As with any muscle strengthening therapy, the key to rehabilitating the swallow is repetition. Spending half an hour on swallowing exercises can become mundane for both the patient and the therapist. If no one is having fun, therapy will be less effective. So how can we spice up dysphagia treatment? I have taken suggestions from ... Read More about Increasing engagement during swallowing therapy

Well, I say caterpillar, but I have seen this one turn into snakes and butterflies today, so I guess it is a just an activity you can use to cover a variety of creatures :) This week is all about outdoors and bugs...in between rounds with state standardized tests. UGH. This activity brings some fun and creativity to my afternoons that are much needed after dealing with testing all morning! Last year I read this post from Jenna at SRN and I loved her craft idea using In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming...so I kinda morphed that activity into one for my artic groups also!At first glance it looks like a cut up piece of paper...But then you pull down the grass and voila! Caterpillar! Or other creature :)First, you will need a variety of circles...I did lots of spring colors, but you could also just stick to one. And I know, these are technically not circles...more oval...I had an empty Crystal Light container hanging around and perfect for the job. :) Also gather green construction paper, scissors, glue, and markers. I used sharpie when I was making my example, but I don't recommend handing these out to little people. It is like they know it is permanent and they draw themselves a mustache that mom is not so thrilled about when they get home. Sigh. To start, you take the green paper and perform the hamburger fold (short way). Then you cut strips up to the fold. This is some great fine motor practice for my little friends who need to work on scissor skills. Then you get the 'crunch' the grass!

Early Intervention Myofunctional Therapy BOOM Cards that reinforce tongue function! These FOUR activity cards can be used as visual prompts and rewards to encourage lingual range of motion, coordination, strength, and stability. These recommended exercises are part of the Mini Myo Early Intervention Program, which was developed by Juniper Speech Therapy to use with children in the early intervention population (ages 2-5) who may be at risk of developing an Orofacial Myofunctional Disorder. Using these colorful and fun BOOM cards during both virtual and in-person therapy sessions can help to encourage and reinforce the target skills you are working on! These activities should not replace skilled therapy with a trained professional. It is recommended that the professional identify the exercises and the practice frequency that are appropriate for the client's specific goals and create an individualized treatment plan. If you are concerned about your child's speech, feeding and oral development, please seek out a full evaluation from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with experience in treating Myofunctional and Feeding Disorders. NOTE: A BOOM Learning account is needed to purchase and use BOOM Cards.
