎ in San Diego County with a masterโ€™s degree in Speech-Language Pathology, a unique combination that supports comprehensive treatment for patients with both speech and myofunctional needs.

โœ… The Floor 4 protocol (targeting the head, throat, sides, and feet) helps patients achieve a "phase shift" of global suppleness.
โœ… Diastasis recti is identified as a frequently overlooked midline issue that significantly impacts airway posture and breathing development.
