Talar Galian-Hernandez

CCC-SLP, QOM Track

Speech-Language Pathologist

Background

We value the “the whole” in everything we do at MTW. We specialize in providing interventions and evaluations that are designed for each unique individual, incorporating strengths and preferences with evidence based practice. We believe that one size does not fit all.​ We are true diagnosticians. Collaboration is key for our practice and we feel that it takes a village to treat orofacial myofunctional disorders and find the root cause using a holistic approach.

We use a unique, holistic, and neurodiversity-affirming approach based on evidence based practice, individual strengths, interests, learning style, and cultural experiences.
