An Integrated Evaluation of Nonspeech Oral Motor Treatments
Powell, Thomas W.
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v39 n3 p422-427 Jul 2008
Purpose: This article functions as an epilogue to the clinical forum examining the use of nonspeech oral motor treatments (NSOMTs) to remediate speech sound disorders in children. Method: Conclusions to eight clinical questions are formed based on the findings that were reported in the clinical forum. Theoretical and clinical challenges are also identified. Conclusion: NSOMTs have serious theoretical and empirical shortcomings. At present, there is insufficient evidence to support the routine clinical application of these procedures to remediate developmental speech sound disorders.
