A Three-Part Treatment Plan for Oral-Motor Therapy,
Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson, M.S., CCC-SLP

Sara's unique tactile-sensory approach to speech therapy uses therapy tools 'disguised' as toys. See how 40 fun-to-use exercises can be used to improve phonation, resonation, and speech clarity. Interactive, hands-on demonstrations will focus on therapeutically sound techniques that develop the oral-motor muscles needed for improving speech clarity: abdomen, velum, jaw, lips, and tongue. Your clients (or your child) will actually want to do these exercises, because they're fun and they work!
