The Dollar Tree stores were selling SCENTED bubbles recently. Some come in a 3-pk in the typical bubble jar and some are sold individually with the jar looking like the fruit/scent. Using scented bubbles will add the food smell in addition to oral motor work. I think I saw some at Walgreens also.

Hi Stephanie, I am working with birth to 3 and have 2 clients with cleft palate, an almost year old-scheduled for repair surgery this summer and a 2 year old with co- morbid Pierre Robin Syndrome, who is really doing quite well verbally. I have shared your articles with them (oral motor kit and Speech therapy is a daily routine). I'd appreciate anything else that you could suggest that parents and daycare could do to facilitate. Thank you and have a good day, Cheryl

Hi I am a speech therapist working in Singapore

Does anyone know of workshops/training for paediatric dysphagia and oral motor techniques (paediatric) that might take place in Singapore (or nearby e.g Hong Kong)

Thanks

I've been reading some of your blogs with interest... my 3 1/2 yr old son has been receiving speech therapy 3X/wk for delayed speech, some planning, articulation and disfluency problems. His therapists have been wonderful and he has made great progress but will still need a lot of work to get up to par. We are relocating to Phila area but where we go will depend on the services he will receive. Currently we are considering Delaware Cty, Montgomery Cty or Chester Cty. Do you have any recommendations regarding their IU services? I would hate to decrease his services right now when he's really starting to make great strides. Thanks!

Lara ~ I get my nuks from two places - the Dysphagia Plus website (about $4.95) and Babies R Us - they sell ones that are blue and white and come with a brush and finger massager for young children (about $7.95 for the set of three).

Barbara ~ Great idea!! I do the same thing - thank you for bringing it up!! It's a great technique!

Romy ~ Thank you for your comment. I wish I had more info to assist you. It sounds as though you are working with older patients and you may do best to research their specific conditions and how to treat them. I worked once with a 2 yr old with a paralyzed vocal cord - we practiced making basic sounds in imitation. We also used alot of sign language to help them communicate while working on the articulation.

I also work part time with the birth to 3 population. When using the electric toothbrush, using the tune, "Row Row Row your boat", for each section of the teeth, I sing"brush, brush, brush your teeth, gently as we can. Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle _____'s teeth/lips/tongue". Even the little ones learn that the brushing is over when the song is over.

I am living in BOLIVIA and I am an Audiologist forced to give speech therapy due to the need here and I was glad to have studied in California. I have wonderful SLP friends who give me tips on how to help kids and your blog has helped lots and lots.

So all I want to say is thank YOU!

I do have some suggestions if anyone can send them to:

caab_bolivia@hotmail.com

There is this male who had thoat cancer and none of the SLPs here (who are mostly trained in Argentina) cant help him and he did some speech tx in Africa and wants me to help knowing my limitations.. So any ideas????

Also I have a couple on patients with unilateral vocal paralisis, any ideas here??? I ve done all the suggestions from my friends in CA, but if you have others or a page where I can get more guidance I will really appreciate it...

THANK YOU Again!!!
