Let's Talk About Speech: Myofunctional Disorders

Does your child struggle with saying certain sounds? Have they received speech therapy for years, with no success? Maybe your child has a myofunctional disorder...

In this episode of Let's Talk About Speech, we discuss the topic of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders and related speech therapy. This specific type of treatment can be a game changer for children with certain oral motor and speech sound challenges. Our special guest is Katarina Fray, M.A., M.S., CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist, Myofunctional Therapist, and owner of Bonita Speech Services. Katarina helps to debunk myths related to myofunctional disorders and therapy. She also helps families identify the signs of a myofunctional disorder in their child, such as open mouth posture, loud breathing while sleeping, and messy eating.
