Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) is designed to strengthen the oral muscles necessary for speech, feeding, and swallowing. Children with weak oral motor control often struggle with articulation and eating, and this therapy helps them gain better muscle coordination. Using sensory-motor exercises, therapists target the jaw, lips, tongue, and cheeks to improve speech clarity and feeding abilities. OPT is particularly beneficial for children with conditions like cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or developmental delays that affect oral motor skills. This therapy ensures that children can eat and speak comfortably and effectively.
Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) is important for children who have difficulties with speech production, feeding, and swallowing due to weak oral motor muscles. Many children with developmental disorders, such as Down syndrome or cerebral palsy, experience challenges in controlling their tongue, lips, and jaw movements, affecting both communication and nutrition. OPT uses sensory-motor techniques to strengthen these muscles, improving articulation, speech clarity, and safe eating. This therapy helps children develop better oral motor control, making everyday activities like speaking and chewing more effective and comfortable.
