Myofunctional Therapy

Pediatric myofunctional speech therapy helps children develop healthy oral muscle patterns for speaking, eating, and breathing. This therapy focuses on strengthening and coordinating the lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw to support clear speech, proper swallowing, and nasal breathing.

Many children benefit from myofunctional therapy when they have habits such as open-mouth posture, tongue thrust, thumb sucking, or difficulty chewing and swallowing. These patterns can also impact speech clarity, dental development, and even sleep quality.

Through playful, targeted exercises, our speech-language pathologist helps your child learn how to rest their tongue correctly, close their lips, and breathe through their nose — building the foundation for strong communication skills and overall oral health.
