Oral Placement Therapy (OPT): What is it?
"Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) is used when a client cannot produce the standard speech sound using traditional approaches which rely on "Look at me, listen to me and say what I say."
OPT adds the tactile component or the "feel" of speech. TalkTools® unique therapy tools are used to teach articulator awareness, placement and muscle memory.
Once the client is able to produce the required placement, the speech sound is immediately introduced along with traditional interventions."
