Target Audience: Speech-Language Pathologists
This spring, join us for an engaging and practical SLP training led by Michelle Richards, an experienced clinician and sought-after speaker in myofunctional therapy. Michelle’s MYO training goes beyond traditional speech-language therapy by examining how a client’s anatomy and physiology influence how they eat, breathe, speak, and sleep—and how these functions impact overall medical and dental health. She brings together a passion for learning and teaching with real-world experience as both a clinician and a mom, helping clients move beyond compensation to achieve meaningful, lasting improvement. Michelle is especially known for her work with “complex” cases, where she demonstrates the powerful, life-changing impact of myofunctional therapy.
