Your child’s tongue posture when they’re resting (not speaking or eating) matters more than you think!

✔️ Proper posture: lips closed, tongue up, breathing through the nose
❌ Improper posture: Mouth open, tongue low can impact jaw growth, swallowing, and even sleep

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy helps guide healthy development from the inside out. 🧠👄

What is Apraxia of Speech?
It’s a motor speech disorder where the brain struggles to send the correct signals to the mouth to produce speech.
It’s not about muscle weakness — it’s about coordination.
💡 Kids with apraxia benefit from frequent, individualized speech therapy with lots of repetition and support.

Our Story

Sprout Therapy Services exists to provide hope for individuals when speech and language doesn't come easy.

Rikki and Eric DeGrove started Sprout Therapy Services in April of 2016. With more than a decade of experience as a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, Rikki has worked with children in school, clinic and home settings. Of course, helping kids with speech or language problems involves more than the therapy itself. As a mom of three, Rikki understands therapy from a parent's perspective and seeks to serve the whole family.

Rikki is one of only a few therapists in Colorado with specialized training in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. She received her training in OMT from the prestigious Coulson Institute: an International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM) certified course.
