Beckman Oral Motor Intervention Program

 
Here at Esperanza Speech and Occupational Therapy Centre in Dubai, UAE, we offer the Beckman Oral Motor Intervention as part of our support for both speaking and everyday activities like eating. This special approach focuses on gently improving the strength, coordination, and how far the different parts of the mouth can move – things like the tongue, the soft part at the back of the roof of the mouth, the lips, cheeks, and jaw. These are really important for both talking clearly and for eating well. Our program is designed to help people overcome difficulties with these mouth movements so they can communicate and eat with more ease overall.
Who Can Benefit from the Beckman Oral Motor Intervention?

The Beckman Oral Motor Intervention is particularly beneficial for individuals facing challenges such as:

  • Motor Planning or Cognitive Challenges: Difficulties in motor planning and cognitive processing can affect oral movements necessary for speech therapy and feeding. This is often seen in children with autism or other developmental delays, making early intervention a key factor in their development.
  • Speech Sound Production Delays: For children or adults experiencing delays in speech sound development, the Beckman Oral Motor Intervention helps strengthen oral muscles, improving clarity and articulation. This intervention is a vital component of early speech therapy to enhance speech clarity.
  • Feeding, Chewing, or Swallowing Difficulties: Many children and adults face challenges with essential functions like chewing and swallowing. These difficulties can be addressed with occupational therapy techniques integrated into the Beckman Oral Motor approach, improving both feeding and speech skills.
  • Oral Sensory Issues: Sensory difficulties such as hypersensitivity, hyposensitivity, drooling, and teeth grinding are common in children with autism or sensory processing disorders. The Beckman Oral Motor Intervention targets these issues, improving oral sensory awareness.
