Remedy Speech Therapy

10/13/2026

This Fall, Remedy Speech and Occupational Therapy will be stepping out of our pediatric practice to join the 45th Annual StepALIVE! Walkathon! We are walking to support ALIVE!’s mission to prevent food insecurity and housing instability in our Alexandria community.

At our practice, the children we work with are more than patients...they’re known, celebrated, and cared for as individuals. We have the privilege of getting to know these individuals, their families, and in turn the amazing outcomes that occur when we work together.

Now we have the opportunity to show what it really means to be neighbors helping neighbors and support Alexandrians across the city. We need your help in raising $145,000 to ensure ALIVE’s critical work can continue.

Every month, ALIVE! helps more than 20,000 neighbors by providing groceries, rent and utility assistance, emergency financial aid, and donated furniture and housewares. Your donation makes a direct impact, and it stays right here in our community.

Every dollar has an impact, and every step counts.

Donate today using the link on this page. Thank you!

Myofunctional Therapy

Why do these muscle patterns matter?
The muscles of the face and mouth affect:
1. Breathing: Healthy breathing happens through the nose, not the mouth. Therapy helps establish nasal breathing, which supports better sleep, focus, energy, and overall health.
2. Oral Development: Proper tongue posture helps shape the palate and support healthy facial growth. Incorrect habits may contribute to crowded teeth or jaw alignment issues.
3. Eating & Swallowing: Kids may swallow incorrectly, chew inefficiently, or fatigue easily. Therapy teaches safer, more efficient patterns.
4. Speech: A low or forward-resting tongue can affect sounds like s, z, sh, ch, j, r, l, and th. Improving oral resting posture can make speech therapy more effective.

How do I know if my child needs it?
Here are some common signs to look for:
Mouth open at rest
Tongue visible between teeth
Drooling beyond toddler age
Snoring or sleeping with mouth open
Chronic congestion
Speech errors that haven’t improved with traditional therapy
History of tongue or lip tie

If you notice several of these, a myofunctional evaluation can help determine the best next steps.

Why Is AAC Important?
Gives a voice now: Helps children express wants, needs, and ideas immediately.
Reduces frustration: Provides a reliable way to communicate.
Supports speech development: Research shows AAC does not delay speech and often increases it.
Builds language skills: Strengthens vocabulary
Supports learning: Helps children participate fully at home, at school, and the community.

What We Do In Therapy
Teach functional core words (go, want, stop, help)
Model AAC during natural activities
Expand vocabulary gradually
Adjust the system as your child grows
Provide simple strategies for home carryover

How To Help At Home
Model often: Touch the AAC words while you talk. “Let’s go.” “You want more.” “I see dog.”
Use AAC in routines: meals, play, bath time, outings, bedtime.
Follow your child’s lead: Let them explore the device and choose words.
Celebrate all communication: Sounds, gestures, pictures, and device use all count.

FAQs!
Have a question not listed here? Give us a call or send an email!

1. Do you take my insurance?
We are an IN NETWORK provider with Aetna, Anthem PPO, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Maryland Medicaid. We are certified with Tricare/Humana. We provide superbills for you to submit for reimbursement if we do not take your insurance.

2. What services do you offer?
Excellent question. We offer speech therapy, occupational therapy, myofunctional therapy, sensory-based feeding therapy, K-12 tutoring, parent resource sessions, and more!

3. How long will my child be in therapy?
Every child is different! The length of time your child spends in therapy depends on what they are working on, the severity of the disorder, frequency of home practice, and any relevant medical diagnoses (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, etc.). Talk to your therapist about the progress your child is making in therapy and what steps to take at home to encourage faster progress.

4. Why does my child need private speech therapy if they get therapy in school or through early intervention?
Private speech therapy is different from the therapy your child may receive at school or with the county. Private therapy provides your child with one on one attention and individualized sessions, often at a higher frequency.
