Oral-Motor Intervention

Oral-motor intervention is a therapy that helps improve the strength, coordination, and movement of the muscles involved in swallowing, speech, and eating. It is often used for individuals who have difficulty with these functions due to developmental delays, medical conditions, or injuries. The therapy typically involves specific exercises and activities designed to enhance muscle control in the mouth, lips, tongue, and jaw. The goal is to make eating, drinking, and speaking safer and more effective, ultimately supporting better communication and nutrition.
