Welcome to Honor Franklin Myofunctional & Speech Clinic website<\/a> – and my first blog!<\/h2>\n

\"Dr<\/p>\n

I have wanted to create a website for a long time for two reasons. For one, I wanted to look like I am part of the 21st Century but, mainly, so I can update and share the most current and accurate information regarding Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders<\/a> OMD’s<\/a> or “tongue thrust<\/a>“. If you have toured my website, you will see that, since 1977, I have specialized<\/span><\/strong> in the evaluation and treatment of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) and articulation (speech) disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. In that time, I have provided help for a range of issues, including elimination of noxious oral habits such as thumbsucking and finger sucking,<\/a> diagnosis and treatment of an incorrect resting tongue and lip posture and incorrect swallowing pattern (referred to in the past as “tongue thrust<\/a>” or “tongue thrust swallowing<\/a>“) and articulation (speech) disorders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I hold the distinction of being a Certified Orofacial Myologist\/ Myofunctional Therapist by the International Association of Orofacial Myology<\/a> (IAOM), an honor held by a small percentage of professionals practicing orofacial myofunctional therapy. In fact, I am the ONLY <\/strong><\/span>Certified Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist in Dallas and am one of three in the state of Texas.<\/p>\n

In addition, I am also a Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist by the State of Texas and specialize in treating articulation (speech) disorders in children, adolescents and adults.<\/p>\n

When I started my private practice in 1977, the word “blog” did not even exist, and I didn’t exactly embrace blog reading (or writing) until it became an integral part of our online world. I am just so happy to have the opportunity to share information via this blog in the upcoming months and hope you will contact me with any questions or comments at honorfranklin@att.net. <\/a><\/p>\n

It is an honor to do this work and my patients and the orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, pediatric dentists, physicians and speech-language pathologists who refer to me are the best part of it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
