OROFACIAL MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY (OMT)

​OROFACIAL MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY (OMT)

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a specialized form of speech therapy that focuses on the proper development and function of the muscles in the face, mouth, and throat. Here are some benefits of OMT for a child's speech and feeding development:

​

  • Improved chewing and swallowing abilities, leading to better nutrition and reduced risk of choking and aspiration

  • Corrected tongue and lip placement, improving speech sound production and reducing speech disorders such as lisps and interdental sounds

  • Decreased drooling and improved control of saliva, leading to improved hygiene and socialization

  • Reduced finger, thumb, and pacifier sucking habits, leading to improved dental development and oral health

  • Improved oral sensory awareness, leading to better food acceptance and reduction of picky eating habits

  • Enhanced facial muscle tone, leading to improved facial expressions and nonverbal communication
