Myofunctional Assessment Sheet

This sheet monitors essential aspects for the balance and functionality of the orofacial apparatus:

• breathing mode and body posture,
• tongue position and orofacial conformation,
• swallowing pattern,
• identification of harmful oral habits.

Analysis of these parameters allows understanding the causes of difficulties and outlines the direction of the therapeutic plan.

Accurate assessment is the first step toward progress. Let's discover together the appropriate solutions for your child to reach their potential.

The evaluation includes a standardized photography protocol:

• facial photographs (frontal and lateral),
• intraoral images (frontal and lateral),
• tongue position at rest and during swallowing,
• video recordings of the swallowing process.

These materials support progress monitoring and facilitate collaboration with other specialists.

Specific Measurements

Precise measurements of the components of the phonatory-articulatory apparatus are performed, targeting:

• tongue position
• palate shape (e.g., high-arched palate),
• tongue dimensions (macroglossia),
• type of breathing (oral or nasal)
• Mallampati score

Conclusions and Intervention Plan

Following the evaluation, all obtained data are integrated into a comprehensive report that:

• provides a clear and detailed picture of the orofacial apparatus functionality;
• establishes the speech and myofunctional diagnosis;
• forms the basis for a personalized intervention plan tailored to the child's needs.
