Last week I had the absolute privilege of spending 4 days learning orofacial myofunctional therapy (OFM)! It was all online (because of COVID) and turned out to be in Melbourne Daylight Savings time (hello 5am wake ups!), but it was totally worth it :)

What is OFM? Well it's a skill set based in a deep knowledge of the muscles of the face and mouth, and what to do when some of those muscles aren't pulling their weight.

I've spent the past week taking photos and videos of some of my lovely little clients, getting ready to put my new learning into practice! 🤩👏🍾

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a course called 'Talk for Writing' at the Dyslexia Speld Foundation...

I have been trying out my new skills with a few clients and we are all loving it!

Today we innovated on the Gingerbread Man story and a 6 year old boy created a great story about a Shortbread Cube who hopped away, and was eaten by a fluffy dog. 😋
