TRAINING
PIOMI is the only oral motor intervention for preterm infants that has published intervention fidelity (Lessen, et al 2015) based on a standardized training program.
The standardized PIOMI Training Program is available on-site, via virtual webinar, or downloaded. The instructional tool is available in 10 languages. In-person or virtual training includes a demonstration video and hands-on practice. In this competency-based instruction, Dr. Knoll evaluates return demonstrations and provides PIOMI Provider Certificates upon completion.
"I wanted to express a very sincere thank you for sharing your clinical expertise and educator excellence with the NICU family here at Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital in the Lehigh Valley. The seminar was refreshing, interesting and a valuable tool and strategy to offer our NICU population. The NICU family inclusive of all the Nurses, Physicians and Therapists look forward to enriching and enhancing the lives of the neonatal population with the use of the PIOMI tool. We all look forward to enriching our professional talents through continued communication and dialogue. A sincere thank you for your time energy and talent."
"Our PIOMI on-site training was superb! Brenda personalized instruction for our entire team including RNs, LIPs, OTs, SLPs, IT department and community feeding team partners. PIOMI quickly became an integral part of preemie care due to the outstanding presentation and guidance.”
