A patient sits down in front of you, and you freeze.

Maybe it's the kid who's been in and out of speech therapy for years and can't seem to graduate for good. Maybe a parent looks at you and says, "Did you notice the roof of his mouth? Why does it look like that?" You're working in a private practice, a dental office, a school, a hospital, or somebody's living room, you're changing lives every day, and suddenly you're standing there wondering:

Am I looking at an orofacial myofunctional disorder?

How can I assess this?

What if I'm the first person to identify an issue and they don't trust that I know what I'm talking about?

I feel like I'm in over my head, and I'm not sure I know how to help this patient.

What treatment plan can I give them?

You weren't taught this in school, and neither were most of us. So you do the responsible thing and write the referral, and your patient gets a one-way ticket to Referral City, assuming there's even someone there who can see them. Meanwhile you drive home still thinking about that kid, because you knew something was going on and you didn't have the words for it yet.

Hallie Bulkin

I know that feeling, because I missed it in my own kid.

My youngest was a picky eater, nursing her had hurt for 13 months, and she sat in the first percentile on the weight charts while nobody seemed bothered. Then one night before bed, once I'd started learning myo and TOTs (tethered oral tissues, like tongue and lip ties), Lily flipped her head back, I got a look under her tongue, and there it was. She had a tongue tie, and I was almost in tears, because I treated feeding for a living and I'd walked right past it.

I'd gotten there the expensive way, too. I paid well over $3,000 for a myo training, plus travel and lodging, took every note, asked every question, and came home having learned a whole lot and practiced none of it. So I offered every one of my feeding families a free myo evaluation just to get my hands on as many faces as I could, and around half of those kids turned out to have an orofacial myofunctional disorder.

They had been on my caseload the whole time. Once you open your myo eyes, you can't unsee it, and I built this course so you'd get those eyes without the plane ticket.

You don't need another 40 hours of slides. You need to watch this done, start to finish.

Most of us assume that the fix is more hours and more credits, and then we come back from a big course more overwhelmed than when we left. Myo isn't a cookie-cutter treatment, so a list of exercises was never gonna be enough. It's a lot like learning to dance, where you need the fundamentals and then you need to see the moves and try them yourself, until you can put together the right ones for the patient in front of you.

That's why we built the only instant-access, self-paced online intro to myo course, and it's all function and no fluff.

Start this weekend, and you could be using what you've learned with patients as early as Monday morning. Each section opens as soon as you finish the one before it, so you're never waiting on a start date.

Here’s the full lesson breakdown

Common vs Correct: see what you've been missing.

You'll learn what correct oral rest posture and breathing look like, from the tip of the tongue down to the toes, along with the classic signs of OMDs, mouth breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, malocclusion, TOTs, and oral habits. By the end, you'll start catching things in your own caseload that you walked past last week.

See every lesson
  • Chronicles of Myo: The History of Orofacial Myology
  • Clarifying and Defining Orofacial Myology ("Myo") & Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders ("OMDs")
  • Connected From The Tip of Your Tongue Down to Your Toes: Anatomy & Physiology
  • Correct Oral Rest Posture, Breathing Pattern & The Goals of Myo
  • Classic Signs/Symptoms of OMDs
  • Combating The Enemy: Mouth Breathing, Sleep Disordered Breathing, Malocclusion & More
  • Cutting The Cord: Tethered Oral Tissues
  • Cessation of Dreaded Oral Habits
  • Compensations & Prevention of OMDs or Early Intervention

Comprehensive Assessment: know what you're looking at.

You'll use the F.A.S.T. Myo Screening Tool, walk through case history and intake, and take apart the examination form. Then you'll watch complete in-person and virtual assessments with kids and adults, so you've seen a full evaluation before you ever run your own. By the end, your findings will point you toward a plan, and you won't be left guessing at your next question.

See every lesson
  • Collecting Preliminary Data: The F.A.S.T. Myo Screening Tool
  • Case History, Intake Forms and Deconstructing The Orofacial Myofunctional Examination Form
  • Complete Assessments: Observe Complete In-person & Virtual Pediatric & Adult Assessments
  • Clarifying Findings To Determine Individualized Treatment Planning

Complete Treatment: build the plan for this patient.

You'll write goals with the MyoMouth Library, individualize care with the MyoMouth Manual and its muscle-informed exercises, and plan for home carryover, dismissal, and maintenance. We also cover TMJ/D, OSA, cognitive versus chronological age, and how to work with the team around a tongue tie release. By the end, you'll know who to treat, who to refer, and how to explain why.

Marie A. Cannon

I am an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist! Through The Myo Method®, I was able to learn step by step how to add this skill set so I can launch my private practice and offer a service that is hard to find on my corner of the world. At this point my practice will provide teletherapy only, and I was able to learn how to conduct evaluations in this manner.

Her willingness to not just teach, but to model and demonstrate how to complete a myofunctional evaluation across different ages will leave clinicians feeling confident in their ability to serve their patients!

What myo eyes can change for one patient

A war veteran came to a myo-trained SLP in our community for memory and word-finding problems, with migraines 5 to 7 times a month, and he mentioned his lisp as a side note. She ran a myo assessment and found a tongue tie, poor sleep, clenching, and a small palate, and within a week of starting therapy he reported fewer migraines, a reduced lisp, and improvements in his memory. Here's how she put it:

"Prior to my myo training, I would have missed the root cause."

"Who am I to bring this up with a family?"

That's the question underneath all the others, and for most of us it isn't about intelligence. It's about identity, because you've been the person who writes the referral, and now you're picturing yourself being the first one to say something to a parent or a colleague. Confidence comes from competence, so we don't ask you to feel ready first. You'll watch it done, you'll have the forms and the decision tree open beside you, and you'll have a clear way to explain what you're seeing and who else belongs on the team. You don't need all the answers on day one, because you'll know the next right question to ask, and that's where this work starts.

Everything you need to take your first myo case

If the only thing you got were those five assessments, and watching them meant you kept one patient you would've referred out, you'd probably feel pretty good about that, right?

1Lifetime access · $3,200 valueAfraid you'll forget it all by the time the case shows up?

You also get a Terminology, Acronym & Appliance Resource, which saves you from going down the Google rabbit hole.

4Forms, templates, and goal bankDon't have time to build your paperwork from scratch?

You get pediatric and adult intake forms, assessment and referral forms, fill-in-the-blank report templates, and a goal bank, starting with the same forms I created for my own business.

5Marketing resources and directoryWorried nobody will know you do this now?

You get marketing resources and a profile on the searchable The Myo Method® Directory, so patients and colleagues can find you.

You'll also complete the required trainings and recorded study club presentations in the CMT® portal, then present a patient case live on Zoom to the CMT® certification review board, all within 165 days of your start.

Questions you might be sitting with

Questions Answered. Let's Start

To the clinician who's still reading

I know how intimidating it feels to step into this. Think about the kids in the middle of critical growth periods who are already struggling to function, and the adults in chronic pain who've been to a handful of specialists with no answers. Right now there aren't enough myofunctional therapists for them, and more doctors and clinicians are starting to look for someone skilled to refer to.

We were all trained to look at these patients in pieces, and we know better now. If part of you keeps coming back to this work, trust that, because the next time something's off, you can be the one who knows what to do.
