Speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists treating children ages birth to 5 with oral-motor, feeding, swallowing, and/or articulation problems will want this practical book. Parents and caregivers will also love the easy-to-implement strategies and excercises. It is also a useful tool for intervention and prevention.
It incorporates the principles of child-centered, play-based, and relationship-based therapy, making the activities effective as well as fun and interactive. The articles and activities are written in simple language so the layperson can follow the directions and understand the content. The articles are concise, are reproducible, and cover specific topics, such as Babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Transitioning to Food and Utensils, and Low Muscle Tone.
The articles and activities can be modified for many populations. They address the needs of children who have mild to moderate oral-muscular (oral-motor) disorders or feeding difficulties or both. Among those may be children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, sensory integration dysfunction, prematurity, Down syndrome, or other developmental delays.
The text in the book is divided into two main sections: 26 caregiver articles and 56 fun-filled activities.
