Is your child still using a pacifier or sucking their thumb? It’s common — and there’s a path forward. In our latest blog, Amanda explains why eliminating oral habits is often the first step toward lasting speech and oral function progress.

If your child sucks their thumb, uses a pacifier beyond toddler years, or has a long-standing oral habit, you may be wondering: • “Will they just outgrow it?” • “Is it really affecting their speech?” • “Should we wait?”These are incredibly common questions — and you are not alone...

We’ve had many families reach out seeking myofunctional therapy — especially as they prepare for or recover from a frenectomy.

One thing we believe in at Salt & Light is transparency.

Myofunctional therapy is often considered private pay. (I created an Instagram Reel with more details.)
But instead of letting that be a barrier, we created structured package options designed to:

• Support proper oral rest posture
• Improve nasal breathing
• Address swallowing patterns
• Strengthen tongue mobility and coordination
• Provide a clear progression (not random exercises)

We also offer in-office payment plans and financing through Affirm to make care more accessible for families who are ready to invest in long-term functional change.

This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s a guided, evidence-based process.

And we’re honored to walk it with you.

At Salt & Light, we believe quality speech therapy should be accessible across the lifespan – and we’re thrilled to share that we are in the process of becoming credentialed with Medicare.

This step allows us to better serve adults within our community. Our heart has always been to provide compassionate, evidence based care that supports real life function, independence, and quality of life – and this expansion helps us do just that. 🌟

📍Please note: Medicare credentialing is in progress, but we wanted our community to know that help is coming. This can typically take up to 3 months. 😬

💚If you or a loved one could benefit from adult speech therapy services, we’d love to connect and answer any questions along the way.
