Unrestricted mobility of the tongue and lip are required for optimal speech, chewing, swallowing, oral hygiene, and breathing functions. Lingual range of motion, coordination, and strength impact the development of the skeletal structures of the jaw and the airway.

Your day is busy. Between play dates, laundry, errands, and meal prep, little time remains for you to create opportunities to teach your child necessary developmental skills.
