Dear Friends,Welcome to our 2014 Catalog! The past year has been a busy and exciting time at TalkTools®. We have expanded our course schedule, completed new resources, generated new and fresh courses,and continued our research commitment.

Our course schedule has been widespread this past year and included over 24 states and 14countries. We were also able to introduce new courses and present at numerous conventions thatwere attended by both parents and therapists. A special congratulations to the 21 therapists thatcompleted our advanced training this year.

This year two of our therapists, Lori Overland and Robyn Merkel-Walsh, completed their book, ASensory Motor Approach to Feeding. This book is an amazing resource for therapists and parentsalike and provides techniques to use immediately. Additionally, Sara has completed her work indeveloping a course specifically focused on the teen and adult population. The course titled “OralPhase Feeding and Speech for Teens and Adults” is going to be available at numerous US andinternational locations this year, so keep your eye out. Sara’s book on this topic will be released laterthis year.

robyn mErkEl-walsh, m.a., ccc-slp

This course helps therapists transition Oral Placement skills into speech sounds production, by transitioning muscle movements into word drills. Robyn outlines early developing phonemes m,b,p,w,h,k,g,t,d and n, and the pre-requisite skills needed for each sound via Oral Placement Therapy examples. Next, Robyn helps clinicians transition those cues into words through the OPT-S Kit. This short course helps therapists implement a comprehensive tactile approach to therapy by taking Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson’s “Three Part Treatment Plan” Approach into a more traditional articulation therapy plan once a client can respond to “look at me and say what I say.” Robyn also discusses evidenced based practice and how Oral Placement Therapy is an extension of Van Riper’s Phonetic Treatment Approach. A therapy session demonstration is provided for viewers to model.

oral phasE fEEding and spEEch for TEEns and adulTs: advancEd TEchniquEs using TacTilE inTErvEnTions(0.6 asha/aoTa crEdiTs) sara rosEnfEld Johnson, ms,ccc-slp

After many years of clinical research and development, Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson has created a program using tactile interventions to improve oral phase feeding skills and speech clarity for teens, young adults and the geriatric population. In this one day class, participants will learn how to diagnose and treat muscle-based deficits for their clients with any of the following diagnoses: dysarthria, apraxia, post oral cancer surgery, voice disorders, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), post CVA, Parkinson’s disease as well as Down syndrome and Cerebral Palsy. The hands-on practicum will include innovative “therapy tools” that can be used by therapists, patients or caregivers to improve feeding skill levels and improve speech clarity on the conversational level. Muscle skills can improve at any age and this class will add both new and exciting activities to your therapy repertoire. Come, learn, have fun and enjoy the success! Before and after videos will demonstrate the effectiveness of Oral Placement Therapy.

A SENSORY MOTOR APPROACH TO

FEEDING

a sEnsory-moTor approach To fEEding lori ovErland, m.s., ccc-slp, c/ndT robyn mErkEl-walsh, m.a., ccc-slp

In this much anticipated text, Lori Overland and Robyn Merkel-Walsh share techniques that they have used to allow for safe, effective, nutritive feeding for all ages and ability levels. A Sensory Motor Approach to Feeding walks the clinician through the assessment and treatment of oral sensory motor skill development as a critical component of addressing feeding disorders. Readers will learn how to identify a sensory-motor feeding disorder, complete an assessment and write a professional report. Lori and Robyn’s goal was to expand on the content of Lori’s live workshop and provide the practical techniques to clinicians and family members alike. Color photos and diagrams assist the reader in taking these methods to practice immediately. This 250+ page color text is a must have in your clinical library.

assEssmEnT and TrEaTmEnT of ThE Jaw: puTTing iT all TogEThEr - sEnsory, fEEding and spEEch

This is the first in a series of programs designed to teach standard speech sound production using a combination of traditional articulation therapy in conjunction with Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) activities. It is designed for clients who need auditory, visual, and tactile information to learn to use standard /s/ and /z/ in all speech environments.

In this program you will learn how to: 1) perform an evaluation with a client who evidences an inter-dental or a lateral lisp; 2) write a complete Oral Placement/Movement for Feeding and Speech Evaluation; and 3) create and write a computer generated Report and Program Plan tailored to address your client’s specific needs. Once this process has been completed, you will use the 20 lesson plans with associated Homework Sheets and Speech Practice Sheets to assist you in correcting your client’s inter-dental or lateral productions. Each of the 20 lesson plans is divided into four sections: 1) Sensory, 2) Feeding, 3) Placement/Movement Activities, and 4) Speech.

IN THIS DVD yOU WILL SEE SARA ROSENFELD-JOHNSON PERFORM TWO ASSESSMENTS. READ THE REPORTS AND PROGRAM PLANS GENERATED, AND VIEW AFTER-THERAPy VIDEO CLIPS.

oral placEmEnT ThErapy (opT) goals and obJEcTivEs for iEps and insurancE rEimbursEmEnT- cd By Robyn Merkel-Walsh M.A., CCC-SLP and Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson M.S., CCC-SLP

Therapists are often unsure of how to set goals that are educationally relevant or how to produce goals that help with insurance reimbursement. Robyn Merkel-Walsh has worked in a public school and a private clinic since 1995. She has spent a great deal of time writing and re-writing goals and objectives that are client-centered, yet provide the relationship between oral placement skills and speech production. Together with Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson’s expertise on oral placement therapy, Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) Goals and Objectives for IEPs and Insurance Reimbursement was created to help therapists write IEP goals and accurately measure progress in OPT activities used to improve speech clarity and feeding skill levels. Use this CD to tailor activities to your client’s specific needs.
