56: Speech Sounds, Feeding Clues

When a child comes in for speech sounds, Holly Probst-Bowers wants to watch them eat. Holly, a Speech-Language Pathologist and owner of Atwell Therapeutics in Houston, joins me to talk about how myofunctional training changed her evaluations, her treatment sessions, and the questions she asks families.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why Holly includes feeding in her speech evaluations, even when parents haven’t raised feeding concerns.
• What she looks for in tongue position, lip closure, and oral structure, and why she asks about sleep.
• What she took from the MyoHacker Mini, including case discussions, movement, and getting kids out of the therapy chair.
