Our Services

At Kaleo Speech and Language, we believe in providing individualized treatment, accompanied by parent education, and a home program to foster long-term growth. Treatment programs include goals that we work towards so that the child is not burdened by forever therapy. Instead, we want to hit our goals so that our kids can still be kids! We specialize in specific treatment to increase skills in distinct areas of development.

Comprehensive myofunctional therapy, speech and language therapy services

Now collaborating with Detail Dental Kids working to increase airway health and wellness

Our airways are affected by incorrect patterns involving oral-tacial muscles that interfere with normal growth development or function of oral-facial structures. When the tongue operates incorrectly, the result is often decreased room to breathe, incorrect swallow patterns, and articulation deficits. Myofunctional therapy can correct these patterns.

Not only do long-term benefits of addressing motor patterns include improved feeding abilities

It is also increasing airway space and correcting rest posture can decrease symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, and language-based disorders! Kaleo Speech and Language provides comprehensive myofunctional therapy, speech and language therapy services.
