OROFACIAL MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY focuses on remediation of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD), which are abnormal movements for positioning of the tongue, lips, jaw during speech, swallowing, or at rest. The most common type of OMD is tongue thrust.

​

SPEECH THERAPY focuses on receptive language, the ability to understand spoken words and expressive language and the ability to use words to express oneself. It deals with the mechanics of producing words such as articulation, pitch, fluency and volume, as well as the ability to make sounds correctly and combine sounds into words and sentences that are understandable. Speech therapists work with voice disorders, fluency (stuttering) and strengthening the oral and facial muscles used for eating. In addition, speech therapists work on cognitive skill development, and with older children, reading and written language.
