Is your child having trouble pronouncing words clearly? Our specialized speech therapy helps them improve their speech sounds, build confidence, and communicate effectively with family, teachers, and peers
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy targets tongue resting posture. The tongue’s resting posture affects speech articulation, swallowing, breathing, sleeping, and dentition. Myofunctional therapy gives children the tools they need to move their tongue, lips, and jaw independently for appropriate speech, tongue resting posture, and swallowing. Myofunctional therapy also affects children’s sleep and overall health!
We help post/pre tongue tie releases, mouth breathing, and weak oral muscles that can affect unclear speech, messy/picky eating, and fitful sleep. Through targeted myofunctional therapy, we strengthen these muscles to promote healthy oral function, clearer speech, and improved overall well-being. Tongue resting posture is an important piece to treating holistically.

From breastfeeding difficulties to picky eating and G-tube transitions, we support children in developing safe, confident eating habits. Our expert-led, one-on-one therapy is tailored for infants, toddlers, and older children—offering the personalized care and attention that larger clinics often can’t provide.
Oral habits can negatively influence tongue posture. Therefore, is necessary to eliminate oral habits before proceeding with myofunctional therapy. An oral habit is a habit that is repetitive and sometimes automatic. Some examples of oral habits, include: thumb sucking, finger sucking, finger nail biting, chewing on hair, biting a bottle, etc. We help children break thumb-sucking, pacifier use, and other oral habits with a fun and stress-free approach. Oral habits can change the structure of teeth as they are growing, influence lip and tongue competence, and may even be affecting their articulation. If you are concerned that your child may have an oral habit, please contact a speech therapist near you.
