Assessing how facial and oral muscles work
At Speak With Us our team offers comprehensive assessment into facial and oral muscles' function, for proper speaking, eating, breathing and swallowing. We help to identify Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD's), such as tongue thrust, mouth breathing, low tongue posture and atypical swallowing, which can all lead to speech, feeding and dental issues.
Functional tongue-tie assessment
We also offer functional tongue-tie assessment, to determine how tongue restriction impacts speech and feeding. We look beyond the appearance of the frenulum to assess tongue mobility, oral motor skills and swallowing to determine if the tongue restriction/tie is causing functional issues, which impact on daily tasks. We also provide the necessary referrals to assist with tongue tie revisions.
Tongue mobility
We look beyond the appearance of the frenulum to assess how freely the tongue can move.
Oral motor skills
We assess oral motor skills to understand how any restriction impacts speech and feeding.
Swallowing
We assess swallowing to determine if the tongue restriction/tie is causing functional issues that impact on daily tasks.
Referrals for revision
Where needed, we provide the necessary referrals to assist with tongue tie revisions.
Assessment cost
Cost: 1 hour consultation + approx. 1.5-3 hours report, at the normal $193.99 per hour.
