I can still hike and recruit participants for research studies at the same time haha haha…it’s called a shade break. Doesn’t matter when your hiking partner is 30 minutes ahead of you on a 1,400ft elevation gain. Blame it on finishing the semester at sea level! Slow and steady wins the race!

The OMI worked in collaboration with ASHA to update the Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders portal on the SLP's role in the assessment of ankylogossia . The new portal reads as follows:
"Ankyloglossia, also referred to as tongue-tie or tethered oral tissue(s) (TOTs), is a medical diagnosis. The decision to perform a frenectomy, frenotomy or frenuloplasty is a medical decision made on a case-by-case basis by dentists, oral surgeons, and otolaryngologists. As members of an interdisciplinary team, SLPs may be asked to provide input on the functional implications caused by a tongue-tie or help support medical necessity for surgery. If concerns regarding the frenulum's structure or function arise during an examination of the orofacial complex, a referral to a surgeon who has experience with frenectomies should be made. There is evidence that releasing a tongue-tie may improve breastfeeding function (Ghaheri et al., 2021; Buryk et al., 2011), and preliminary evidence continues to evolve regarding speech and feeding beyond the breast (Baxter et al., 2020; Ghayoumi-Anaraki et al., 2022). See ASHA's Practice Portal pages on Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing, Adult Dysphagia and Speech Sound Disorders."
Thanks to the American Speech -Language and Hearing Association for recognizing the evolving evidence based practices that are so important for SLPs and the patients and students they service, by acknowledging our critical roles in the diagnosis and treatment of Tethered Oral Tissue(s).
