Mouth Madness: Oral Motor Activities For Children

Mouth Madness: Oral Motor Activities for Children

This manual features games, rhymes, and manipulative tasks to help preschool and primary school children with hearing impairment, oral dyspraxia, and articulation problems. Children will learn feeding and verbal skills through oral imitation and motor planning. The games target higher organizational levels of motor planning for oral motor skills. These activities provide a natural focus on the mouth, an approach that can be shared with children who do not have disabilities. Games include saying silly sentences and rhymes and making funny faces.
