Introducing the upcoming (self-study) webinar “The Thoracic Cage: Putting the Pieces Together for Oral, Pharyngeal and Respiratory Function” (Course #7317) from Motivations CEU 🎓
📌 Why you’ll want to check this out:
Dive into how the thoracic cage (rib cage + shoulder girdle + upper extremities) plays a central role in connecting the head/neck region with the pelvis/lower extremities — and how that impacts feeding, swallowing, breathing and sound production.
Learn to identify changes in alignment, mobility, stability and musculature in this region in both typically-developing infants and those with neuromuscular challenges.
Enhance your evaluation & treatment toolbox: for SLPs, OTs and PTs working in pediatrics, this course helps you integrate thoracic cage strategies into functional outcomes (feeding, swallowing, play, respiratory control).
🎥 Format & details:
2-hour webinar course
3 CEUs (or .3 CEUs) available
Price: $65 for live or self-study access
Instructor: Rona Alexander, PhD, CCC‑SP, BCS‑S, C/NDT
No live dates currently scheduled — self-study available anytime 🎯
👉 If you’re ready to deepen your understanding of how torso alignment and upper-body mechanics affect oral/pharyngeal/respiratory function in children — this is your chance. Register when you’re ready and start learning at your own pace.
