Oral-Placement-Therapy

Oral Placement Therapy at Vedanta Speech and Hearing Healthcare

Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) is a type of speech and feeding therapy that uses tactile (touch-based) cues and tools to improve the strength, coordination, and movement of the oral muscles involved in speech and feeding. It is often used with individuals who have difficulty producing speech sounds clearly or who struggle with feeding skills due to muscle weakness or poor coordination.
Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) is a speech therapy which utilizes a combination of:
Auditory stimulation (listening to speech sounds)
Visual stimulation (watching the therapist’s mouth)
Tactile stimulation to the mouth to improve speech clarity. (feeling how the mouth and face move)

OPT is an important addition to traditional speech treatment methods for clients with placement and movement deficits. It is a tactile-proprioceptive teaching technique which accompanies traditional therapy. Traditional therapy is primarily auditory and visual. Clients with motor and/or sensory impairments benefit from tactile and proprioceptive components because speech is a tactile-proprioceptive act. OPT is used to improve articulation awareness, placement (dissociation, grading, and direction of movement), stability, and muscle memory all of these are necessary for the development of speech clarity.


Who Might Benefit from Oral Placement Therapy


OPT can be used with clients of different age group and ability levels. It assists children who have issues with feeding, drooling and pronunciation. It can also be incorporated into program plans for many types of speech disorders (e.g., dysarthria, apraxia of speech voice disorders, fluency disorders and post CVA clients, as well as clients with mild-to-profound levels of hearing loss). Traditional auditory and visually based speech facilitation has not been effective with these clients because there may be a movement or placement disorder. So, before introducing any of the OPT techniques, the client’s motor functioning for speech and feeding should be thoroughly assessed. It is benifical for :


Children with speech sound disorders
Individuals with oral-motor delays
Children with apraxia of speech
People with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or autism
Individuals with feeding or drooling difficulties


Why Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) Matters

Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) matters because it addresses the physical foundation required for clear speech and safe, effective feeding—especially in individuals who struggle with oral-motor control.
Supports Speech Sound Development
Improves Feeding and Swallowing
Builds Sensory Awareness
Bridges a Gap in Traditional Speech Therapy


OPT matters because it fills a critical gap for individuals whose speech and feeding challenges stem from motor-based and sensory issues, not just language delay. It helps them build the physical tools needed to speak, eat, and interact more effectively with the world.



The approach is typically provided by trained and certified speech-language pathologists (SLPs), audiologists, or therapists who specialize in techniques. The goal is for the person to successfully develop skills that allow them to interact with the world around them.
