COURSE DESCRIPTION

This

course will build on the information taught in the MNRI Facial Reflex

Integration course and develop on a deeper basis information on the Oral-Facial

motor reflexes emerging in uterine and infancy time development  that serve as the basis for all abilities

concerned with eating, and also articulation and speech. They play their

essential role for a broad range of needs:                                

·  

Human survival, including eating (and

olfactory system), breathing, and global oral neuro-cranial-vascular

function 

 

·  

Start human cognition process by/thanks to

oral-rooting, trigger orientation in space (left-right) and

motor-proprioceptive activity for changing the body position in space (rolling

over)

·  

Supply managing visual, auditory and vestibular

system input

·  

Impact at the “body-brain†mechanism

governing the connection between reflex patterns and muscle-tendon tone

regulation

 

·  

Coordination of different systems in

combinations: hand, mouth, ear, eye, tongue, neck, and cranial coordination

    systems

 

·  

Nonverbal, emotional expressions and verbal

communication (articulation)

·  

Language development (decoding and coding,

phoneme/sound programming and performance) and comprehension.

 

Oral-Facial

reflexes affect survival mechanisms and brainstem function though out of our

life, and also higher functions – speech and communication. The MNRI Oral-Facial

Reflex Integration Program techniques work to activate, restore and facilitate reflex

patterns, primary oral-motor coordination serving as the basis for the

maturation of more complex oral-motor skills, communication and cognition. Delay

in development and maturation of oral-facial reflexes can be caused by

congenital issues or traumatic events that occur in utero, at birth, or postnatally.

This delay next can negatively affect the survival (eating and breathing

problems), speech and comprehension formation. MNRI Facial Reflex program

techniques have been used with great success for children experiencing various

delays in communication development – approximately 7 of non-verbal children

out of 10 start their oral speech development.

MNRI

Oral-Facial Reflex Integration-Level 2 course explores:

 

·The general MNRI Method

and the role played by the Facial Reflex Integration Program for survival

·Neurophysiological

aspects of the dynamic and postural Oral-Facial reflexes and brainstem functioning

·Neurodevelopmental

aspects of the Oral-Facial reflexes and brain speech centers functioning

 

·Oral-facial reflexes and

how they relate to primary motor reflex patterns and oral- muscle activity

·Evolution of oral-facial

reflexes development within their basic®transitional®variant

patterns

·Oral-facial reflex

activity and how it relates to cognitive oral-motor programming and performance

in future articulation development

·The role of

inappropriately developed protection mechanisms and articulation/speech

programming

 

·The role oral-facial

reflexes play in establishing a foundation for oral-motor,

language-communication, cognitive development, and emotional and behavioral

regulation·    

·MNRI techniques to

assess, re-pattern, and integrate oral-facial reflexes within its developmental

dynamics

 

·MNRI techniques to assess

the mirror neurons activation for tongue activation, articulation/speech

imitation

·How to create an MNRI

oral-facial reflex integration home program for individual clients

 

·How to incorporate MNRI

Oral-Facial Reflex Integration course content into daily client and home

practice

 

Course Objectives:

 

Upon

successful completion of the three-day, 24-hour Oral-Facial Integration course,

participants:

 

1.   Learn about the

Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration SM (MNRI) Method

 

      a.   The

innate nature of the motor reflex system, and specifically, Oral-Facial aspect

of it

           

      b.   The

role of a reflex and its sensory, motor, and central and autonomic, cranial nervous

system mechanisms      c.   When,

why, and how the brain engages in negative protection versus positive

protection, learning and development

      d.   The physiological and psychological basis for

motor program strategies & developmental stages of oral-facial abilities & skills

 

      e.   The maturational role of oral-facial reflexes

within the primary motor reflex system and the impact of dysfunctional and

            pathological reflex patterns on daily life of children and adults with

developmental and neurodeficits.

 

2.

Learn the importance of oral-facial symmetry and the maturational progression

of certain oral-facial reflex

 

      a.   Identify

each reflex and their dynamics

 

      b.   Understand and explain the impact integration

of each oral-facial reflex can have on:

      

  ◠Protection

and survival

mechanisms including sucking, swallowing, breathing, rooting, fear paralysis, eating

and general oral neuro-     cranial-vascular function

                ◠Managing sensory input coming from the

upper part of the body, and oral-facial-cranial system    

 

                ◠Postural control and hand, mouth, ear, eye,

tongue, neck and cranial-nervous coordination systems

 

                ◠Nonverbal, emotional expressions, and

verbal communication (articulation and speech)

 

                ◠Related primary motor reflex patterns and

oral-motor abilities and skills

 

      c.   Explore

how oral-facial reflexes provide protection and support for the brain functions

and neurodevelopment, and for formation of higher skills

 

3.   Learn to implement MNRI

assessment techniques to determine the level of development of a reflex pattern

ie. integrated, dysfunctional or pathological) of oral-facial reflex proposed

by the course

 

      a.  Demonstrate

through supervised hands-on-application the ability to conduct an MNRI

assessment of the oral-facial reflex

 

4.   Learn to implement the

MNRI techniques to integrate each oral-facial reflex

     

            a.   Learn through

demonstration and hands-on-practice the MNRI techniques designed to activate

and integrate oral-facial reflexes, and to address oral-facial-cranial symmetry

issues

 

      b.   Learn through course discussion and instructor

demonstration how to deal with unique and challenging client situations using

MNRI method techniques in context of primary oral-motor activity and

articulation skills training

 

      c.   Demonstrate

for the course instructor the ability to apply correction/integration

procedures for each oral-facial reflex

 

5.   Learn to use course knowledge to create and apply an individual

MNRI program for clients with various challenges

           

a.   Use the MNRI pre-assessment techniques to

identify dysfunctional oral-facial reflexes

 

     b.  Develop an MNRI program for clients based on

assessment results and targeted individual challenges

 

c.   Explore with client family the potential
