Toddler Myofunctional Therapy Program 24 months - 3 Years old
This Program is Excellent for Children with Special Needs
The Toddler Myofunctional Therapy Program at MyoWay is a targeted initiative designed for children aged 24 months to 3 years. This program focuses on optimizing oral and facial muscle function during a critical stage of early development. By addressing emerging oral habits, supporting proper speech and eating skills, and fostering healthy growth patterns, our program aims to promote a solid foundation for future developmental milestones and overall well-being.
Program Objectives
Enhance Oral Function and Habits
The program addresses common oral challenges in toddlers, such as thumb sucking, mouth breathing, or improper chewing patterns. We work to establish healthy oral habits and improve muscle function to support normal growth and development.
Support Speech and Language Development
By focusing on the coordination of oral muscles, including the tongue, lips, and jaw, the program helps improve speech clarity and language skills. Proper muscle function is essential for the development of clear, articulate speech and effective communication.
Promote Healthy Eating Patterns
The program aims to improve chewing skills and address any feeding difficulties. Encouraging proper chewing and swallowing techniques supports better nutrition and a positive eating experience.
Foster Optimal Facial and Jaw Development
Early intervention helps ensure that facial and jaw growth occurs harmoniously. By supporting proper muscle function and alignment, we contribute to healthy development of the dental arches and overall facial structure.
