Oral Motor Therapy
Oral motor therapy addresses the physical movements and muscle coordination needed for speech production and feeding. This includes strengthening the tongue, lips, jaw, and cheeks.
Many speech and feeding difficulties in infants and toddlers are related to oral motor challenges. Our therapists use specialized techniques to improve muscle tone and coordination in a gentle, child-friendly way.
Improved oral motor skills can have a positive impact on both speech clarity and feeding abilities, supporting your child's overall development.
