Allison Schmidt's Bio:
I am a speech-language pathologist (SLP) in Eagle, ID, specializing in myofunctional therapy for children and adults. My work focuses on identifying and treating orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) that contribute to issues such as mouth breathing, tongue ties, snoring, sleep-disordered breathing, swallowing difficulties, jaw pain, headaches, and persistent speech errors. These challenges can impact sleep, health, and overall well-being.

At Modern Speech and Myofunctional Therapy, I take a holistic, collaborative approach—working alongside functional medicine providers, dentists, ENTs, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive care. By addressing the root causes of OMDs rather than just the symptoms, my goal is to help clients achieve long-term improvements in breathing, speech, and whole body health.
