   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. Connect with Holly: Follow Holly on Instagram @atwelltherapeutics or visit Atwell Therapeutics to learn about her team or book a free 15-minute consultation.

   55: The ALF Is More Than Moving Teeth

   Dr. Julia Kagan joins me to explore the ALF appliance through a whole-body lens, including cranial motion, tongue-palate input, neuroregulation, and why the body’s response matters just as much as the appliance itself. We also dig into laser therapy, the anterior coupling reflex, and what can happen when we pay attention to the sensory and neurologic information our patients are giving us. In this episode, we talk about: How the ALF can support cranial motion, neuromyofunctional growth, and regulation How laser therapy may influence fascia, muscle function, and sensory-motor feedback Why listening to patients, parents, and the body’s response can change clinical decision-making Connect with Dr. Julia Kagan: https://www.integrativewny.com Connect with Karindy: https://www.myohackerslp.com/ Instagram: @myohackerslp and @theintuitivemyohacker

   54: How to Get on the Same Page to Make Airway Decisions

   When you have a dozen possible root causes & recommendations, the answer isn’t to do everything all at once. Instead, it’s best to identify what is disrupting your child’s daily life, separate what you know from what you’re still questioning, and choose the next useful step that won’t leave you and your family feeling crazy.. In this episode, Karindy helps you move out of overwhelm and into action by showing you how to prioritize concerns, navigate differences between caregivers, release the pressure to “fix” everything, and create a focused 90-day plan.
