Hello, I’m Susie Appleman, an ASHA-certified, Arizona State licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, Board Certified Orofacial Myologist, and Teacher of the Speech and Hearing Handicapped. Finally, I am the founder of Big Apple Speech Therapy, LLC. I have over twenty-five years of experience working with infants, children, and adults with varying degrees of communication impairments or orofacial myofunctional disorders (aka “Tongue Thrust”). I am also trained to diagnose and treat (pre- and post-op) Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTS): Tongue or Lip Ties. I have worked in school settings, private practice, and developmental centers. I have presented at several local, regional, and national conferences on identifying the symptoms of tethered oral tissue, how to use Myofunctional Therapy to eliminate speech issues, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Home and School Environmental Organization Programs as well as strategies to manage behavioral issues. My true passion is Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, which involve treating behaviors and patterns created by inappropriate muscle function involving the tongue, lips, jaw, and face. I enjoy collaborating with orthodontists, pediatric dentists, general dentists, TMJ specialists, oral surgeons, pediatricians, and ENTs to ensure my patients have consistency in their dental development and care. I have traveled nationally to take the most up-to-date advanced training in this field, and I implement what I learn to help improve my patients’ lives. I love helping children to stop oral noxious behaviors, like thumbsucking, and adults with sleep-disordered breathing. Finally, my job is to provide cutting-edge delivery of care and services in a compassionate, cost-effective, and multidisciplinary way.

Miss Susie has done wonders for my daughter with the myofunctional therapy to correct tongue thrusting we didn’t even know she had. After a visit with Miss Susie, we saw what impact it would have on her mouth health. Miss Susie not only explained but provided visual examples of the impact and the alternative to no therapy was plain scary. Had my daughter not done these therapies, she would have been back in braces in no time. Not only did the therapy eradicate the tongue thrusting, but it also changed her look. Her upper lip is visibly fuller, but that is only one side benefit of correcting tongue thrusting. My daughter also had severe issues swallowing pills. After her 4 wisdom teeth removal she was chugging liquid Tylenol and Ibuprofen since she could never swallow a pill. Towards the end of her treatment my daughter asked for a pill over a liquid Tylenol. She swallowed the pill without any issues. She even said “well this was easy, wish I could have done this before!”. Miss Susie has a very approachable personality, she is versed in working with any age group. She is very accommodating for crazy schedules and with two office locations it worked very well. There are not many Speech Therapist’s in Arizona certified for oromyofacial disorders, so don’t waste your time trying to find one. Even if you do find one, she is probably the only one still accepting insurance. I appreciate all she has done for my daughter currently and long term. Thank you Miss Susie and Big Apple Speech Therapy!
This is a non sponsored review. I wanted people like me to be able to see a non biased opinion from a parent who reached the end of Internet in her quest to help her child. Miss Susie made it very easy and understandable.
