Julianne has been a speechie for 21 years. About 10 years ago she started a quest to discover how she could help clients who couldn't generalise progress with lisp and lateral speech sounds. This included a 28 hour orofacial myology course completed twice - in 2020 and in 2023.

Julianne now routinely treats the tongue thrust and resting tongue position underlying lisp and lateral speech sounds, via chewing and swallowing skills. She is a firm believer in ‘tricking’ a child’s system into achieving the desired skill with the minimum amount of instruction, making one small change at a time.

What this PD is: A deep dive into tongue movement, oral muscle use, chewing, swallowing and speech sounds with a strong focus on what to look for (with lots of video) and what questions to ask your clients. The focus is clinical decision making.

What this PD is not: A replacement for the 4 day oro-facial myology training, nor a prescriptive ‘do it my way’ program, nor an analysis of the current research.

Who this PD is for: Qualified practicing speech pathologists.

This PD uses a significant amount of client video with permission, and therefore cannot be recorded by Julianne or the participants.

Length: 3 hours

Venue: Zoom (live online, no recording)
