Oral Muscle Development Training: Laying the Foundation for Language Skills

system

 

Written by: Speech Therapist Ms Jenny T. Y. Kwok

Every child’s language ability is different. Some children can speak various words by the age of one and form sentences by two, communicating effectively with others. However, some children develop their language skills more slowly. In fact, the development of oral muscles has a profound impact on both eating and language abilities. Parents can engage in various small games to train their children’s oral muscles, laying a solid foundation for their language development.

 

Oral muscles include the muscles of the cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw, which develop and improve with age and eating experiences. The strength, control, flexibility, and coordination of these muscles are crucial factors in a child’s ability to learn to speak.

 

Daily meal times provide excellent practice opportunities. However, some cases involve children primarily eating finely chopped or pureed foods, which can hinder the normal development of their chewing abilities, affecting both eating and language development. Common issues include drooling and unclear or inaccurate pronunciation, so oral muscle problems must be addressed.

 

Here are some simple games to train oral muscles, which we hope will improve children’s oral capabilities through fun activities, thus laying a strong foundation for their language skills.

 

Blowing Practice

 

How to Play:

 

First, prepare a basin of water and position it between the parent and child, who should face each other. Fill the basin halfway with water and place a paper boat on the parent’s side, adding a small treat or toy (such as stickers, etc.) inside. The parent blows the paper boat toward the child, who can then take the treat. If the child wants more, they must blow the boat back toward the parent.

 

This blowing exercise strengthens the ability to retract the tongue and round the lips, enhancing the stability and control of the jaw, which improves speech clarity.

Chewing Practice
 

How to Play:

Cut harder vegetables or fruits (such as carrots, cucumbers, celery, and apples) into strips approximately the length and thickness of a finger. The parent holds the end of the vegetable strip and places it between the child’s molars to encourage chewing. The parent should stabilize the food’s position, pushing it slightly each time the child bites until the strip is completely eaten, alternating sides for practice. Parents can adjust the size, length, and hardness of the food strips according to the child’s abilities.

Chewing requires the coordination of the lips, tongue, and jaw muscles, while speech development also relies on the collaboration of different oral muscles to produce various sounds. Therefore, chewing training helps improve clarity of pronunciation.

口部肌肉發展要訓練 為語言能力奠基礎

system

 

撰文:言語治療師郭子欣

每個幼兒的語言能力都不同,有些小朋友我1歲多便能講出不同單字,2歲便能說出句子,與人溝通。但有些小朋友的語言能發展則較慢,事實上口部肌肉發展對進食及語言能力發展都有著深遠的影響。家長可以不同小遊戲,訓練小朋友口部肌肉,為其語言能力發展打好基礎。

 

口部肌肉包括面頰肌肉、唇部、舌頭及下巴的肌肉,會隨著年齡增長以及進食經驗轉變而不斷進步。口部肌肉的力度、控制、靈活度及協調性更是影響幼兒學習說話的重要因素。

 

幼兒日常進餐過程其實是很好的練習機會,但有些個案卻是因為經常進食細碎甚至糊狀食物,而導致咀嚼能力未能正常發展,既影響進食,亦影響語言發展。常見的情況如流口水及發音不清晰或準確,所以口肌問題必須正視。

 

以下是一些訓練口部肌肉的簡單小遊戲,希望能透過有趣活動改善小朋友口肌能力,為語言能力發展打好基礎。

 

吹氣練習

 

玩法:

 

首先預備一個盆,家長及小朋友面對面,把盆放在二人中間。然後加入半盆水,把一隻紙船放在家長的一邊,船內放上小朋友喜歡的食物或小禮品(如:貼紙等)。家長先把紙船吹向孩子的方向,小朋友便可以拿走船內的食物或小禮品,如果小朋友想再獲得食物或小禮品,必須把船吹向家長的方向。

 

透過這類吹氣練習,能加強舌頭向後縮以及圓嘴的能力,加強下顎的穩定性和控制度,以提升說話清晰度。

咀嚼練習

 

玩法:

 

把較硬身的蔬菜或水果(如:甘筍、青瓜、西芹和蘋果等)切成條狀,長度及粗度如食指相約。家長拿著蔬菜條的末端,然後把食物放到小朋友的大牙中間,以鼓勵小朋友運用大牙咀嚼。家長需要固定食物的位置,當孩子咬一下,家長便將食物推入一下,直至小朋友把整條蔬菜條吃光為止,左右兩邊交替練習。家長可因應小朋友的能力,調節食物條的粗幼長短及軟硬度。

 

咀嚼時需要嘴唇、舌頭及下顎等等的口部肌肉互相協調,而語音發展也是透過不同口部肌肉的配合發出不同的語音,所以咀嚼訓練有助改善發音清晰度。
