Utah Speech Success LLC

Offered in person at our Provo office or virtually through a secure platform. SPEECH THERAPY is for clients who have difficulty producing speech sounds clearly in a way that impacts their ability to communicate clearly. MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY is for clients who need therapy to help retrain the tongue, lips, and facial muscles to support healthy breathing, swallowing, speech, and oral development. Indications that a client may benefit from myofunctional therapy include concerns with: - Teeth and jaw development (open bite, crowded teeth, overbite, high palate) - Relapse after braces or other orthodontic treatment - Open mouth breathing - Eating concerns (avoiding certain foods, taking a long time to eat or eating too fast, messy or loud eating, overstuffing or very small bites, etc) - Difficulty with saliva control - Oral habits: thumbsucking, nailbiting, prolonged pacifier use, etc. - Tongue or Lip tie - Difficulty with feeding as an infant (latch, transitioning to solid foods, etc.) - Poor sleep (snoring, restless, daytime tiredness) Click on "Request Appointment" to schedule a free 15 minute consultation or a one hour evaluation appointment. Also available is email through the website contact form or by calling/texting 385-450-5080. Consultations: An optional free 15 minute virtual consultation is available. This is an opportunity to meet the therapist and ask questions. Evaluations: Evaluations typically last about an hour. They typically involve a case history, an in-depth oral structure and functioning exam, eating and drinking observation, and speech sound production. Therapy sessions: Therapy sessions are 25 minutes weekly. Assignments are given for home practice. For children, parent attendance in sessions and involvement are a key piece to therapy success.
