You will develop skills for specific speech therapy intervention in Orofacial Therapy and Early Childhood Care"

Speech therapy intervention in OMT (Orofacial/Miofunctional Therapy) and Early Intervention requires constant updating in terms of the latest advances and discoveries.  This makes it much easier for the professional to approach the best results and make the right decisions.   

In this type of therapy, the basis of the work is the laryngeal, buccal, maxillary and facial system, intervening in various fields such as malformations, disabilities, congenital or acquired brain damage, neurodevelopmental disorders, etc. For this reason, it is necessary to understand in a broader way the alterations in children's swallowing, which entails consequences such as malnutrition, respiratory infections, among others, which must be treated in a precise manner.   

This program addresses the different rehabilitative treatments of oropharyngeal and esophageal dysphagia in children, as well as early feeding techniques, delving into neurodevelopment and infant feeding. These, among other topics, will be expanded in a specific way in the academic itinerary of this program and will allow early detection of a functional alteration in feeding, as well as allow the development of different intervention strategies at orofacial level in pediatric age in children with swallowing disorders.  

An academic space that meets all the conditions for the graduate to graduate in a comfortable and safe way, due to the 100% online methodology and based on Relearning, which will allow the rapid assimilation and understanding of the concepts. In this way, the professional will acquire the skills that will allow them to effectively address Orofacial Therapy and Early Childhood Care.
