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.

I can not say enough good things about Miss Susie! We came to Big Apple for help in getting my daughter help with finger sucking as it was ruining her palate and teeth. We had some concerns that my daughter heavily depended on the fingers to self soothe some anxiety. Susie took time from her schedule to meet and develop a plan with my daughters therapist to ensure the best course of action in getting her to stop the finger sucking, all while making sure we followed a good plan approved by her behavioral therapist to support her anxiety.

In just a few days, our daughter who sucked her fingers constantly and to sleep completely stopped! Susie even checked on her every morning to see how the night went. One year later her dentist was shocked to see the amazing improvement in her teeth and palate. Not to mention, the improvement to her speech and pronunciation that we all have noticed.

Susie went above and beyond, even coming all the way to our home to deliver a gift of congratulations to our daughter.

We will forever recommend Big Apple Speech to anyone who needs the services! Thank you Miss Susie!
