This course was excellent. The "journal review" style was quite helpful for retaining information. Further, the content/research review appears to put the final nail in the coffin of NSOME! A must-read and a resource to have in one's back pocket to support one's position at IEP meetings and with contentious advocates who do not know what they are talking about!

I thought this was a thought provoking article. When I was in grad school, we were taught to use oral motor therapy. Then, within 10 years, I was not to use oral motor therapy. Now, oral motor therapy is back again. However, this article states that oral motor statistically does not work.

A very interesting read. The outlined pros and cons left room for thought and more research into this area. As a school based therapist we often us NSOMT but after reading this I feel should have a rethink about my treatment approaches. With the evidence showing that NSOMT do not actually assist with the improvement of speech production i.e warming up the muscles when actually the muscular system is barely taxed.

Provided evidence for the exclusion of non-speech oral motor exercises for treatment. However, it also stated that oral motor movements can be included in the assessment of speech, mostly to assess the nature and severity of any neurological abnormalities. I have seen exercises work to reduce/eliminate drooling, so I'm not sure all of the studies are accurate.

I think this is a misunderstood class, and a true clinician especially a speech pathologist needs to understand how to assist a client to use their mouth to make speech sounds, or swallowing, I don't agree with the premise of this class. It's a backward step, we a certified SLP's need to look, know and understand the oral structure and clients with oral malformations( tongue tie, lip tie, or even cleft palate...) need an experienced and trained SLP to assist them to feel and understand their oral structures, you can't do that without engaging that awareness. It's not strengthening the muscles, that is a false notion, it's creating an awareness, or map for the client of how to make clear speech or how to swallow correctly and safely, this course is full of mis information. I suggest you remove it from your classes and update your options at speech pathology.com

I didn't prefer the 20Q. format as I felt it only left you with basically knowledge of the top of the use of OM in speech and dysphagia therapy. The take away was however consistent that more evidenced based trials are necessary and at this time the use of these techniques is not endorsed by the research.
