The Oral-Motor Therapy Approach
The Oral-Motor Therapy Approach focuses on improving the muscle strength and coordination in the mouth and face, which can enhance speech and swallow abilities. This therapy involves exercises that target the lips, tongue, and jaw, helping individuals develop better control and movement for clearer speech and easier eating. It is often used for children with speech delays or difficulties, as well as adults recovering from strokes or other neurological conditions. The goal is to strengthen oral muscles to improve communication and overall oral health.
