"I just finished this course last night and I supported a family today with a newborn baby who has a tongue tie. I was able to assess this baby's suck with a deeper knowledge and understanding of what was going on and why. I was able to use the exercises to assess the palate and the tongue and give advice and guidance accordingly. I just need to memorise the exercises and which scenarios they are used in!"
