An assessment is recommended when the child shows delays in language development, produces sounds inaccurately, is difficult to understand, or has trouble communicating with others.

The assessment includes case history, standardized tests, and direct observation of the child's language and communication. The goal is to establish a speech-language diagnosis and a personalized intervention plan.

Speech-language therapy consists of interactive sessions in which the child learns to correct pronunciation, expand vocabulary, and improve fluency and expressiveness. Exercises are adapted to the child's age and level.

Myofunctional therapy aims to retrain oro‑facial functions involved in breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speech. Work is done through specific exercises, sometimes supported by modern devices such as Froggy Mouth, Myo Munchee, or Myospot.

Duration varies depending on the child's difficulties and level of engagement. In speech‑language therapy, progress is gradual, sometimes in small but steady steps. In myofunctional therapy, length depends on the severity of dysfunctions and the response to exercises.

The speech‑language assessment focuses on language, articulation, communication, and expressive skills development. The myofunctional assessment targets oro‑facial functions — breathing, chewing, swallowing, tongue posture, and the tone of the involved muscles.

Most children adapt quickly when they encounter a friendly environment and a clinician prepared to meet their needs. Warm attention, an empathetic approach, and the trust established facilitate therapeutic progress, which is essential for good outcomes.
