This panel discussion will allow attendees to engage the morning's lineup of speakers with questions addressing key topics related to pediatric sleep-disordered breathing and orofacial myofunctional disorders, focusing on diagnosis, treatment, and interdisciplinary management.

Learning Objectives:

After this session, attendees will be able to:

Identify and screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in pediatric patients, understanding its behavioral, neurocognitive, growth, and cardiometabolic impacts to improve early detection and treatment.
Gain the skills to recognize orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) and integrate Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) into their practice, collaborating effectively with therapists to address malocclusion and airway issues.
Understand the role of craniofacial interventions in managing pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (PSDB) and apply this knowledge in developing interdisciplinary treatment plans.
