      Cet ouvrage propose une approche du concept craniosacral permettant d’éclairer le lecteur sur l’impact que peut avoir une dysfonction présente au niveau de la sphère orofaciale et temporomandibulaire sur des domaines ou champs aussi variés que l’axe vertébral, la respiration, l’occlusion dentaire, la posture, et plus largement sur les différents systèmes du corps. Illustré de plus de 250 dessins, photographies et schémas, ce livre fait le point sur : les différentes phases de la croissance ;le développement des fonctions orofaciales et leur impact décisif sur celui de la face, sa structure et son équilibre ;les dysfonctions de la naissance à l’âge adulte ;l’articulation temporomandibulaire ;les approches orthodontiques et ostéopathiques ;la place de la collaboration interprofessionnelle et l’articulation des différentes thérapeutiques.Ce livre exhaustif permet au praticien d’établir le lien entre les différents composants de la sphère orale, le crâne et le reste du corps. Garantissant une maîtrise de l’anatomie, il participe ainsi à la compréhension des troubles du développement qui doivent être envisagés et pris en charge aussi précocement que possible. Il accompagnera dans leur pratique ostéopathes, kinésithérapeutes, dentistes, orthodontistes et orthophonistes dans l’approche de l’appareil manducateur, l’articulation temporomandibulaire, et les traitements orthodontiques.

      En France, 700 000 personnes âgées de 3 à 18 ans sont diagnostiquées comme souffrant d'un trouble du spectre autistique (TSA). Les parents sont évidemment impliqués auprès de ces enfants dont le fonctionnement particulier peut les dérouter, et de nombreuses associations s'investissent sur ce thème. Quelques millions de personnes, composant un public très varié, peuvent donc être à la recherche de supports adaptés pour la prise en charge de ces enfants avec des éléments explicatifs rigoureux mais accessibles. Le présent ouvrage est dédié aux professionnels qui sont amenés à traiter avec ce large public, confronté aux TSA chez l’enfant. Il s’articule en 3 grandes parties : Une première partie dédiée aux bases théoriques.Puis, l’auteure propose 100 modèles d’exercices regroupés en 2 parties : Structuration de la pensée, qui s’appuie notamment sur l’identification simple d’un objet et de sa représentation, puis sur l’identification par analogie, en incluant la discrimination d’un critère.Structuratio... linguistique, qui comprend la désignation lexicale, l’écoute active, l’expression et enfin la manipulation des structures morphosyntaxiques.On parle de « modèles » car les exercices sont d'abord destinés à être accomplis directement. Mais ils peuvent aussi servir de modèles invitant à la conception d'autres exercices similaires à partir de ressources de proximité, permettant donc de nombreux développements potentiels aux lecteurs. Ce livre est accompagné d’un minisite qui contient tous les exercices, et permet au professionnel d’imprimer séparément chaque fiche d’exercice.
