Sara R. Johnson's oral-motor techniques have improved the speech clarity of thousands of clients, even in many cases where traditional therapy alone has failed. This comprehensive guide will help you to implement these techniques yourself. (228 pages; includes the Oral-Motor Hierarchy Poster)

Sara's step-by-step, task-analyzed approach to oral-motor therapy can help facilitate success for clients of all ages and ability levels who evidence speech clarity disorders related to insufficient oral-motor skills or abilities. The exercises are appropriate for many clients diagnosed with Down syndrome, C.P., apraxia/dyspraxia, post-CVA, VPI, and autism, as well as those with less-involved deficits such as lisp or vocalic /r/. Sara's hands-on methods are graphically captured in this book, which is designed for interactive use between therapists, clients, and parents.
