WHAT WE OFFER

The SmartPalate visually displays tongue-to-palate contact in real-time allowing users to effectively find and consistently practice targeted speech sounds.

The “ASHA Leader” ranked the Smart Palate as the 4th most innovative technology likely to revolutionize treatment of articulation disorders. Manorville Speech is excited to bring this technology to Long Island.

WHY SmartPalate?

Engaged, self-monitored practice during sessions and at home
Consistent repetitions for effective muscle memory development
Measurable progress on sounds from isolation to conversation
Differences between sound productions are clear
SmartPalate is a CompleteSpeech™ patented system

Manorville Speech Pathology is currently using the Smart Palate/Complete Speech system as a tool in some types of articulation therapy. Contact us to see if you or your child may be a candidate for this system.

Speech Buddies Tools can help anyone over four years old that has problems with one or more of the R, S, L, SH, or CH sounds. These tools are another method to help children speak clearly and gain confidence.

Speechbuddies tools have helped children and adults with a variety of speech and articulation disorders of all severities, including:
– Standard articulation challenges and disorders (lisps and mispronunciation)
– Hearing impairment (with or without cochlear implants)
– Autism spectrum disorder
– Craniofacial abnormalities (cleft palate)
– Childhood apraxia of speech

Speech Buddies Tools are  being evaluated for speech and articulation disorders associated with neuromuscular weakness, cerebral palsy, paralysis, and Down syndrome.

Feeding Delays and Disorders are increasingly more prevalent in the pediatric population. They can be as mild as food selectivity and refusal to inability to accept foods by mouth.  Feeding therapy and counseling is a vital part of the child’s treatment plan in order to help the child remain or become an oral feeder.  Motor planning, speech development, and feeding skills are intertwined and all addressed during feeding therapy.  Cheryl makes every effort to stay current on all areas of feeding development within a medical and developmental model.

Feeding Matters is a National Organization dedicated to children suffering with a Pediatric Feeding Disorder. It’s focus is on the education of parents, medical professionals, and the community at large to increase early identification and treatment of these disorders.  The creation of this Task Force has a goal to help increase awareness of the effects that these disorders have on speech, language, and overall development. Cheryl is excited to collaborate and serve as a Task Force Leader with Feeding Matters in Phoenix, Arizona to improve the lives of these children and their families.

PROMPT is an acronym for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets. The technique is a tactile-kinesthetic approach that uses touch cues to a patient’s articulators (jaw, tongue, lips) to manually guide them through a targeted word, phrase or sentence. The technique develops motor control and the development of proper oral muscular movements, while eliminating unnecessary muscle movements, such as jaw sliding and inadequate lip rounding.

Therapists begin by helping patients produce certain phonemes. A phoneme is the smallest increment of sound in speech. For example, the “d” sound in the word dog is one phoneme, the “o” is another and the “g” is yet another. Each phoneme requires different muscle contractions/retractions and placement/movement of the jaw, lips, tongue, neck and chest to produce. All of these things have to happen with the proper timing and sequence to produce one phoneme correctly. The therapist attempts to “teach” the patient’s muscles to produce a phoneme correctly by stimulating all of these through touch. With the timing and movement of more than 100 muscles involved, you can see why the training is so intense.

Cheryl has provided PROMPT THERAPY since 2003 and has attended trainings in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, numerous study groups, Refresher Course, and online PROMPT courses.
