3. To know the disorders of the normal functioning of the stomatognatic system;
4. To gather, select and interpret the assessment data of the stomatognatic system;
5. To plan the therapeutical intervention for each of the disorders.
Syllabus:
1. The stomatognatic system: chewing, sucking, swallowing, speaking (voice and articulation) and respiration;
2. The stomatognatic functions and its disorders. Nosologic classifications of voice, oro-facial motility and swallowing disorders;
3. Anamnesis and Assessment of the three components;
4. Therapeutical intervention in the disorders of voice, oro-facial motricity and swallowing.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The programatic contents (PC) were delineated in terms of Learning Goals (LG) of the course. So,
PC1 corresponds to LG1
PC2 corresponds to LG2
PC3 corresponds to LG3
PC4 corresponds to LG4
CP1 focus on the knowledge and ability to understand about the different stomatognathic functions.
The CP2 focus on the knowledge about the different (clinical) cases with disorders of the stomatognathic functions.
The CP3 focus on the knowledge and ability to understand the different assessment methods of the stomatognathic functions.
The CP4 focus on the knowledge and ability to understand about different methods of intervention in stomatognathic functions.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
- Expositive and supervised practice.
- Technical resources, including multimedia.
- Observation, analysis and discussion of cases.
Assessment: continuous with written test and case studies.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Since the course consists of theoretical and practical lessons, the teaching methods used fall within the best procedures used in this area. The development of knowledge and skills of this course will be conducted through an ongoing review of learning, tutored by their joint reflection and practice in the classroom.
