More information on special guest Sharon Moore:
Sharon Moore is a Speech Pathologist with 4 decades of clinical experience across a wide range of disorders of function in the upper airway. She has worked in clinical settings in Australia and London. Currently, she runs a Private Practice in Canberra, managing medical and dental specialist referrals for patients of all ages and is a member of the Transdisciplinary team for the Canberra Sleep Clinic. Orofacial Myofunctional principles are fully integrated into diagnosis, assessment and treatment of atypical or dysfunctional: breathing, swallowing, chewing, phonation, speech & breathing during sleep.

Sharon has a special interest in early identification of craniofacial and function & growth anomalies in non-syndromic children that influence airway patency during the day and during sleep. Recently, acknowledgement of the role of upper airway muscle function in management of sleep breathing disorders, hails a new era of relevance for work in the upper airway, and affirmation of her chosen clinical direction. With significant health morbidities of sleep disorders in all ages now widely known, Sharon believes there has never been a more important time for medical, dental and allied health professionals to work as a team to resolve airway breathing issues in early childhood. She is author of the book 'Sleep Wrecked Kids: Raising happy healthy children one sleep at a time'.
