Collaboration and patient care with Linda DβOnofrio has been fun and informative! I highly recommend her class to all my colleagues in the dental and ENT field! Her focus is on the impact of oral function such as chewing and swallowing on oral development, occlusion, smile, facial pain, etc. Sheβs also armed with a nice collection of relevant research if anyone is interested!

I am lucky enough to have attended all of Linda's OMD courses and each one was phenomenal! Each class was filled with valuable information including the evidence base, implications across the lifespan, case study examples, and videos. I came away with a better understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and function of the face, tongue, and oral cavity.

I can't tell you how much Linda has inspired, motivated, and educated me on oromyofunctional speech disorders. These courses are just fantastic. Thank you Linda from the bottom of my heart for sharing this and inspiring me to jump further into this area of speech pathology.
