Oral Placement Therapy

Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) is a specialized approach to both speech and feeding therapy that focuses on improving speech clarity and oral function through the integration of tactile cues and oral-motor exercises.

Key Features of OPT:

Benefits of OPT:

  • Enhanced Oral Function: By focusing on oral-motor skills, OPT helps improve the functionality of the mouth for both speech and feeding.
  • Improved Speech Production: The targeted exercises lead to more accurate and consistent speech sounds, aiding in better communication.
  • Increased Muscle Strength and Coordination: The therapy enhances the strength and coordination of the muscles involved in speech and feeding, leading to more efficient oral movements.
  • Tailored Therapy Plans: Our personalized approach ensures that each child’s therapy plan is suited to their specific needs, maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment.

 

Our goal with Oral Placement Therapy is to provide children with the tools and skills they need to communicate more effectively and enjoy greater independence in their daily lives. By combining the best of traditional speech therapy with the innovative techniques of OPT, we strive to achieve optimal outcomes for each child.
