Oral Motor Disorders

My child has trouble coordinating their mouth muscles for eating or talking.

When the muscles of the mouth don't coordinate well for eating, speaking, or swallowing, it can affect a child's confidence and comfort. Therapy focuses on strengthening and retraining these muscles for lasting improvement.
