Our specialized therapy focuses on strengthening and coordinating the muscles used in speech and swallowing, helping to improve articulation, fluency, and overall oral motor function. Our therapists have completed post-graduate training in various methods, including Talk Tools and Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing, which can be used in therapy to support with speech and feeding disabilities and improving the oral motor function.
Correct swallowing relies on the coordinated action of tongue and mouth muscles, and when performed correctly, the tongue presses against the roof of the mouth during swallowing. Myofunctional therapy aims to strengthen and retrain these muscles to improve resting posture, speech precision, breathing alignment, and swallowing function. At Bliss, we offer therapy for both children and adults exhibiting signs of OMD.
