Chatham Speech and Myo

As a speech-language pathologist specializing in pediatric communication disorders, I often collaborate with top-tier professionals to optimize therapy outcomes for my clients. When it comes to orofacial myology, Karen stands out as an exceptional partner in care—her expertise as a Certified Orofacial Myologist and Qualified Orofacial Myologist ensures targeted, effective interventions that drive significant progress. Karen employs techniques and strategies which are at the forefront of our field to provide thorough insights, identifying subtle muscular imbalances. Her training shines through in the evidence-based strategies she shares, blending tailored exercises to retrain tongue and lip movements, which directly support clearer speech production and reduce compensatory habits. Karen's approach is communicative, child-centered, and rooted in the latest research, making her an invaluable clinician. As both an SLP and a mother, I seek out professionals dedicated to the most current and effective treatment approaches—Karen exemplifies this! She offers exceptional care by staying informed on cutting-edge advancements and by enlightening the SLP community. Simply thankful!

Karen Masters is a seasoned myofunctional therapist and is excellent at what she does. After interviewing four other therapists, I decided to start therapy with Karen to address some issues with chewing/jaw strength. In 6 sessions we were able to make significant improvements. Karen also liaised with other members of my care team (dentist, orthodontist) for a comprehensive approach. Highly recommend!
