Therapy Goals
- Provide multisensory tactile and proprioceptive input to facilitate motor planning and sequencing for bilabial phoneme production.
- Build muscle memory and consistent motor patterns for the m, p, and b speech sounds through structured, graded tool use.
- Facilitate sensory awareness of lip and jaw positioning and movement during targeted bilabial phoneme practice.
- Support treatment of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and developmental dyspraxia through sensory-motor hierarchies.
- Develop volitional, consistent control of bilabial sounds for functional speech production across contexts.
Key Benefits
- Multisensory design: addresses the m, p, and b phonemes through tactile, proprioceptive, and visual channels simultaneously.
- Flexible formats: available as individual tool sets (Tubes, Shapes, Blocks) or as a Complete Program with clinical instructional videos.
- Structured hierarchy: the Complete Program provides clinical guidance for SLP-led implementation.
- Flexible purchasing options: therapists can acquire individual components or the full program as needed.
- Wide clinical applicability: suitable for children and adults across a range of motor speech diagnoses and ability levels.
Ideal for:
- Children and adults with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) or developmental dyspraxia.
- Clients targeting bilabial phoneme production for m, p, and b sounds in speech therapy.
- Speech-language pathologists implementing multisensory approaches to motor speech treatment.
- Occupational therapists supporting oral motor and sensory processing goals.
- Early intervention, private practice, school-based, and clinic settings.
