Every detail of therapy was covered - diagnostics, treatment, programs. Liked the ease of accessing, home study, and ability to stop when needed. I really liked that the topics were broken into specific sections.

"I have a feeding and language evaluation for a 22 month old this week. Her mother has concern for lip and tongue tie. Clearly, this course will be very beneficial in my evaluation procedures and treatment with this client, as well as others on my caseload. My graduate school professor strongly felt as though frenectomies were performed too frequently. I am thankful for this course to give me a different perspective and new considerations toward the procedures. I will definitely use my knowledge gained in this area moving forward. The presenter gave clinically relevant and research based information. The content was heavily clinically based and therefore can easily be applied in daily practice." S.F.
