Speech, Language & Oral Motor Therapy
In a Group Setting
Motor Mouths is an interactive group program designed to increase speech, language and oral-motor skills in children 20-42 months of age.
It is designed to bring children together in a language rich therapeutic environment. Children will learn through hands-on experiences, peer modeling, adult guidance and positive reinforcement. Motor Mouths will also increase caregiver awareness of language development.
A licensed speech & language pathologist will care out activities that enhance the development of all communication skills.
Eligibility for the group will be determined based on an initial speech therapy evaluation. While this group will benefit most children, it may not be appropriate for all.
