Overview: 

Speech, Language and Oral Placement Therapy and Children with Down syndrome

Karen Thadani and Crystal Neil are registered Speech-Language Pathologist who have been practicing as a whole for 8 years. Karen and Crystal specialize in providing speech and language therapy to preschoolers, toddlers, and school-age children with oral motor, feeding, speech and language disorders. In addition, they provide consults to parents, caregivers and schools with the efforts of improving the quality of life for all of their clients. They received hands on training from Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson creator of Talktools and the oral placement approach, and are currently two of six (2/6) Level 3 trained therapists in Canada.

Karen and Crystal will present on Down syndrome and Oral Placement Therapy (OPT). This workshop will focus on the acquired functional deficits of children with Down Syndrome and how it impacts feeding and speech; as well as the important building blocks needed for language development. Various modes of Augmentative and alternative communication will also be explored.
