How can you proactively strengthen your child’s ability to eat and drink by mouth? What are the differences in traditional modalities of speech and communication therapy versus oral function, myofunctional, and feeding therapies? How can these modalities work for children with Sanfilippo Syndrome? When is the right time to begin and who do you ask?
Find out during the January 2026 Sanfilippo Speak. Guest Speakers Megan Seiberg and Katie Nelson take a deep dive into speech therapy, discussing different modalities of oral function therapy. These include myofunctional, oral motor, and feeding. Join us live to learn more about these modalities and how they can have short- and long-term effects on eating and drinking by mouth, maintaining verbal communication and vocalizations, relieve muscle tension, and prolong oral motor skills.
