Services at
Speech & Myo
of Lubbock

At Speech and Myofunctional Therapy of Lubbock, we provide therapy for infants, children, and adults in Lubbock and the surrounding West Texas communities.

 

Our care is personalized, evidence-based, and designed to make progress feel achievable—whether it’s supporting parents with their infant with pre and post tongue-tie support, helping a toddler with open mouth breathing, directing a school-age child with speech clarity, or guiding adults through recovery after a stroke.

In-Person & Online Therapy Services

The in-person therapy services provides a face-to-face interaction, a stronger therapeutic connection, and the ability to assist the patient with tactile cues and hand-over-hand assistance as needed during the therapy session. 

 

The online therapy services offers greater convenience, flexibility, and accessibility, particularly for those that live out of town or with time constraints. 

 

A hybrid approach is also an option, combining both in-person and online therapy services for maximum benefit.
