Speaking Problems
Oromyofacial Issues and Speaking Problems
Has your child been in speech therapy, working on the same sound for 6+ months and not seen any changes? This is a warning sign that structurally - something is amiss.* Typical articulation therapy isn’t enough if there are structural issues (e.g., a tongue tie) and muscle weakness and deficits that need to be addressed. Myofunctional therapy assesses the structures of the mouth and face, as well as the whole body, when evaluating articulation errors.
*In typically developing children.

How We Can Help
BreatheWorks clinicians analyze your speech both in structured tasks and conversation, and map your voice quality, resonance and pitch. Our team develops individualized treatment plans to re-educate core body support, posture, respiration, and orofacial musculature. This can be a complex strategy involving your tongue, lips, jaw, pharynx, and head and neck muscles. The aim is optimal mobility, range of motion, symmetry, strength, and coordination. It is a full-body approach. Each person is unique, of course, but we are often able to treat and discharge in 3 or 4 months.
Talk, eat, sleep, breathe better.
Feel better.
