Hi, I'm Tammy , founder of Long Island Speech & Myo.
I am a native New Yorker, who currently lives on Long Island.
I'm a New York State licensed and certified Speech Language Pathologist.
After working with the pediatric population for several years, it became evident that children with the most severe speech, language, and cognitive difficulties also presented with underdeveloped facial structures , poor eating habits, behavioral and sleep difficulties and reduced attentiveness and energy. These difficulties can be often traced back to a child's sleep quality, feeding history and oral motor experiences. These challenges then lead to pain that adults unknowingly experience later in life, such has jaw pain, migraines , and often facial pain.
I quickly discovered my interest and passion for addressing the root causes , and that is how Long Island Speech & Myo was born.
Today, I work with children and adults of all ages as one of the members of the multi-disciplinary team (dentists, orthodontists, osteopaths) , that will successfully treat OMD.
When I am not working, I love to learn about and cook different cuisines and carry over much of what I practice professionally: living a holistic life style with my husband and two daughters.
