Oral Placement Therapy at Ingenious Therapy Center
- Caring Support
- Regular Practice
- 4.5/5 (36 Review)
At Ingenious Therapy Center, our Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) program is designed to help individuals with special needs improve their speech, feeding, and oral motor skills. This therapy uses a combination of tactile, visual, and auditory cues to build the strength, coordination, and precision of the oral muscles needed for speaking and eating. With the help of specialized tools and techniques, we provide targeted interventions to address the specific oral-motor challenges faced by children and individuals with developmental and speech delays.
What is Oral Placement Therapy (OPT)?
Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on strengthening and improving the movements of the mouth, lips, tongue, and jaw. This therapy is especially effective for individuals with difficulties in speaking, feeding, and swallowing due to weak or uncoordinated oral muscles. By using tools such as straws, horns, and chewy tubes, therapists work on building muscle tone and control, enabling individuals to develop clearer speech and more efficient feeding skills.
