The Art of Treating the Whole Child.

Our Collaborator, Kayla Fontenot

Background

Kayla Fontenot is a Speech-Language Pathologist and IAOM Certified Orofacial Myologist®. She helps clients of all ages to speak, eat, and live with optimal oral function. Her approach to therapy is integrative. She examines the way that the muscles work during speaking and eating to identify problems such as muscle imbalance, lack of strength, compensation, tethered oral tissues, and motor planning. Kayla works with a network of providers, including Dr. Carla and Dr. Loria to ensure that clients are able to achieve all of their goals both in and out of speech therapy.

 

Kayla has worked in hospitals, rehab centers, and school districts across the state of Texas. She has been in private practice, her favorite setting, since 2012. She is licensed in the state of Texas and hold the Certificate of Clinical Competency from the American Speech Language and Hearing Association (ASHA).

Kayla at Beyond Pediatric Dentistry

Kayla founded Flower Mound Speech Therapy in 2015 because she saw a need to provide in-depth, personalized services for her clients. Kayla wanted to work on a team that believed in going beyond the one-on-one therapy session to provide for their clients with a focus on continuing education and client care. She works closely with her team of therapists that specialize in feeding therapy, myofunctional therapy, articulation, Autism, stroke rehabilitation, and early language play skills to ensure the needs of each family are met. Flower Mound Speech Therapy offers in-office consultations at Beyond Pediatric Dentistry every Wednesday.
