Oral beckman motor program

Can you please help me out. And to heep it up also have a 32 months old toddler who is again a picky eater so losing my mind. Hope you will help me. My son just turned 10 months old. He is slightly delayed due to mild low tone.

He has been doing physical and feeding OT therapy. He can handle mum mums. He is using straw cups with water and usually does fine. We tried shell macaroni, he ate one bite and did fine. The next time he held the noodle in his mouth for several minutes.

We understand Jenna how hard this transition can be! They are great in helping kids learn how to chew, since they dissolve as well! Hello, Love your posts. I live in Paris. Hi Nana! I have a free workshop that goes over the foundational steps that I think are totally necessary for any picky eater to make improvement.

I am working with an older child 5th grade. Is there a recommended hierarchy? Thank you!!! I put in two email addresses and have not received a copy. Could you email it to me? This is just perfect for my kindergartners! Hi, my almost 12 mos old grandson seems to be having speech and feeding issues. He will eat cereal puffs or teething biscuits pretty well.

Gags on, sometimes to the point of vomiting, with Stage 3 baby food that has chunks of food in it. Gags on table food. Have noticed that he has stopped working on speech tasks. Stopped saying dada, baba sounds etc. Are these issues related? Is this something that will eventually resolve or should I be looking into Speech Therapy? Hi Cyndi, they definitely can be related! Hi, my son has a neurological disorder which affects his perisylvian fissure control the oral motor area.

He does breastfeed but getting him on up solids is a nightmare. The problem is, though he sucks his hands he very rarely brings toys to mouth. So finger food is pointless and he would not put a spoon to his own mouth. Anyway, not sure how you can help but getting desperate.

Thanks in advance. Hi Emelia! Can you get him to hold a toy, will he refuse to put that in his mouth? Try different teethers, one that vibrates in particular! I love this article! I need the PDF to share with my assistants as well!

I am having trouble receiving the printable oral motor exercises when I click on the link to download them. I put in my name and email and nothing happens nor do I receive anything via email. Hi there! He seems to like to taste nonfood items, gags at the thought of unappealing food, likes to smell nonfood objects and people and shows distress at smells that other children do not notice.

He appears to avoid food based on smell and food texture and to avoid sitting near people who are eating things that cause him distress. Ask if you need to add more time to have it addressed. Speech therapists also address feeding. Also, I am having an issue with downloading the printable for oral motor exercises. Have you got any webpage where toys for special needs are sold.

I need something for chewing for my son. I love fun and function, and they have a chat and phone number you can call with excellent support. You can use my link here. Amazingly informative and so interesting article again from you.

Thanks for sharing these great fun things to practice, I am going to print the list out and test some of these out with my little one! Hi my name is Thuli and i am so frustrated and tired my son is 2yrs 7months and wont chew he keeps his food on his mouth and wont chew or swallow until u remind him to and i could take an hour or more just to feed him a small bowl of food but when it comes to soil,sand, paper and boxes he chews and swallow them fast that he makes sure he doesnt get caught.

I try telling my doctor this but she says he is fine my worry is that he is loosing weight and always have mucous and coughs what must i do? Hey Thuli, Thanks for reaching out to us! We can understand how frustrating this can be. Check out the tips in the article and keep us posted! My caregiver has been making it more like porridge texture.

As we thought she has teething issue. She is fling it out of her hand. She often choke on food and spit it out. She had problem when I try breastfeed her. I think it matches with oral motor issue. She only want soup or noodles. Demonstrating, while over exaggerating chewing yourself can be helpful! We have an awesome free workshop dedicated to teaching kids to eat table food. It would be a great place for you to start.

Hi Sadia, That sounds like it has been really tough for your girls! We are a team of Speech-Language Pathologists who have dedicated ourselves to treating children and adults with feeding disorders and orofacial myofunctional disorders. Give us a call to discuss your journey thus far at January Consensus Definition and Conceptual Framework. A huge prayer I have is that parents that are out there searching for videos of children with special needs will be encouraged by our videos and journey!

Keep up the work! Love the videos, especially this one. We are starting to work with Carly on her muscle tone around her mouth and tongue. She has been hanging out in level 3 food for a bit and is ready to make the move up to some more solid food. We will have to check out the Z Vibe as well. So good to see you on here! I enjoyed reading up on your story!

There will certainly be a video for that! He is sooooo adorable! Thank you for sharing his life with others. Thanks so much! Your son sounds awesome! I see from your website you guys are from Dallas; do you go to any of the guild meetings? I have a two month old girl who was diagnosed with Down syndrome,I was wondering where you can purchase the z vibe. What an amazing site you created, thank you for sharing! What a gorgeous son you have, I have a gorgeous little princess myself, she will turn 1 on the 18th of November.

Ofcourse I can see that our little lady sticks out her tongue, however, we do not have comparing material to work out whether it is necessary. If it works and it is needed ofcourse, but rather not when it is not necessary. I will go and find out more about this Beckman therapy. Can you see improvement yet or have you not been doing it that long yet?

Kindest regards, Martine. We saw great improvement. We have actually just started back with the exercises as he is dribbling with eating. Our ST said we had to be careful with stimulating the tongue as then he could be seeking that stimulation all that time. Let me know if you need any help. I just saw this and I am laughing at the way Noah is looking at you. But then he seems to get into it and starts having fun. You should be so proud of your precious little guy and you and your wife should give youselves a big pat of the back for being the greatest parents.

Thank you for writing about such an important topic-oral motor exercises are an important part in my special needs classroom!

It has led to better eating for my students as well as less self stimulation-students ate less likely to chew on their clothing, fingers etc.

I do learn something from pretty much every video I watch. Sorry you are having a hard time watching the video. What happens when you try to watch it, and what are you trying to watch it on? Thank you for sharing your journey. This is an amazing website! My granddaughter was born on May 27th and is just precious — as is Noah! We are still in the learning stages and researching all resources available to give her the best start possible.

At what age is the Z-vibe recommended for use? Nothing has ever worked like your Oral Motor Protocol. It helps better than anything I have ever used. Thank you so so so much for sharing your work with all of us. I wish I had learned this in school instead of midway through my career.
