Oral exercises made fun!

FROG FACE alerts children to their tongue and what it can do! Great for children who have a short lingual frenum (tongue-tie) and who need lots of tongue stretching.*

(*if recommended by your speech pathologist)

Practising oral movements can become boring ...but not with MOTORMOUTH ã. Six fun characters demonstrate over 40 oral movements. Each has a story to keep practice fun... like Danny the Dog who licks dog food from around his lips and Frog Face who catches flies with his tongue.  Print out as flashcards or view as a slideshow on a computer (or some DVD players.)  Cut, paste, make your own presentations. Great for children who have low oral muscle tone, poor oral coordination, reduced initiation or impaired oromotor planning. THE SLIDESHOW COMPONENT MAY BE BURNT TO CD  FOR CLIENTS TO USE AS HOME PRACTICE!

Used with children who have low oral tone (some children with Down Syndrome),  tongue-tie, oral or verbal dyspraxia, dysarthria or cerebral palsy

Stimulates and develops oral awareness

Works on awareness,  agility, coordination and range of oral movement

Assists in saliva control programs

CRAZY COW says mmm...oooo as the grass grows around her.

These are early developing sounds but may be difficult for some children with low lip tone.

DANNY DOG gets his tongue moving right round his lips - top and bottom to lick all the food from his face.

PUFFER FISH puffs her cheeks up and holds them there until all the fish have passed. Good practise for lipseal.

MIKE THE MOUTH does loads of things with his lips, teeth, tongue and cheeks. Great for teaching children about their mouthparts. This may be a vital precursor to later speech intervention.
