🚫 MYO MYTH BUSTER! 🚫

MYTH: "Myofunctional therapy only helps with tongue posture"
TRUTH: It impacts speech AND feeding!

SPEECH FIXES:
- Eliminates lisps from tongue thrust
- Improves /s/, /z/, /t/, /d/ sounds
- Increases speech clarity

FEEDING FIXES:
- Reduces messy eating/swallowing
- Stops food spillage from poor lip seal
- Improves chewing patterns

Myo therapy = physical therapy for your mouth! When we fix muscle function, both speech AND feeding improve! πŸ’ͺ

🌟 FEEDING STAR OF JUNE! 🌟

Our amazing Bryson went from only eating pizza and chicken parm to trying apple, toast, oranges, eggs, and sausage since March! πŸ•βž‘οΈπŸŽπŸžπŸŠ

Best part? He said he wants to work hard but doesn't want to be feeding star again because "other kids deserve a chance" πŸ₯ΉπŸ’•

✨ Pediatric Therapy Rooms for Lease – Join Our Collaborative Care Team in Tampa!

We’re subleasing 1–2 rooms in our warm, family-friendly clinic right across from Dr. Sierra, a trusted airway and tongue tie dentist at Kids Smiles Pediatric Dentistry.

This is more than just office space β€” it's a chance to join a collaborative pediatric care environment where referrals happen naturally and providers support each other under one roof.

πŸ”Ή 1 large room (great for play therapy), 1 medium-sized room, and 1 small room

We’re a team of speech-language pathologists specializing in feeding and orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT), and we know firsthand that kids with feeding or speech issues rarely need just one provider. Nutrition, psychology, medical care, and oral motor support are often all connected.

We’re especially excited to support local businesses or solo providers who want to serve children (or adults with feeding/OMT needs) without needing a full office.

πŸ“ 6323 Memorial Hwy, Suite 121, Tampa, FL 33615
πŸ“ž 813-435-3355
πŸ“§ Nicole@BaysidePediatricTherapy.com

Rent includes all utilities: electric, water, internet, and more.

Let’s refer within the same building, support each other’s practices, and provide the kind of integrated care our patients deserve. πŸ’™

🍽️ MEALTIME MONDAY 🍽️

Summer routines are different, but mealtime structure still matters for picky eaters! 🌞

Keep the Schedule:
⏰ Stick to meals + snacks every 2-3 hours
πŸ–οΈ Use consistent plates/cups even for picnics

πŸ’‘ Picky Eater Pro Tips:
Serve preferred foods alongside new ones
No separate meals - offer components they can choose from
Stay neutral: "Here's what's for lunch" (not "Try this!")
Trust their appetite - some days they eat more, some less

Summer Feeding Wins:
πŸ₯’ Let kids explore new summer foods without pressure
🍎 Farmer's market trips = food exploration

Washing fruits = sensory exposure

Remember: Exposure without pressure builds acceptance! 🌟
