My F.A.S.T. Myo Screener was designed to be a super simple way to check off a patient's symptoms using the provided checklist, make sense of the findings using the results form, and refer patients, as needed, with the provided referral form, all in a matter of minutes.
I’m Hallie Bulkin, a Speech-Language Pathologist, Pediatric Feeding Specialist and Certified Myofunctional Therapist (CMT®) turned myo educator and mentor. I’ve helped thousands of clinicians learn how to screen, assess and treat patients with Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs).
Myo screening is a valuable tool because it’s the first step toward identifying the root cause of a patient’s symptoms. If something is “off” the body will compensate. And it turns out that there are some really common symptoms among pediatric and adult patients with undiagnosed OMDs.
Since OMDs do not resolve on their own and the body finds a way to compensate, these issues snowball over time…
…and that’s usually when patients come to see us with symptoms ranging from speech sound disorders and lisps to picky eating, TMJ issues, facial pain and/or orthodontic relapse… all because their underlying orofacial myo disorder or OMD remains undiagnosed and untreated.
Myo disorders are so common that I guarantee you’ve got patients on your caseload right now with an undiagnosed orofacial myofunctional disorder.
