Social Communication & Myo Groups
There are various high-quality social communication groups that are led by Luna, an experienced and skilled speech-language pathologist who has created social groups for 20 years.
Small, personalized groups meet in a natural, relaxed setting, such a backyard or community park. There are often siblings and peers who participate to support the group, as well as youth assistants. There are various groups for clients receiving myofunctional therapy and even “Open Myo Gyms” to drop in and practice with different peers.
Groups vary by needs, such as:
The Girls Group
The Ninja Boys
Tweens Tuning In
Recess Boot Camp
Little Spittles & Motor Mouth Myo Groups
Breathing for Athletes (M.S. & H.S students)
SP.OT ON Social Groups, Summer Camps, and Open Play Groups
SP.OT ON stands for speech, occupational therapy, and oral-motor needs. These social skills groups and summer camps are co-led with my colleague Tami Pallott, OTR/L of MotivatingMindsOT.
Tami offer extensive knowledge in sensory integration, posture and motor movements, and feeding skills, to provide a well-rounded, supportive environment where every children of all ages are met at their level and encouraged to grown to their potential.
Together we bring our experienced and compassionate techniques to create unique, effective, and fun social groups for children of all ages. We have created social curriculums that integrates everyday functional skills needed to connect with peers and adults, even at the most basic successful level. (see the video display below.)

Her pacing was excellent and motivated my daughter by helping her feel successful. The support she provided to me as a parent made implementing practice realistic.
Luna is exceptionally experienced, personable and perceptive.
