Education and Training > Language and Speech Services
Weak tongue and/or lip muscles can decrease the clarity of speech and inhibit feeding and/or swallowing. ComKey therapists employ oral activities such as blowing bubbles and whistles, using straws and chewing gum to strengthen these muscles. Also, clients may demonstrate difficulties coordinating the movement of structures in the mouth during speech. These difficulties are called apraxia. ComKey Therapy specializes in the treatment of apraxia which includes structured practice of speech movements.
Dysphagia and Feeding Therapy:
ComKey Therapists address the problems which may be important in preventing or eliminating nutritional concerns, growth concerns including failure to thrive, unsafe swallowing which may lead to aspiration, pneumonia and future poor eating habits/attitudes.
