The course brought up the idea of motor-based articulation therapy which is intriguing to me and warrants investigation. The course pointed out the inefficacy of "using a non-speech task for treating the production of a certain speech sound" so I am interested to learn how a motor-based articulation approach would produce effective results in therapy.

The sharing of research and articles that support the idea that non speech oral motor exercises do not impact speech development. Good information to be able to share with parents when they ask if it is an effective treatment when recommended by private therapists

I liked the way it was organized, but author appeared biased towards NSOMTs. I initially resisted my supervisor suggesting I use these when completing my CFY, but anecdotal evidence has proven otherwise over the years. When treating a child for /r/, I look for tongue/jaw dissociation. If not present, tongue lateralization tasks are implemented for home practice. Tongue tip to roof of mouth for increasing periods of time is another task. Both take 3 mins tops, then we move on to sound practice.

I found this course rather interesting as I am currently receiving additional training to be a feeding specialist and a lot of what I am learning is oral motor exercises/Beckman. I also know many SLP's who do oral motor warm ups before articulation sessions and am amazed at some of the lack of data to back these exercises within our field.

The author provided a balanced presentation of using non speech oral motor tasks as a positive and negative in treatment or non oral speech tasks. I find myself not being able to come down on either side of the argument as there is so much research that it seem impossible to firmly state that these tasks are beneficial for treatment in swallowing, feeding, drooling etc... This also makes me uneasy in simply going along with providing these treatments as this is what is done in my hospital.
