Functional Assessment and Remediation of TOT's

Does your client or child have a tongue-tie? Tongue-tie is a common form of Tethered Oral Tissue (TOTs). Authors Robyn Merkel-Walsh and Lori Overland have developed a clear, evidence-based program - the Merkel-Walsh & Overland TOTs Protocol - that allows for the identification and functional assessment of tethered oral tissues (TOTs), most commonly referred to as "tongue-tie" or ankyloglossia. The book describes pre- and post-surgical treatment to avoid long-term consequences such as scar formation or reattachment.
