About Us

Meet Rebeca Ricard, M.S., CCC-SLP
Founder of Root Speech & Myo

I’m a bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist and certified Orofacial Myologist based in Miami, FL. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children across schools, clinics, and private practice settings—and I founded Root Speech & Myo to bring families a more holistic, airway-focused approach to communication and development.

My passion is helping children breathe, speak, and thrive by addressing not just speech and language, but also oral function, feeding, and airway health. I believe therapy should feel gentle, engaging, and play-based—where every child feels safe, empowered, and celebrated for who they are.

About
Root Speech and Myo Therapy

At Root Speech & Myo, I also partner closely with families, guiding parents through every step of their child’s journey. Whether it’s supporting speech and language growth, improving oral habits, or connecting you with trusted professionals for airway and orthodontic care, my goal is to provide a clear roadmap for lasting success.

When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m a proud mom who understands the joys and challenges of parenting. I bring that perspective into every session, making family collaboration a central part of the process.
