There is a wide range of printed an online publications for you to turn to based on what your child’s specific needs are. Here are a few, which I think provide useful information and engaging easy-to-implement strategies.

Lip Prints

Authored by MFSP’s founder, Joanne Hanson, Lip Prints is second an innovative series of books which were created for those treating children up to age five with oral-motor, feeding, swallowing, and articulation problems. This resource was designed to provide articles and activities that both professionals, as well as parents and caregivers can easily follow. Lip Prints incorporates the principles of child-centered, play-based and relationship-based therapy, making the activities effective as well as fun and interactive. This engaging book, which is a useful tool for intervention, provides a basic overview of the categories of speech, oral-motor, and feeding skills, and covers a wide range of topics including “Babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit,” “Transitioning to Good Utensils,” and “Low Muscle Tone.” Available from ProEd, Inc.
