This program is a tactile teaching technique which supplements traditional therapy. It is used to improve oral motor skills for all ages and ability levels. This type of oral-motor therapy is used for individuals with articulation disorders (muscle-based, phonological, developmental delay and apraxia of speech), voice disorders, fluency disorders and post CVA clients, as well as clients with mild-to-profound levels of hearing loss. It incorporates a tactile component which is used to improve muscle awareness, placement and strength/motor memory – all prerequisites for the development of speech clarity. Sara Rosenfeld Johnson created a variety of different exercises to target the strength and awareness of the lips, tongue, soft palate and jaw. Some common programs include the straw drinking hierarchy, horn blowing program and the bite block program.
