Module 3.7- Cleft Palate Speech and Feeding: Why Non-speech Oral Motor Exercises Don't Work

This video is a part of a series of speech therapy and feeding tutorials to address the speech and feeding of children with cleft palate. Created by Catherine Crowley, Miriam Baigorri, and Chelsea Sommer. Research for over 20 years has demonstrated repeatedly that blowing, sucking, horn blowing, massage, z-vibes, tongue and lip strengthening exercises do not have any impact on speech development. Sadly, too many speech therapists do not know this research and continue to waste time and money. This module reviews the research.
