Oral Placement Therapy

Oral Placement Therapy is a specialized approach used to improve speech and swallowing by guiding how the tongue, lips, and jaw move during these activities. It involves providing targeted exercises and cues to help individuals develop better oral muscle coordination and strength. This therapy is often beneficial for people with speech, feeding, or swallowing challenges caused by developmental delays, neurological conditions, or injuries. The goal is to enhance oral motor skills, leading to clearer speech and safer, more effective swallowing, ultimately improving communication and overall quality of life.
