Cerebral palsy is a motor disorder that affects posture and movement. As for the muscular activity of the orofacial region in cases of PC cerebral palsy are affected, evidencing difficulties in performing automatic chewing and swallowing. This research aims to describe the effects of myofunctional therapy on the chewing and swallowing of children with PC. This is a quantitative-qualitative study, with a comparative descriptive design and an intentionally selected sample, consisting of 2 children who present PC with alteration in chewing and swallowing. The methodology applied in the study of instruments and techniques. The instruments used for the collection of information are the MBGR Orofacial Motor Assessment Protocol, translated by the CPAL speaking team (Paredes and Fernández, 2013); and surface electromyography. Meanwhile, the techniques used are: systematic observation, documentary analysis, data analysis procedure and a myofunctional therapy plan. In the selected sample, then in the application of myofunctional therapy, the results were evidenced in the optimization of five aspects: improving the position; promote lip closure during chewing; perceive the presence of accumulated saliva on the lower lip and swallow it; improve the chewing pattern; and strengthen the orofacial musculature. This allows us to conclude that myofunctional therapy does improve the functionality of the structures involved in chewing and swallowing children who have cerebral palsy.
