MNRI® Oral-Facial Motor Education Clinic
This is a highly specialized educational clinic for infants and children struggling with the development of oral motor functions. Developmentally expected oral motor functions include breathing, swallowing, eating, facial expressions, and talking. Proper development of the oral motor functions is an essential basis for cognition and learning. Children who may benefit from this specialized educational clinic include those with limited eating skills, feeding tube dependency, and/or delayed communication development.
MNRI® Oral-Facial Motor Education Clinic is a four-day event, offering each participant five sessions per day. Participants will receive sessions of fundamental MNRI® exercises designed to restore and facilitate maturation of primary reflexes to support development of oral-motor function. One of the five sessions will be conducted by an MNRI® Oral-Facial/Breathing Reflex Integration Specialist.
There are two OFM teams to choose from.
Team One with Yichien Su, MS CCC-SLP:
Team One is led by Yichien Su who will provide one daily session of Oral-Facial Reflex Integration exercises with Oral Motor Specific learning activities. Yichien is an MNRI® Core Specialist and instructor for MNRI Oral-Facial Reflex integration classes. She is a NJ/FL licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with expertise in pediatric feeding disorders. Participants who elect to see Yichien during this specialty clinic will pay $350 per hour ($1,400 total) directly to Speech Unlimited LLC as well as $4,600 directly to SMEI for the four daily sessions with other MNRI® Core Specialists.
Team Two with MNRI Oral-Facial Motor Reflex Integration Specialists:
Registrants who do not wish to or cannot be scheduled with Yichien will be placed on Team Two to receive daily specialized Oral-Facial Reflex Integration exercises from an OFM Specialist along with the four sessions per day of fundamental MNRI® exercises. Team Two participants pay $6,000 directly to SMEI upon registration.
An MNRI® Reflex Assessment with Dr. Masgutova can be requested at an additional fee of $750 payable to SMEI and requires a separate registration.

SMEI Cancellation and Refund Policy
MNRI Family Conferences are staffed by a diverse field of professionals who have been certified as Core Specialists. Many of these professionals run their own practice in addition to assisting us. As such, some conferences may have a limited number of staff.
In order to provide the best service possible for our families, we limit the ratio of Client to Specialist to 1|1.
With our desire to maintain a high level of service, cancellation of registrants may occur if there are not enough Staff. Registrants will be informed of this 10 days before the event takes place. If SMEI is forced to cancel any registrants, a full refund of the conference fees will be given. Cancellations will be offered first on a voluntary basis. If there are not enough volunteers, cancellation protocol will be enacted starting with the most recent registrants.
Full refunds will be given for registration cancellation up to 21 days prior to the conference.
A 25% administration charge will be retained for cancellation 11-20 days prior to the conference.
Cancellation within 10 days of the conference is non-refundable due to the financial commitments that the organization has made to hotels, travel expenses and salaries of Core Specialists from around the world.
We recommend that attendees who will be flying do not purchase their flight until after the 10-day window has elapsed to avoid a nonrefundable circumstance with the airline. SMEI is not liable for any ticket costs related to the course being canceled. SMEI is not liable for any costs related to transportation (airline tickets, train, taxi, etc) due to the cancellation of an event.
* A 2.5% transaction fee (processing fee) will be withheld on all refunds that were processed using credit card/PayPal. If a participant wishes the refund to be paid directly to their account via credit card/PayPal, PayPal may also charge the participant an additional 2.5% transaction fee (processing fee). Refund by check is available upon request.
For cancellation and refund requests related to health issues, family tragedy or other significant life events please contact us.
