Benefits of Oral Motor Exercises
Children with articulation disorders (those that mispronounce words and sounds) or those that speak with reduced clarity, such as mumbling or imprecise speech may benefit from oral-motor exercises. These are tongue and lip exercises that strengthen the muscles used for speech and can improve the sound of one's speech if done consistently over time. However, sometimes speech problems are the result of an auditory/language processing disorder that needs to be addressed. In this case, oral-motor exercises alone will not be enough to remediate the speech issues.

The Integrated Listening System Focus home unit helps to address auditory processing issues which are a common root cause of phonological processing issues. Clients have often been treated for phonological processing issues when the true cause lies deeper. When the auditory issues are treated a person is able to discriminate what they hear more efficiently and improved phonological processing skills often result. Please visitwww.clearpathways.org for more information about the iLS home unit.

Ashley is doing much better in school and we are seeing a lot of A's. More importantly her confidence in herself and her ability has improved tremendously. She's very proud of herself which thrills me. Thank you again, Janel!
