S7:E60: Jackie Becerra-Lising, Amanda Gurrola, Dr. Vanessa Peterson - Down Syndrome and Airway

My guests today are Jackie Becerra-Lising, Amanda Gurrola, and Dr. Vanessa Peterson.
Jackie, is a dental hygiene graduate from Loma Linda University and has been practicing as a clinical dental hygienist for the past 19 years. Since having her second child with Down Syndrome and having limited resources, she decided to specialize her education in the field of myofunctional therapy and received her certificate of completion from the MyoMentor program in 2021. She is now owner and OMT of Upside Down Frown Care, LLC. Her love for knowledge in airway includes having taken courses targeting the Down Syndrome population through Talk Tools.
Amanda's passion to work with children and provide for her community led her to the field of Speech Language Pathology. She holds experience in the hospital, public school, and private clinic settings where she has treated a variety of clients and disorders: language disorders, articulation & phonology, fluency disorders, Down Syndrome, ASD, voice disorders, acquired neurological disorders, tracheostomized clients, and AAC.
Dr. Vanessa Peterson studied Biology and Chemistry at Baylor University and attend dental school at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Then she headed north to Portland, Oregon for her orthodontic residency at Oregon Health & Science University. Dr. Peterson practiced orthodontics locally in the Inland Empire before opening her own practice Synergi Orthodontic Specialists.
