Referral Partners for the Best Quality Care
At Beech Street Speech & Language, we believe the best outcomes for our clients happen when professionals work together.
Communication is connected to so many areas of health and development, which is why we collaborate closely with providers across disciplines. By partnering with experts, like occupational therapists, ENTs, and orthodontic professionals, who view our clients through different lenses, we ensure care is not only effective but truly comprehensive.
Types of Professionals Beech Street Speech Collaborates with most often
We have hired some of the best OMT therapists in Portland, specializing in everything from feeding & thumb sucking cessation, to full Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT).
Occupational Therapists (OTs)
Collaborating with occupational therapists is essential to the care we provide. They support regulation, which is foundational for learning and communication success. OTs also bring a unique perspective to our shared clients, ensuring both sensory and motor needs are addressed as part of holistic care.
Orthodontics Professionals
Dentition and palate height play a major role in our approach to speech sound production and supporting correct oral resting posture. We partner with orthodontists to address tongue posture and oral habits, which are essential for the effectiveness and long-term success of oral appliances like braces.
Ear, Nose, & Throat Specialists (ENTs)
ENTs guide care for clients with differences in oral structures—such as tongue ties, enlarged tonsils, voicing concerns, or deviated septums. Because orofacial myofunctional therapy is one of our specialties, we often coordinate care with ENTs to ensure clients receive the most complete support possible.
Early Intervention Specialists
Starting services early can significantly reduce the overall need for treatment and help prevent persistent error patterns. We work closely with county providers to ensure young children get timely and coordinated support that sets them up for lifelong success.
