  2. WHAT IS ORAL PLACEMENT THERAPY? Oral placement therapy is a method designed to help individuals with speech and feeding issues by focusing on improving the strength, coordination, and movement of the oral muscles. It is especially effective for individuals who have difficulty producing specific speech sounds due to physical limitations in their oral motor skills. This therapy is often used in conjunction with traditional speech therapy to provide a more comprehensive approach to addressing speech and feeding disorders. Unlike traditional speech therapy, which focuses primarily on auditory and visual stimulation to develop speech sounds, OPT emphasizes tactile and proprioceptive input. It engages the muscle groups directly involved in speech production, such as the lips, tongue, and jaw, providing the necessary foundation for clear articulation. www.speechgears.com

  3. KEY COMPONENTS OF AN ORAL PLACEMENT THERAPY KIT An oral placement therapy Kit typically contains a variety of tools designed to help individuals practice different oral motor movements. Each tool is intended to target specific muscle groups, helping to build strength, mobility, and coordination in the mouth. SpeechGears’ Therapeutic Special Kit includes tools such as: Bite Blocks – These help develop jaw stability and strength by requiring the individual to bite down on the block, training the jaw muscles to maintain proper positioning for speech production. Tongue Elevation Tools – These tools are designed to help individuals practice lifting their tongue to the roof of the mouth, an essential movement for producing certain speech sounds. Straws and Horns – Used to improve lip rounding, breath control, and tongue retraction, these tools encourage proper oral airflow, which is necessary for the production of sounds like "p," "b," and "t." www.speechgears.com

  4. WHY IS AN ORAL PLACEMENT THERAPY KIT ESSENTIAL? OPT kits are essential because they provide the physical stimulation needed to strengthen and coordinate the muscles responsible for speech production. The targeted tools in the kit are specifically designed to improve muscle tone, sensory awareness, and movement control in the mouth. Benefits of Using an Oral Placement Therapy Kit: 1. Improved Speech Clarity By using tools like bite blocks, tongue elevation tools, and lip exercises, individuals can practice the precise movements required for producing clear and articulate speech. Over time. Enhanced Oral Motor Skills Oral motor skills are the foundation of speech production. Weak or poorly coordinated oral muscles can make it difficult for individuals to produce certain sounds or speak fluently. Support for Feeding Issues Many individuals who have difficulty with speech also experience challenges with feeding, such as difficulty chewing or swallowing. 2. 3. www.speechgears.com

  5. 4. Sensory Integration For children with sensory processing disorders, especially those on the autism spectrum, sensory tools in the therapy kit provide the tactile and proprioceptive input needed for oral awareness. This helps them become more aware of their oral movements, enabling them to better control their speech production. 5.Engaging and Fun for Children Many of the tools in an OPT kit are designed to be engaging and fun for children. Items like straws, horns, and chewy tools make therapy sessions interactive, helping children stay motivated and interested in their speech development. The tactile input and resistance provided by these tools make therapy more effective and enjoyable. www.speechgears.com

  6. WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM AN ORAL PLACEMENT THERAPY KIT? The Oral Placement Therapy Kit is highly effective for individuals of all ages who experience speech difficulties due to oral motor challenges. Common conditions that benefit from the use of an OPT kit include: Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS): Children with CAS have difficulty coordinating the movements needed to produce speech. An OPT kit helps them practice the specific oral motor movements required for speech production. Dysarthria: This condition involves weakness or poor coordination of the muscles used for speech, often due to neurological disorders. The tools in an OPT kit can strengthen these muscles, improving speech clarity and fluency. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Many children with ASD experience sensory processing issues that affect their ability to speak clearly. Sensory tools in the kit provide the input needed to improve oral awareness and control. www.speechgears.com
