| Course Description: This course is presented to establish a protocol for evaluating and treating neck problems as a first step in viewing children with oral motor, developmental and sensory processing problems. Evaluation and treatment of a child's neck is essential in resolving structural problems that impair information from the cranial nerves. These issues are often seen as a central nervous system problems when the location of the issue is peripheral in nature and can block normal development of the mouth, sensory systems, the motor system and the entire developmental process. Injury to the neck often occurs with difficult births, falls, low tone, excessive positioning on the back, low vision, and other developmental problems that put excessive stress on the neck. This problem will be linked to other areas of development so the participant will be able to establish solid foundations on which to build skills. Through this presentation and practice sessions, participants will learn to identify the symptoms of decreased information through the cranial nerves, the habilitation process and the impact this treatment can have on function. With this common sense approach many primary blocks can be resolved and the progression of development is put back on track. Course Objectives: 1. Describe the anatomical structures related to common neck/cranial nerve problems. 2. Diagnose and treat oral motor, sensory motor and developmental problems related to neck/cranial nerve issues. 3. Diagnose and treat sensory processing problems related to the neck. 4. Design habilitation programs for oral motor, sensory motor and developmental problems related to neck/cranial nerve issues.
