(O-MMATS) An Oral-Motor Myofunctional Approach to Speech
Joan S. Kissel/ Ellen Kissel Thomas
Ages: 4 years through Adult
Administration: Individual or Group
The O-M MATS presents an oral-motor myofunctional approach to speech problems which do not respond to phonological processes techniques or to other cognitively based approaches.
It presents a series of facilitation exercises designed to develop muscle strength, jaw closure, centerline airstream, and the tongue-tip placement and grooving necessary for the production of the s, ch, sh, I, and r sounds.
Included are functional oral motor exercises which may be used in conjunction with skilled speech therapy treatments in nursing homes and health care centers for clients with dysphagia and dysarthria. The O-M MATS is appropriate for use by speech/language pathologists working in public schools, private practice, clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, and universities.
