Char Boshart, M.A., CCC-SLP is a therapist, seminar presenter, president of Speech Dynamics, and a published author of several practical books, including Swalloworks Therapy Program, The Myofunctional Evaluation, The Key to Carryover, Demystify the Tongue Tie, and The Easy R.
She graduated with her Masters in Speech-Language Pathology from Western Michigan University under the tutelage of Dr. Charles Van Riper (the "father" of articulation). Since that time, she’s been an Assistant Professor and Department Chair at Loma Linda University and worked several years in the public schools and in private practice. She started her first myofunctional practice in 1978, then another, Orthocare, in 1985 where she trained and placed therapists throughout southern California. Through the IAOM certification process, Dr. Marv Hanson, a founder of the IAOM, became her mentor and friend.
In addition, she has several CEU videos through SpeechTherapypd.com, is host of the Speech Link podcast, and writes an idea-oriented blog called Therapy Matters. Char has presented hundreds of well-received seminars. Her passion, however, is doing therapy and talking about it.
