Oral Placement Therapy

• Strengthens muscles of the lips, tongue, and jaw

• Improves speech clarity and sound production

• Supports feeding skills like chewing and swallowing

• Enhances control and coordination needed for speech

• Complements traditional speech therapy for better outcomes

If your child finds it difficult to pronounce sounds despite speech therapy, the challenge may lie in muscle coordination. Do they have unclear speech, drooling, or difficulty moving their tongue or lips correctly? You may also notice struggles with chewing food properly or transitioning between textures.

Children who have low oral muscle tone or limited control may not develop clear speech without targeted intervention. If your child appears to “know what to say but cannot physically say it clearly,” Oral Placement Therapy can be especially beneficial.
