I used some oral motor techniques when I was in practice to get the children thinking about how there lips and tongue moved. But targeted the movement to production of words, phrases and sentences to increase overall speech production.
by

Reads too much like the research papers she was referencing. Examples are always helpful in illustrating points trying to be made. I feel like specific examples of NOMTs being used to elicit speech sounds, swallowing, etc. and why they do/do not work would have been helpful.

Although the article gave several differing definitions of NSOMEs, practical examples of what NSOMEs are NOT is needed. I use a variety of prompts to elicit speech sounds that cannot be elicited with simple modeling. I understand that teaching a child to blow bubbles will teach him/her to do just that: blow bubbles. A compare/contrast between prompts/practices that ARE considered NSOMEs and those that are NOT would have been much more helpful.

A great reminder that as SLPs we should limit the use of OM strategies as they aren't proven strategies for assisting our clients in making progress. Our short therapy sessions can be utilized for other strategies that are more effective.

There was no reference to the research conducted by Sarah Rosenfeld Johnson and Deborah Beckman, as well as the research that supports their treatment modalities. It had more of a negative view toward NSOMEs as opposed to a neutral view presenting the inconclusive research.

While there were some more current studies included (studies within the last 2-3 years), a lot of the studies were older (10-16 years). It is interesting that the percentage of therapists using NSOMTs appears to remain high given the fact that there is no clear efficacy for their use.

All the research backed findings were reassuring to me as I do not use NSOMT in my practice and often get lots of questions from parents about if there are any "mouth exercises" they can do with their child. It can be difficult to explain to families how being able to blow air through one's lips does not directly translate in being able to blow air to make an "f" sound. Glad to have research to base treatment strategies on!
