Overview

Recognising the right moment for a conversation

Children develop at different rates. This preview webinar focuses on the observations that can prompt a thoughtful conversation about breathing, oral posture, chewing, swallowing, jaw development, and facial balance.

The session is educational rather than diagnostic. It shows how families and practitioners can document concerns, communicate clearly, and decide when an individual clinical assessment may be appropriate.
