Motor Speech Therapy @ Oxford Speech Plus

Therapists at Oxford Speech Plus are trained in Kaufman Speech and Language Protocol which uses words and syllables that your child can already produce to shape more complex words and syllable shapes. Some Speech-Language Pathologists are also trained in PROMPT Therapy (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets). This research based therapy approach uses touch cues on the child’s speech articulators (ex., jaw, lips, tongue) to share correct movements needed to produce speech sounds and to increase motor control over speech muscles. It is important to note that children with motor speech disorders may have a wide variety of difficulties and an individual approach to therapy will be taken with each child.
