Mythbusting Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders with Angela McLeod

*** This episode is not available for ASHA CEUs.****

Guest: Angela McLeod, PhD, CCC-SLP

In this episode, Michelle is joined by Angela N. McLeod, PhD, CCC-SLP, a Clinical Associate Professor and Speech-Language Pathologist at the University of South Carolina, who has also obtained certification as a qualified orofacial myologist (QOM). Are you new to the words “orofacial myologist” and unclear about what it is and how it works within the field of Speech-Language Pathology? Have you worried that orofacial myology is synonymous with non-evidence-based oral motor exercises? Or, (like Michelle until just recently), are you too laboring upon the misinformation that all orofacial myologists are proponents of cutting tethered tissues? Join the gracious and compassionate Dr. Angela for an hour of myth-busting that is sure to inspire us all in our pursuit of additional coursework! Wahoo for EBP drive SLPs!
