In this podcourse, I am joined by Kayla Fontenot, a Speech-Language Pathologist and IAOM Certified Orofacial Myologist®. She helps clients across the lifespan, from infants to adults, to speak, eat, and live with optimal oral function. Her approach to therapy is integrative. She examines the way that the muscles work during speaking and eating to identify problems such as muscle imbalance, lack of strength, compensation, tethered oral tissues, and motor planning. She works with a network of providers to ensure that clients are able to achieve all of their goals both in, and out of speech therapy.
Kayla has worked in hospitals, rehab centers, and school districts across the state of Texas. She has been in private practice since 2011. Kayla is licensed in the state of Texas and hold the Certificate of Clinical Competency from the American Speech Language and Hearing Association (ASHA).
She founded Flower Mound Speech & Therapy Center in 2015 because she saw a need to provide in-depth, personalized services for her clients. Her team believes in going beyond the one-on-one therapy session to provide their clients continuing education and excellent client care.
