Lip Gym™ is a comprehensive mouth exercise program! This program is based on exercises from Sara Rosenfeld Johnson's book "Oral Placement Therapy for Speech Clarity and Feeding." Newly designed colorful weights added to the basic spatula make lip closing exercises even more fun! Use this program to improve awareness, positioning, strength/stability, and lip closure muscle memory needed to learn bilabial phonemes /m, b, p/. LIP GYM is also helpful in developing the sensation of the mentalis muscle and strength/stability when producing the /r/ sound.
For clients who are drooling, this activity encourages them to close their mouths to improve saliva management. This product was inspired and created through the thoughts of Jennifer Occhipinti Tonelli, MA, CCC-SLP.
