I just loved hearing more about when to apply the different exercises. I had heard of some of them, but I had not heard of others. This explained when to use each one and also when to refer out. Loved it!!!
Just excellent, all of it. It is not my scope to do these things with a baby but I can make suggestions around the edge for the small exercises that seem so very helpful, like the side-to-side tongue movement and the tug of war.
I have been assigning basic suck training exercises without really understanding the nuance of when to use each one. It was extremely helpful to see how you categorized each exercise based on the issue and now I feel so much better about creating a targeted plan of care.
