In this course, you’ll deepen your understanding of how the Suck-Swallow-Breathe (SSB) synchrony influences all aspects of development and function and why it is such a critical element in dysfunction. You’ll learn how oral-motor and respiratory coordination impacts sensory processing, motor control, regulation, feeding, communication, and overall development.
Throughout the training, you will:
- Gain a clear understanding of how SSB synchrony underpins both typical and atypical development.
- Develop the skills to identify even subtle dysfunction in SSB patterns through informed observation.
- Strengthen your knowledge of typical versus atypical function to improve clinical reasoning.
- Learn simple, inexpensive, and highly effective treatment strategies that can positively impact multiple areas of development.
- Build evaluation and treatment skills that enhance intervention across a variety of populations and diagnoses.
This training isn’t about following a protocol; it’s about learning to observe, understand, and respond in ways that truly support children’s sensory, motor, and behavioural development.
