👄 Oh, the Things a Tongue Can Do!
A tongue can wiggle. A tongue can flop.
It can sneak out in pictures and never quite stop! 😛
But where does it rest when the wiggles are through?
And what does it do when your child starts to chew?
Does your little one’s mouth often hang open wide?
Does a thumb find its way for a cozy inside?
Does mealtime involve quite a curious show—
With tongue acrobatics wherever you go?
There’s more to that tongue than a raspberry sound—
It has everyday jobs all year round!
Orofacial myofunctional therapy focuses on how the tongue, lips, and other oral muscles work together for resting posture, breathing, chewing, and swallowing.
No scolding of thumbs. No “Your tongue is all wrong!”
We explore what’s happening and help skills grow strong. 💙
Wondering whether an evaluation would help your child? Let’s talk! We can discuss your concerns and whether therapy or another professional’s assessment is the right next step.
