Technical description The Beckman Oral Motor Method is a speech technique consisting of assisted movement that activates functional face muscle responses.

Science foundation claims The Beckman Oral Motor approach is based on functional muscle responses to pressure and movement. It should help people who cannot follow verbal instruction develop strength in their mouths.

Protocol of Use No information.

The Soundsory Program can be used along with the Beckman Oral Method as it can really complement the assisted movement activity of the Oral Method. Soundsory is a multi-sensory home-based program that simultaneously works on the auditory and vestibular systems of the body. The program has a rhythmic music listening section and a section for body movement exercises.

It is a 40-day program of daily 30 minutes of music listening with exercises. The program is divided into two sessions of 20 days each.
