  • How much does it cost?

    The cost of services varies depending on the type of appointment and the length of the session. Therapy sessions start at $115, while evaluations are priced separately based on the comprehensive assessment being completed. We believe therapy is a valuable investment in long-term communication and oral function, and we strive to offer options that make care more accessible. Many families use Step Up For Students scholarships, HSA/FSA funds, or other available resources to help offset the cost of services. Please contact us for current evaluation fees or to discuss which services are right for you.

  • How long does therapy take?

    Every individual is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all timeline. The length of therapy depends on a variety of factors, including the diagnosis, severity of the disorder, underlying contributing factors, age, consistency with home practice, attendance, motivation, and how quickly new skills carry over into everyday life. During your evaluation, we'll discuss your specific needs and goals and provide a personalized treatment plan. Throughout therapy, progress is continually monitored, and recommendations are adjusted to ensure you or your child receives the appropriate level of care.

  • What ages are appropriate for myofunctional therapy?

    Myofunctional therapy is usually appropriate for individuals aged 5 and older, including adults.  It's never to late to make a change. To effectively engage in therapy, individuals should be capable of following instructions, possessing body awareness, and demonstrating the maturity necessary to complete therapy tasks.

  • Commonly Asked Questions about EPG?

    Electropalatography (EPG) is comfortable for most individuals and is often described as feeling similar to wearing a retainer. While it may take a few sessions to adjust, most patients adapt quickly. The custom palate is only worn during therapy sessions and assigned home practice, not throughout the day. EPG can be beneficial for both children and adults with persistent speech sound disorders, particularly those who have made limited progress with traditional speech therapy. The length of treatment varies depending on the individual's speech goals, diagnosis, consistency of home practice, and response to therapy. Throughout the process, the goal is not to rely on the palate long-term, but to use the visual feedback it provides to retrain accurate tongue movements so they become natural and automatic in everyday speech.

Alexa Stubenrauch, M.S. CCC-SLP, QOM

Speech Language Pathologist

Alexa Stubenrauch, M.S., CCC-SLP, QOM is a Florida-licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder of FAME Speech and Myo. She earned both her Bachelor of Science in Speech Pathology and Audiology, with a minor in Art, and her Master of Science in Communication Disorders from Clarion University of Pennsylvania. Alexa holds the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and is a Qualified Orofacial Myologist (QOM).


Alexa specializes in the evaluation and treatment of persistent speech sound disorders, articulation and phonological disorders, residual speech errors, and orofacial myofunctional disorders in both children and adults. She is passionate about identifying the why behind communication and oral function challenges rather than simply treating symptoms. Her comprehensive evaluations examine speech production alongside breathing, oral rest posture, swallowing, chewing, jaw stability, tongue function, and other contributing factors to develop individualized, functionally focused treatment plans.


She has completed extensive advanced training in orofacial myology and tethered oral tissues, including STONES Orofacial Myology Advanced, The Myo Method, Neo-Health Services' 28-hour Orofacial Myology program, TOTS (Tethered Oral Tissues), Feed the Peds®, and the Lindamood-Bell® Seeing Stars® program. Alexa is also trained in Electropalatography (EPG), an advanced biofeedback technology used to treat persistent speech sound disorders by providing real-time visual feedback of tongue-to-palate contact during speech.

Alexa believes in a collaborative approach to care and regularly partners with dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, oral surgeons, physicians, and other healthcare professionals to ensure her patients receive comprehensive, evidence-based treatment. Her mission is to empower patients and families through education while helping each individual achieve their fullest communication and oral function potential.


When she's not in the clinic, Alexa enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, staying active, traveling, and continuing her education to provide the highest quality care for her patients.
