About Oral Motor Therapy

Oral motor therapy, also known as oral placement therapy or oral sensory motor therapy, is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on improving the strength, coordination, and control of the muscles in the mouth and face. These muscles play a crucial role in various functions, including:

  • Speech
  • Swallowing
  • Facial expressions
  • Sensory processing

Oral motor delays

Delayed development of oral motor skills in infants and toddlers.

Speech sound disorders

Difficulty producing specific speech sounds due to weak or uncoordinated oral muscles.

Feeding difficulties

Challenges with sucking, swallowing, or chewing food and liquids.

Sensory processing disorders

Difficulties processing sensory information received through the mouth and face.

Benefits of oral motor therapy:

  • Improved speech clarity: Oral motor therapy can strengthen and coordinate the muscles needed for speech production, leading to clearer and more accurate speech.
  • Enhanced feeding skills: Oral motor exercises can improve sucking, swallowing, and chewing abilities, making it easier for individuals to eat and drink independently.
  • Reduced drooling: By improving tongue control and oral motor skills, oral motor therapy can help reduce excessive drooling.
  • Increased facial expressions: Strengthening facial muscles can improve facial expressions, leading to better communication and social interaction.
  • Improved sensory processing: Oral motor exercises can enhance sensory awareness and processing in the mouth and face, leading to better sensory regulation.
  • Enhanced oral hygiene: Improved tongue control can facilitate better oral hygiene practices.

Who can benefit from oral motor therapy?

Oral motor therapy can benefit individuals of all ages experiencing challenges with oral motor skills, including:

  • Infants and toddlers: Children with delayed oral motor development, feeding difficulties, or drooling.
  • Children: Individuals with speech sound disorders, apraxia of speech, or other developmental conditions affecting oral motor skills.
