With over two decades of experience, Nicole has worked extensively with children of all ages to assess and treat a range of speech and language disorders, including motor speech delays, auditory processing challenges, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and myofunctional dysfunction. After observing transformative changes in her clients through the integration of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT), she pursued advanced training focused on the relationship between oral function, craniofacial development, and airway health.
Nicole’s clinical expertise includes detailed evaluation and intervention for tongue posture, nasal breathing, oral resting patterns, tongue-jaw dissociation, and swallowing mechanics. She has completed intensive coursework in sleep-disordered breathing, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), and orofacial structure and function. Her work is rooted in neuromuscular re-education and a systems-based approach—believing that many root causes of speech, feeding, and breathing challenges are revealed through a deep understanding of orofacial form and function.
Nicole Cavalea, M.S., CCC-SLP, OMT, is a Breath Institute Ambassador and has completed training in TMD management with OMT considerations. She is highly collaborative in her approach, working closely with airway-focused orthodontists, pediatric dentists, ENTs, and pediatricians to build integrative, patient-centered care plans. She is known for identifying the “missing piece” in traditional therapy models—addressing foundational dysfunctions that often go overlooked.
In addition to clinical care, Nicole is passionate about mentorship and professional development, creating a supportive practice environment where therapists, students, and interdisciplinary providers can grow, innovate, and deliver the highest quality care.
“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. Each 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.”
