• Medical & Vocal: Swallowing disorders (Dysphagia), tracheostomy care, and head/neck cancer rehabilitation.
Myofunctional Therapy (OMD) & Airway Health: Addresses abnormal oral muscle patterns affecting breathing, swallowing, sleep, and dental alignment. Common signs include persistent mouth breathing, tongue-tie, TMJ pain/jaw tension, and post-orthodontic relapse.
Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC): Uses non-tech tools to high-tech speech-generating devices for non-speaking or low-speaking individuals. Fact: Research consistently proves that AAC supports and encourages natural speech development—it does not hinder it.
