The Integrated Case Workshop

CONTINUING EDUCATION REGISTRATION PAGE

Live workshop: Thursday, October 29, 2026 | 8:00 pm ET

(1.5 Hours, 0.15 ASHA CEUs, Advanced Level, Professional Area)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The Integrated Case Workshop is a live, case-based session for experienced clinicians working across pediatric feeding and orofacial myofunctional therapy. Each month, mentors present de-identified cases drawn from active caseloads and walk through their clinical reasoning in real time: what they saw, what they ruled out, how the feeding and myofunctional pictures related to one another, and how they sequenced intervention.

Cases vary month to month. A given workshop may include feeding-only presentations, myofunctional-only presentations, cases where the two overlap, and pediatric or adult patients. What stays constant is the reasoning framework. Participants engage in guided analysis and leave with a structured approach they can apply to complex cases that resist single-discipline explanations.

PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE: This is an Advanced-level course. Participants are expected to have working familiarity with feeding assessment and orofacial myofunctional assessment, and with the terminology and clinical frameworks used in each. This workshop does not teach foundational assessment skills.

All cases are presented de-identified in accordance with HIPAA.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completion of this course participants will be able to:

• Analyze presented cases to identify contributing feeding, orofacial myofunctional, and related structural or functional factors.
• Differentiate findings that indicate a primary feeding concern from those that indicate a primary myofunctional concern, including presentations in which only one domain is involved.
• Apply a structured clinical reasoning framework to sequence intervention priorities across pediatric and adult presentations.
• Identify indicators within a presented case that warrant referral to or collaboration with another discipline.

Satisfactory completion: Learners are required to complete a self assessment/reflection survey in addition to a short quiz following the completion of the training in order to receive a certificate of completion and be reported to the ASHA CE Registry if requested. A passing score of 80% is required.
