Oral Motor Therapy

Oral-Motor Therapy is a therapeutic approach used to improve the coordination and strength of the muscles in and around the mouth. It is often utilized for individuals who have difficulty with speech, eating, or swallowing, especially children with developmental delays or conditions like cerebral palsy. The therapy involves targeted exercises and activities that help enhance oral motor skills, allowing for better communication and safer eating. By focusing on muscle control and movement, Oral-Motor Therapy aims to support individuals in developing more effective oral function and improving their overall quality of life.
