Welcome to Special Kids Speech

Speech and Language Therapy

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

We work to individualize intervention focusing on improving receptive, expressive, and pragmatic speech and language skills. Areas of focus often include articulation, apraxia of speech, augmentative and alternative communication, fluency, auditory processing, and reading comprehension.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

We work closely with dentists, pediatricians, and ENT specialists to ensure the best care for your child. Oral Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) focuses on the neuromuscular re-education and re-patterning of the oral and facial muscles. This includes facial exercises and behavior modification techniques to encourage proper tongue posture, as well as enhance breathing, chewing, and swallowing.
