Oral Placement Therapy

Oral Placement Therapy at Talkative1 Child Development Centre

At Talkative1 Child Development Centre, we offer specialized Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) to support children in developing proper oral motor skills required for clear speech, feeding, and overall facial muscle coordination. Many children face challenges in controlling the muscles of the mouth, lips, tongue, and jaw, which can impact their ability to speak clearly or eat effectively.

Our Oral Placement Therapy program is designed to strengthen these muscles through structured exercises and guided techniques. By improving oral motor control, we help children achieve better speech clarity, improved feeding skills, and enhanced confidence in communication.

Our experienced therapists use safe, effective, and child-friendly methods to ensure that therapy sessions are both engaging and beneficial.

What is Oral Placement Therapy?

Oral Placement Therapy is a technique used to improve the strength, coordination, and movement of the oral muscles. It focuses on developing proper control of the lips, tongue, and jaw, which are essential for speech production and feeding.

This therapy uses specific tools and exercises to guide correct oral movements, helping children produce sounds more accurately and manage food and swallowing better.

Oral Placement Therapy can benefit children who experience:

• Unclear or slurred speech
• Difficulty in producing certain sounds
• Weak oral muscle control
