9-12 month Down Syndrome population study request

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

I just received the following email from Lori Overland MS CCC/SLP

http://www.oromotosp.com and I thought maybe some of you would be

interested in the following study -or may know someone who is!

" Hi ,

.... I am working on my doctoral dissertation on the correlation

between lip closure for spoon feeding and lip closure for bilabial

sound production in a 9-12 month Down Syndrome population. If you

know of children who have not had oral motor therapy who would be

interested in participating in a study of this nature. It is a three

month study and at the end of the study I will do a complete oral

motor/feeding evaluation, free of charge. I would appreciate your

input! Thank You, Lori Overland "
