I had back to back appointments for my 7 yr old and 3 yr old from a referral from our dentist. Nicole took the time with each child, answered any questions that came up, and also engaged with each child on a more personal level. EShow moreach of my kids were comfortable meeting with her. She also took us into a playspace in her office where she was able to continue conducting her appointment. This space kept my 3 yr old engaged, when it was his turn, he was ready to go and sat down to get assessed. If I had to recommend a SLP, Nicole would be the one that I would recommend.
Nicole Cavalea, MA, CCC-SLP, OMT, is the founder and director of Strategies for Success, a speech pathology group and myofunctional therapy clinic.
Nicole’s mission is to provide a supportive and mentoring environment in her practice, where therapists, extern students, partners, and employees can collaborate to explore their full potential and provide highly specialized, quality, and effective services for the assessment, management, and treatment of speech/language and orofacial/myofunctional disorders in infants, children, and adults.
Nicole has extensive experience working with children of all ages in the assessment, treatment, and management of speech and language disorders associated with autism, ADD, ADHD, auditory processing disorders, motor speech delays, and myofunctional disorders. She has also worked with the language rehabilitation of adults in sub-acute medical settings.
After integrating myofunctional techniques into her practice, she saw improved client outcomes. This motivated her to expand her training in myofunctional disorders and their treatment. She participated in intensive training courses to deepen her expertise in orofacial form and function concerning sleep-disordered breathing, TMJD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), speech, and swallowing in children and adults.
Since then, Nicole has achieved significant success with myofunctional therapy for her clients and believes she has discovered the “missing piece” in her practice. She values and enjoys collaborating with airway-focused pediatric dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, and pediatricians.

Nicole did an amazing job explaining what we’re trying achieve and how to get there with my daughters speech patterns. She’s extremely knowledgeable and so helpful in leading us through this process.
I’ve been evaluated by surgeons, been offered a spinal fusion, have regular trigger point injections and physical therapy. I’ve been given some practical exercises and stretches that have all been just a way of managing my pain. My appt yesterday with Nicole was the first time anyone actually understood and saw how I was functioning in my breathing and swallowing that has been a major contribution to the pain, and now I’m learning how to do those daily constant motions differently! I have so much hope now and can’t wait to report back with the success story in the near future!
Phenomenal, personal experience. Very grateful.
With a passion for children and a knack for making learning fun, Tatum has made speech therapy something my 5 year old looks forward to every week. His articulation has improved so much, and we are so thankful!
Professional, friendly, clear and expert communication, takes her time explaining details and answering questions.
Wonderful practice, Nicole and her team are so knowledgeable and caring, my son is doing tremendous progress
