Awesome that you're getting speech therapy - there is a lot of potential for progress! Do the exercises the SLP tells you to do - several times a day, every day.
The exercises can do SOOOOO very much in terms of gaining strength and ROM (range of motion) for your tongue/lips/cheeks/ throat which could improve speech quality and eating!!!
