CLINICAL SERVICES
Specialized care, shaped around the whole person.
We evaluate the connections among breathing and airway function, speech, oral movement, tongue posture, chewing, swallowing and daily function, then build treatment around each patient’s individual needs.
Orofacial myofunctional therapy
Evaluation and treatment for patterns involving the tongue, lips, jaw, oral rest posture, breathing, chewing, and swallowing.
Speech sound therapy
Individualized care for articulation and speech sound concerns, including errors that may be influenced by oral structure or function.
Oral-phase swallowing
Assessment and treatment of the voluntary oral stage of swallowing, including chewing, bolus control, tongue movement, and anterior-to-posterior transit.
Evaluation and planning
A focused evaluation helps identify strengths, concerns, contributing factors, and whether therapy or collaboration with another professional is appropriate.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A plan built from careful observation—not assumptions.
- Review of the primary concern, relevant history, and everyday impact
- Assessment selected for the individual and referral question
- Clear explanation of findings and recommended next steps
- Functional goals developed with the patient or family
- Collaboration with other professionals when appropriate and authorized
Not every speech sound or swallowing concern is caused by an orofacial myofunctional disorder. Evaluation helps determine which factors are relevant for the individual.
