The STONES Approach Online March 6-7, 2025

The STONES Approach (Systematic Treatment of Orofacial myofunctional disorders with Nuanced Effective Strategies) is an advanced myofunctional course that focuses on clinical decision-making and details with implementing treatment for an orofacial myofunctional disorder. Often times, clinicians know the goals for treatment, but need creative and successful strategies to achieve positive results. Additionally, it is not enough to demonstrate a skill in therapy; it should be executed without compensations and generalized to habitual function. There are many barriers to success that require outside referrals to other professionals and interventions. The course explores when and why these outside referrals are needed with treatment plan collaboration and sequencing.

This course is beneficial for participants who have taken an introductory myofunctional therapy course including:

• Dental hygienists

• Myofunctional Therapists

• Occupational Therapists

• Physical Therapists
