Beckman Oral Motor Assessment

The Beckman Oral Motor Assessment is a tool used by healthcare professionals to evaluate the oral motor skills of individuals, particularly children. It assesses the strength, coordination, and movement of the mouth, lips, and tongue, which are essential for activities like eating, speaking, and swallowing. By observing how a person performs various oral tasks, clinicians can identify any difficulties and develop appropriate interventions or therapies to improve their oral motor function. This assessment is particularly useful for those with developmental delays, feeding issues, or communication disorders.
