PROMPT Therapy
Sensory Motor Approach to Feeding
Oral Placement Therapy
- Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets
- Highly successful treatment technique for individuals with apraxia or dysarthria.
- A tactile-kinesthetic way to manually guides articulators - jaws, lips, vocal folds, and tongue - by targeting certain words, phrases, or sentences.
- A holistic approach that encompasses social-emotional, cognitive-linguistic, and physical-sensory.
Oral Placement Therapy
Sensory Motor Approach to Feeding
Oral Placement Therapy
- A tactile-proprioceptive technique that stimulates (1) sensory stimulation, (2) visual stimulation, and (3) tactile stimulation to the mouth for speech clarity.
- To improve articulator awareness, placement (dissociation, grading, and direction of movement), stability, and muscle memory that are necessary for speech clarity.
Sensory Motor Approach to Feeding
Sensory Motor Approach to Feeding
Sensory Motor Approach to Feeding
- Identify oral-phase feeding deficiencies.
- Address sensory-motor components that promotes acceptance to touch, enabling children to learn to eat and develop appropriate oral-motor movements for feeding.
- Use therapy tools that can enhance bottle/breast feeding, spoon feeding, chewing, cup drinking, straw drinking.
SOS Approach to Feeding
Oral Myofunctional Therapy
Sensory Motor Approach to Feeding
- Sequential - Oral - Sensory Approach to Feeding
- Foods are the star of the therapy! Create a food hierarchy and engage the child to play and eat foods in a fun, playful, and effective way.
- Address all components of feeding as a whole such as organ systems, oral motor, sensory processing, development, nutrition, environment, learning, behavior, and cognition.
Oral Myofunctional Therapy
Oral Myofunctional Therapy
Oral Myofunctional Therapy
- Having knowledge in Oral Myofunctional Disorder (OMD) and able to identify and assess atypical, adaptive patterns of the complex orofacial complex.
- OMD includes tongue thrust, orthodontic relapse, sleep apnea, TMJ, and more.
- It's team approach that may involve with a specialized orthodontist, SLP, dental hygienist, and other related fields.
