Carmen Rathert, M.S. CCC-SLP, COM, recently attended the IAOM 2019 convention in New Orleans, LA. The focus of the convention was on the importance of airway in our lives.

IAOM 2019 Convention: "Airway is Everything"
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
Emily Stocking, LPC has recently completed training for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR helps let go of past experiences and updates them to a healthier present perspective. Organizing negative and positive feelings, emotions, and thoughts through specific eye movements and tapping can help children work through disturbing memories. We are so excited for Emily to bring this new treatment approach to the Pediatric Place. Please call our office for more information.

Collaborating with Local Professionals
Carmen Rathert, M.S. CCC-SLP, COM is excited to share information regarding orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD)with local dentist, Krystal Gillis, DDS, and her staff in October. Dentists are often the first to identify causes and symptoms of OMD such as tongue or lip tie, maloclussions, poor oral health, mouth breathing, clenching and grinding. A team approach is the best way to assess and treat these individuals. We are looking forward to working with Dr. Gillis and her staff!
