BFC Oral Sensory Integration Therapy
Innovative Speech Therapy: Our Oral Placement Therapy Approach
Why Our Speech Therapy is Different
We are dedicated to providing innovative and effective speech therapy services. One of the unique approaches we utilize is Oral Placement Therapy (OPT). OPT is a tactile- proprioceptive teaching technique, which is used to improve articulator awareness and placement to facilitate accurate sound production. Here’s how our use of OPT sets us apart and enhances our speech therapy services:
Precision and Personalization in Therapy
Targeted Techniques: OPT allows for highly specific interventions that are tailored to each individual’s needs, focusing on the precise movements that form the basis of speech sounds.
-Comprehensive Assessment and Customization: Before beginning treatment, we conduct thorough assessments to identify specific areas of difficulty and tailor our approach using OPT techniques to address these challenges directly.
Enhanced Articulation and Speech Clarity
Direct Feedback: OPT provides direct feedback on tongue, lip, and jaw positions, which are essential for producing clear and precise speech sounds.
Progressive Skill Development: Starting with basic skills and progressively moving to more complex tasks ensures steady improvement and clear speech development over time.
Multisensory Integration
Tactile Feedback: By incorporating touch alongside traditional visual and auditory feedback, OPT engages multiple senses to reinforce learning, making it especially effective for clients who benefit from hands-on learning.
Coordination and Motor Skills: OPT also helps in developing better motor control beyond speech, including breathing and swallowing techniques.
Complementing Traditional Speech Therapy
Integrative Approach: While OPT is distinct, it complements traditional speech therapy techniques by providing additional tools and methods that can accelerate progress in speech therapy.
Versatility: OPT is adaptable and can be integrated with other therapeutic approaches to meet the diverse needs of our clients, from toddlers to adults.
