Is your child struggling with oral motor skills? Do you know the signs and symptoms of oral motor dysfunction? Things like tongue ties, poor coordination of the tongue and lips, or reasons behind mouth breathing or snoring? We are definitely not experts in this area, but it is a topic that comes up often during OT, so we want to make sure you have the resources you need to feel confident in talking to your pediatrician and finding a specialist for a second opinion! Hope this is helpful!
