At Therapy Matters NY SLP, we believe that true progress begins with an understanding of the main body functions—not just its structures.
That’s why every infant, child, and adult who walks through our doors begins with our signature FUNCTIONAL Assessment—a uniquely comprehensive evaluation that goes far beyond a traditional screening.
We look at the body as an interconnected system where the core functions—
feeding & swallowing, breathing, sleeping, speaking, and oral rest posture—work together to support one's long-term wellness.
Unlike traditional evaluations that focus on isolated symptoms, this assessment examines the body as an integrated system. When one function is disrupted, compensations often appear in other areas, creating patterns that persist unless the underlying imbalance is addressed.
Our highly trained speech, feeding, oral-motor, and myofunctional therapists analyze how each system interacts, identify the root causes beneath the symptoms, and create a personalized plan that restores balance, efficiency, and comfort.
We also collaborate with ENTs, orthodontists, physical therapists, and other specialists to ensure that no other body function is overlooked.
The FUNCTIONAL Assessment may be right for you or your child if you notice:
• Mouth breathing, open-mouth posture, or drooling
• Snoring, restless sleep, daytime fatigue, or difficulty focusing
• Teeth crowding, narrow palate, or orthodontic relapse
• Persistent articulation errors despite months (or years) of speech therapy
• Picky eating, messy eating, or difficulty chewing meats or raw veggies safely
✨ At TMNY, we don’t chase symptoms—we uncover the “why,” empower the “how,” and support the whole system.
