U Concept Academy 3. – Myofunctional therapies and trainers in speech therapy

January–February 2026 | Online + In-person course for speech therapists

In speech therapy, functional disorders that require new solutions are becoming increasingly common.
In many cases, effective treatment of myofunctional disorders is now unthinkable without close cooperation between speech therapy and medicine. The U Concept Academy's next professional course, designed specifically for speech therapists, provides theoretical knowledge as well as a practice-oriented insight into the functioning of the head and neck region, the background of breathing problems, and the correct use of myofunctional trainers.

During the training, you will learn from leading professionals who deal with children's respiratory, sleep, orthodontic, and functional problems on a daily basis—and who present therapeutic options through a practical approach and real-life cases.

If you are a speech therapist and would like to gain a deeper insight into the practical application of myofunctional therapies, then our course is for you.

The aim of the training is to introduce you to a tool that will support your patients' development in the long term.

If you would like to expand your therapeutic toolkit and support your patients with new, effective methods, and are open to learning about the theory and practice of using myofunctional trainers, then take part in this professional course specially designed for speech therapists.
