Functional Assessment and Remediation of TOTs (Tethered Oral Tissues)

Robyn Merkel-Walsh, Lori Overland

This is the first practical guide for speech language pathologists and related health professionals addressing the assessment and treatment of function for tethered oral issues (TOTs) in infants, children, and adults. In their combined 55-plus years of experience in speech pathology, Robyn Merkel-Walsh and Lori Overland recognized the need to look at TOTs beyond the structural rating scales, and in this comprehensive guide address the task analysis of the skills necessary to improve pre-feeding, feeding and speech in TOTs patients.

With input from two otolaryngologists, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and a chiropractor, this text offers a detailed assessment protocol, neuromuscular re-education strategies, explores surgical options, and discusses the importance of inter-professional collaboration of a TOTs team.

Authors, Robyn Merkel-Walsh and Lori Overland, have developed a comprehensive, evidenced-based program -- the Merkel-Walsh & Overland TOTs Protocol -- to assist in the identification and functional implications of Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs) -- commonly referred to as "tongue tie" or ankyloglossia.

This practical speech and feeding program includes a pre- and post-surgical treatment plan to avoid long-term issues, such as scarring and reattachment.
