Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) is a specialized speech therapy approach which enhances oral motor skills for speech and feeding by using tactile and proprioceptive inputs. It helps improve speech clarity and feeding in individuals with conditions like apraxia, dysarthria, and expressive language delays.

At The Speech Clinic, we use Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) to enhance speech and feeding skills through a structured hierarchy of tools and movement-based prompts. Unlike traditional speech therapy, OPT provides targeted sensory input to improve speech clarity, sentence length, and oral coordination. It is beneficial for individuals of all ages, especially those with muscle awareness, coordination, or sensitivity challenges. OPT helps with conditions such as apraxia, dysarthria, feeding difficulties, and expressive language delays. By integrating OPT, we build essential motor skills for confident and effective communication.
