Boston Children's Brookline2 Brookline Place Brookline, MA 02445Boston Children's Waltham9 Hope Ave. Waltham, MA 02453LDProgram@childrens.harvard.edu P: 617-355-2868For children being treated for articulation and feeding as isolated concerns, this form of therapy addresses the foundation—oral musculature. By understanding how these muscles orchestrate the intricate dance of articulation and chewing, therapists empower children to conquer challenges with newfound confidence. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the primary aim of orofacial myofunctional therapy is to create an optimal oral environment for growth and development. This means that by targeting the muscles first, we set the stage for improved breathing, feeding, and articulation skills. Function follows form, making Myofunctional Therapy a holistic solution.
2 Centennial Drive Peabody, MA 01960P: 978-535-3355 admin@buttonloop.comNeurofeedback is a form of biofeedback for the brain. What differentiates neurofeedback from treatment through medication is that the changes created in NF training actually alter brain physiology. Therefore, if NF is practiced sufficiently, the brain’s structure and firing patterns will change, causing the client to function more optimally at baseline (without further treatment). This process is possible through neuroplasticity, or the idea that the brain can reorganize itself.
