How to Tell Current Patients We Are Instituting Something New

How to tell current patients we are Instituting Something New? 

I just completed the orofacial myology training course. How do I tell my patients and parents that we are now instituting something new and different from what we have been doing in articulation treatment up to this point? I don’t want them to be upset with me.
This has come up often in our class. Here is what I would say and how I would handle that situation:
“I wanted to look deeper into a very specialized area to enhance (child’s name)’s therapy experience and to make it far more likely that he will succeed and be able to habituate his new sounds. I enrolled in a very intensive course to be able to do this and will explain the details and benefits of each exercise as we continue to move forward.”
You can change the words a bit to suit your clients; however, it is important that you instill optimism and confidence in them regarding this new important therapy method you now possess.
