Enjoying using the Orofacial Myology treatment program and questions about exercises in it – Republished

Myo Manual Treatment Program
I wanted to tell you that I am really enjoying using your Orofacial Myology manual.  It seems so much more organized that what I have received from other trainings.  It seems to make so much more sense than other information I may have learned.

I am a parent of a 3 year old. My child had a rough start, she was born early and was hospitalized for about 5 months with major complications including malignant sleep apnea, difficulty feeding, PDA ligation, IVH III (no shunt at this time), and a cerebellar stroke.... She, does not talk although she occasionally says mama and has said da, ba, no, and yes before. She has picked up sign language quite well, but her lack of expressive language is a concern. We are also, concerned because we have not been able to break her thumb sucking habit...

Nasality, Ankyloglossia and Articulation Protocol

Friday, 01 December 2023 by Administrator
orofacial--myology-nasality-ankyloglossia-articulation-protocolr
I recently assessed a seven year old girl who previously had surgery to release her tongue tie.  Her lingual range of motion appears good, (although after taking your course I’m going to do further assessment in this area).  She articulates sounds well at the single word level. The issue that is more noticeable than the articulation errors is hypernasality.  Why does her speech sound hypernasal?
