"My passion is child speech and language disorders, and I have a specific interest in Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders. For that reason, one year after graduating from Emerson's Communications Disorders program, I envision myself working in a school for special needs children. Here, I could provide a range of treatments to support these patients, including teaching them to be mindful of their tongue and mouth muscles when they speak, drink, and eat. Or teaching them to say sounds more clearly. I can work with patients to change how they chew and swallow and even introduce and practice different breathing patterns."
