About me
Antoaneta Costache
Speech-language therapist / psychopedagogue and specialist in myofunctional therapy.
I believe in personalized programs (delivered through intensive therapy periods of approximately three months, followed by re‑evaluation and goal adjustment), close collaboration with families, and step‑by‑step progress in a friendly, safe environment.
In my practice, every child receives the attention, patience, and support they need, whether they have mild disorders or more complex challenges.

Parents' questions
An assessment is recommended when the child shows delays in language development, produces sounds inaccurately, is difficult to understand, or has trouble communicating with others.
The assessment includes case history, standardized tests, and direct observation of the child's language and communication. The goal is to establish a speech-language diagnosis and a personalized intervention plan.
Speech-language therapy consists of interactive sessions in which the child learns to correct pronunciation, expand vocabulary, and improve fluency and expressiveness. Exercises are adapted to the child's age and level.
Myofunctional therapy aims to retrain oro‑facial functions involved in breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speech. Work is done through specific exercises, sometimes supported by modern devices such as Froggy Mouth, Myo Munchee, or Myospot.
Duration varies depending on the child's difficulties and level of engagement. In speech‑language therapy, progress is gradual, sometimes in small but steady steps. In myofunctional therapy, length depends on the severity of dysfunctions and the response to exercises.
