Esperanza provides the Beckman Oral Motor Intervention as part of our speech and occupational therapy programs here in Dubai, UAE. This intervention aims to increase strength, coordination, and range of motion of oral structures such as the tongue, soft palate, lips, cheeks, and jaw. These oral structures are crucial for both speech production and feeding skills. Our program is designed to help individuals overcome challenges related to oral motor function and improve their communication and feeding in general.

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.
