This workshop provides comprehensive training on Motor Speech Treatment Protocol (MSTP). Day one starts with sessions on speech sound disorders, atypical speech movements, and the Informal Tool for Early Motor Speech (ITEMS). Participants will learn to identify and assess atypical speech movements and apply the ITEMS tool through case studies.
