Unrestricted mobility of the tongue and lip are required for optimal speech, chewing, swallowing, oral hygiene, and breathing functions.

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.
