Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year from all of us at Chatham Speech and Myo.

As myofunctional therapists, we know that tongues, lips, and breathing patterns don’t exist in isolation — they live in a body. Posture, ribcage position, diaphragm mechanics, and head-neck alignment all influence airway size, muscle behavior, and function, and research continues to show how powerful these relationships can be.

We’re excited to help spread the word about this free live learning opportunity hosted by The MyoSphere. In this 1-hour Zoom session, two Postural Restoration–trained physical therapists will explore how whole-body posture impacts glossus function, airway patency, and breathing; clarify common cervical patterns like forward head posture and “military neck”; and introduce the diaphragm’s zone of apposition (ZOA) as a key link between posture and myofunctional care.

This is a great opportunity to zoom out, add a postural lens to your clinical thinking, and consider when whole-body alignment might be the missing piece in stuck or complex cases.

🗓 January 8 ⏰ 7–8pm EST 📍 Live online (no recording)

To be notified of the event details and receive the Zoom link, you’ll need to subscribe to The MyoSphere website and be a member of the MyoSphere Facebook group. Both links are available through our bio.

If you’re a myofunctional therapist looking to deepen your understanding of airway, posture, and breathing, this is absolutely worth tuning into — and sharing with colleagues who might benefit.

Feel free to tag and pass this along to your Myo friends who’d enjoy this conversation.

They’re honestly the easiest team to work with 😅
 They’re supportive, collaborative, and always willing to jump in when needed…
 and occasionally pretend they didn’t hear me say “this will be quick.”

Because in 2025, every business comes with a side of social media… who can relate?

As myofunctional therapists, we change lives by training tongues, lips, and breathing patterns—but the orofacial system doesn’t work in isolation. Cranio-cervical posture, ribcage position, and diaphragm mechanics all shape airway size and function, and research shows that head and neck alignment can significantly alter pharyngeal dimensions and upper-airway muscle behavior.

In this 1-hour session, two Postural Restoration–trained physical therapists will explore how whole-body posture influences glossus function, airway patency, and breathing; clarify the difference between forward head posture, “military neck,” and a healthy cervical lordosis; and introduce the concept of the diaphragm’s zone of apposition (ZOA) as a missing link between postural and myofunctional care. We’ll connect this evidence to your day-to-day work, discuss when a “postural lens” might unlock stuck cases, and leave time for questions/discussion.

Date: Jan 8th
Time: 7-8pm EST
Format: Live online (no recording will be made available)

Continuing education, thoughtful conversation, and time to reflect together 💙
 We love creating space to learn, share ideas, and grow — because staying curious and connected helps us show up even better for our clients.

It’s the behind-the-scenes moments that support the work we do every day.

When speech practice meets personal interests, motivation skyrockets ✨

This guy has been working hard on his /r/and /l/ sounds — and since he lovesHarry Potter, Heather turned it into a character challenge. He created a full list of Harry Potter characters that include his target sounds, and he was so proud of how many he knew.

Meaningful, interest-based practice like this keeps kids engaged, confident, and excited to keep working.

Great work by our therapist .biggiani and an awesome example of how creativity supports progress 👏

If your dog is getting all your child’s fruits, veggies, and most of the meal, Gus sends his gratitude on behalf of dogs everywhere. 🐶🥦
 But when this becomes the norm (and only a few preferred foods ever get eaten), it’s often a sign that a deeper feeding challenge is developing.

Children may avoid foods because of texture, temperature, smell, anxiety, or oral motor challenges that slowly make mealtimes stressful instead of successful.

Reach out and ask to speak with Sandy, our behavioral feeding expert.
 We can help uncover what’s driving the struggle and support your child in building healthier, happier mealtime habits.

Sometimes the best part of a session is what happens between the work.
While I was writing up her homework, this creative kiddo quietly drew all of her myofunctional and articulation exercises on the Magna Doodle — completely on her own.

Moments like this remind us how capable, imaginative, and motivated children can be when therapy feels fun and empowering. ✨
We love seeing our clients’ personalities shine.

Play isn’t “just play”—it’s one of the most powerful ways children learn. The right toys and games help children build the skills they need for communication, social connection, school readiness, and emotional growth.

Here’s why play matters so much ⬇️
✨ Language Development • Builds vocabulary as children describe pieces, actions, and choices • Encourages conversation—taking turns and talking through the game naturally creates opportunities for children to practice expressing themselves
 • Strengthens comprehension as children follow directions and answer questions

✨ Social Skills • Teaches turn-taking, patience, and how to navigate winning & losing • Promotes cooperation through shared goals and teamwork • Supports perspective-taking as children understand how others think and feel

✨ Cognitive Growth • Boosts problem-solving through planning and predicting • Strengthens memory and attention during gameplay • Supports executive functioning like flexible thinking, organization, and self-control

✨ Emotional Development • Builds confidence as children master new skills • Encourages resilience as they work through challenges or setbacks

Toys and games may look simple, but they support big developmental skills—naturally through play.

If you’re looking for ideas that build language, communication, and confidence, Karen and Chris share some of their favorites in today’s reel. 🧸🎲

✨Building Stronger Oral Habits—One Multisensory Moment at a Time✨

At Chatham Speech and Myo, we love using hands-on activities to help kids truly feel how their tongue works. In this activity, we created a “tongue bowl” out of Play-Doh to explore which parts of the tongue lift, how it shapes, and where it rests inside the mouth.

By adding a small “weight” to the tongue bowl, children get instant feedback on stability, strength, and proper tongue positioning—all essential pieces for healthy swallowing, speech clarity, and restful nasal breathing.

Multisensory learning = better awareness, better engagement, and better long-term habits. 💡👅

A great few days at the 2025 ASHA Convention in Washington, DC! ✨
 Karen and Jenn spent their time learning, connecting, and bringing back new ideas to support the families we work with every day.

From inspiring sessions… to reconnecting with Karen’s former professor and classmates… to exploring new tools and approaches—
 This trip reminded us how much we value growth, collaboration, and staying current in the field.

We’re heading home energized and inspired. 💙

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Chatham?

Welcome!

Welcome to Chatham Speech and Language Associates. CSL is a pediatric speech therapy practice located on Shunpike Rd in Chatham, New Jersey. We have been serving Chatham and the neighboring communities for over 25 years. CSL was founded by Laura Goepfert, who began seeing patients in her home but quickly outgrew that space and moved to Main Street. She retired several years ago leaving behind a well established practice that continues to adhere to her philosophy.

At Chatham Speech and Language we believe that every child has needs that are unique. We evaluate and treat your children with the utmost integrity, honesty, and sensitivity in an environment that understands the importance of a child-centric approach. We will work closely with your family so you can understand and support our intervention.

My staff and I strive constantly to improve your child's language and communication skills and understand the cumulative impact good communication has on your child's life and how he experiences the world.
