Description: This episode of the Pep Talk podcast is all about debunking myths of oral facial myofunctional therapy for SLPs. The guest, Dina Izaguirre, is a certified speech language pathologist and oral facial myologist with extensive experience in the field. The conversation covers the basics of oral facial myofunctional health, the importance of tongue resting posture, and the symptoms of sleep disordered breathing. Dina emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to therapy, working collaboratively with other professionals to address the root causes of myofunctional disorders. Myofunctional therapy is more than just oral motor therapy. It focuses on reeducating the muscles for optimal breathing, chewing, and swallowing. Nasal breathing is important for health and well-being, while mouth breathing can lead to shallow breathing and increased susceptibility to infection. It's important for SLPs to consider underlying issues like sleep-disordered breathing when treating speech and articulation difficulties.
