Oral Placement Therapy in Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Specialized therapy using tactile techniques to improve speech clarity. Located in Navrangpura, Ahmedabad.
What is Oral Placement Therapy?
Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) uses a combination of auditory, visual, and tactile techniques to teach children how to correctly position their articulators (jaw, lips, tongue) for clear speech. This hands-on approach helps children learn and establish the correct oral movements needed for speech sound production. It's particularly effective for children with speech sound disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, and oral motor difficulties.
At Shishu Child Development Centre in Navrangpura, Ahmedabad, we provide expert oral placement therapy services for children in Gujarat. Our experienced therapists are dedicated to helping children reach their full potential through evidence-based interventions.
How Oral Placement Therapy Works
The therapist begins with a comprehensive oral motor and speech assessment. Treatment involves direct manipulation and placement cues, using tools and techniques to teach specific oral placements. The therapist may use their hands, specialized tools, or implements to provide tactile feedback about where and how to move the articulators. Activities progress from simple movements to complex speech patterns.

The duration varies depending on the severity of the speech difficulties. Some children show progress within months, while others may need longer-term intervention.
