The F.A.S.T. Myo Screening gives you a simple framework to guide your observations. It focuses on four key areas: Function, Airway, Structure, and Tongue.

Instead of guessing what to look for, you'll know what to check and what findings may impact treatment.

This is more than a screening tool or framework. It helps you explain your findings clearly to patients, families, and other providers.

When you can say: "Here's what I found. Here's why it matters. Here's what we should do next.", that's clinical confidence and that's what helps build trust, stronger referral relationships, and better care.

Here's the question I ask before I close any feeding eval:

1️⃣ Did I actually watch this child eat? Not an oral motor screen but a functional feeding observation with familiar food, in a setup that mirrors home.

2️⃣ Did I ask about breathing? Airway status, nasal patency, swallow-breath coordination, sleep. A child working hard just to breathe has nothing left for feeding.

3️⃣ Did family context shape my assessment—or get added on at the end? Goals, mealtime dynamics, caregiver stress. These aren't soft data. They're the plan.

All three need to be there before I draw any conclusions.

A tongue tie diagnosis alone doesn't tell the whole story.

What matters most is understanding how oral restrictions impact feeding, oral motor skills, development, and overall function.

Tongue Tie Bootcamp was designed to help clinicians move beyond identification and build confidence in assessing function, interpreting findings, and supporting children and families with evidence-based care.
