About this listen
Our guest today is Claire Duque, a Myofunctional Therapist & Occupational Therapist. Before being trained in myofunctional therapy, Claire served the adult population as an occupational therapist. Having a child with airway issues ignited her passion for this space and her desire to help kids and their futures.
Claire believes that sleep and breathing are the cornerstones of health for a child. Claire is particularly passionate about early intervention and the role orofacial dysfunction plays in a child's behavior, sensory system, health, immunity, allergies, and cognitive development. Treatment includes comprehensive assessment and evaluation, muscle training and exercises, and retraining in breathing, nasal breathing, tongue posture, and tongue thrust.
You can read Claire’s full story in her own words in a guest blog she did with CAFF here: Link to Claire's Blog Post.
