Abstract:

Over the last 10-15 years there has been an increasing awareness regarding tongue ties and number of procedures being performed have increased dramatically. Many of these procedures have been found to be advantageous in helping those children who have significant medical co-morbidities. Treatment outcomes measure improvement in the areas of feeding, breathing, sleep. and communication. Special emphasis will be placed on the collaborative approach with medical colleagues and understanding the concept of neuroplasticity, especially as it relates to the brain injury population.
